The good thing about street photography is that it allows us to take pictures of several scenes happening at once. It allows us to freeze a moment in time and see several things happening at once. For example, we could take an aerial view of a busy street and it would allow us to see various things. People in cars racing by to do whatever it is that they were planning to do on that day, which could be as simple as picking up milk to driving to their wedding. We could also see people boarding the bus for their daily commute, people walking by or running because of various reasons. Street photography also captures the way of life for the people around that area, and is useful for figuring out how the local people live their lives. It is a very good tool that captures the life of the common man throughout history. For example, photos in the 1920s give us a good idea what people dressed like and basically help us figure out who they were before.
