The Soul Missing in Modern Street Photography

There was a time that I truly thought that all street photography should be done in black and white. I also thought that film was the best format for it - partially because of the grain, how ti rendered the scenes, and how classic everything looked. But my mind has changed since then at least in some ways. However, I think that there's something critically missing from much of street photography today: grit. Instead, it's all about pleasing an algorithm.
