You're right. "Voyeurism" implies sexual deviancy and content. While some voyeuristic acts might involve street photography, all street photography is certainly not voyeurism. Of course, like many words, voyeur has come to mean more than what it once did. It's now frequenly used to describe anyone who enjoys watching the activity of others, even completely non-sexual situations. But that's a distortion of the word's original meaning, and it certainly retains negative connotations. Only a true voyeur, with a perverted sense of what is erotic, could possibly find any sexual content in this photograph. To the normal, it is merely a shot of three women. Paul
