Martin Parr - Documentary or Street photographer?

'Street photography is a genre of photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places.'
'Documentary photography usually refers to a popular form of photography used to chronicle significant and historical events. It is typically covered in professional photojournalism, or real life reportage, but it may also be an amateur artistic, or academic pursuit. The photographer attempts to produce truthful, objective, and usually candid photography of a particular subject, most often pictures of people.'

I have always known Martin Parr to be a documentary photographer, but after looking at his images I feel that his work can be seen to be taken by a street photographer. When looking for a description for both documentary and street photography, both are seen to be candid situations producing truthful imagery. 

Whilst looking at the photographers that use Google street view I have found that Doug Rickard and Mishka Henner both border on social documentary and street photography. They are documenting significant events in the 21st century, they are truthful, real life reportage of what is happening in poverty struck areas. 

When researching 'What is street photography' I came across this link:
http://www.lfph.org/what-is-street-photography 
It lists within the site different street photographers, one that is mentioned is Martin Parr. 

Martin Parr is known for his photographic projects that take a critical look at aspects of modern life, but his images can be seen as candid imagery; capturing moments that are quite bizarre and funny.

Parr can be seen to poke fun at working call holiday makers, from the images he has taken at Brighton beach. "The principle objection would be that I would appear to be cynical, voyeuristic, exploitative." http://www.bbc.co.uk/photography/genius/gallery/parr.shtml
Although that may be true, and he may be documenting a critical view of modern day life, I still feel this is more like street photography. It is capturing real moments of holiday makers, which you would of found in the late 80's walking around the street of any northern beach resort. I feel that the images relate more to street photography, they are truthful truthful and blunt; but the use of these images make them into documentary photography.
Parr's images remind me of the work Maciej Dakowicz, who got his influence from Parr. His photography piece 'Cardiff after dark' documents Cardiff's nightlife, which he five year producing. Dakowicz can also be seen poking fun at the nightlife in Cardiff and what happens, but it also captures real moments that are open for the viewer's opinions.

 In my opinion on both Parr and Dakowicz image's is that they capture real moments in time, but the photographers account behind the images make us believe they are poking fun out of the subject in the images. They are both documenting and taking a critical look at aspects of working class lives, but the pictures are a clear indication of street photography. Personally for me, it highlights the hilarous accounts of real behaviour, in both Parr's and Dakowicz's work. 
Parr's images at Brighton beach remind me of my childhood and how I spent my summer holidays at the beach, and although I find them to be mocking working class; I still find them quite humorous and a factor of daily life in the late 80's early 90's.
