"In the Street" is a photo book by Helen Levitt, one of the few photographers who learned photography from Walker Evans and was recognized by Evans. Levitt studied under Evans mainly in the 1930s, and later worked for Time magazine, Fortune magazine, etc., and held a solo exhibition at MoMA in 1943. Born and raised in Brooklyn, her favorite subject is the streets of New York, especially the poor areas symbolized by Harlem. At the time, most photographers turned a blind eye to the areas and people, but her street snaps, which captured them with a warm and loving gaze, were compiled in a photo book titled "A Way of Seeing" in 1965 and have become a masterpiece that has been reprinted many times since. This book is a collection of works by Levitt, who continued to look at such streets, focusing on the "graffiti" left by children. It is a wonderful book full of love and messages that are similar to Brassai's masterpiece "Graffiti de Brassai".
