Documentary photography is extended form — that is, a work composed of a sizeable number of images. Some relation to text is a given, even if it’s only minimal, as in the identification of subject, date, and location; the text may in fact be extensive. There is no external time limit implicit in this form; some documentary projects have stretched over decades.
For this reason, the documentary photographer is likely to have the opportunity to refine the project, not only through the analysis of the work-in-progress at various stages but even by the reshooting of unsatisfactory segments of the work. The elaborate nature of such projects lends itself to subjects that are seen as enduring; for much the same reason, the final forms they assume tend to be durable: the book and the exhibition have to date functioned as the primary embodiments of documentary projects, though certain audio-visual formats are serving this purpose with increasing frequency.

By extension, consider your work as a street photographer a long, huge, ongoing project where the vision, the constant research, but also its evolution embody the project itself.
Street photography, let's not fool ourselves, is based on single shots. which we can then also bring together in a single theme but essentially it lives on that cultured moment that works by itself. Street Photography is completely distinct from anything else we can encounter in the world of photography. Street photographers themselves are different photographers.
