WOW...


This Steacy guy is extraordinary. You know what's interesting, aside from the obvious? Here's a street photographer, basically, working with a 4x5 camera... Don't see that much anymore. Awesome...

As I'm about to sit one of my University finals on monday on the topic of Mr. Cartier-Bresson and his fellow french 'togs, I feel I should give this a bash! I'll probably only be in from around mid month though as I have a degree to get.

Ever wondered why street photographers are so insecure?


It's a good question...


It's because every street photography "session" is like an ethnological field trip. The contact with strangeness and how you deal with it is crucial for the effect on your work.


A fine example of the 'serious' genre.

It's funny, when I shoot in Harlem or the South Bronx folks get quite upset sometimes...paranoid...defensive...aggressive. You get the occasional threat ("yo mutherfucker...ask before you shoot...or I'll...") which is in stark contrast to Jewish Williamsburg where the Hassids ask you what camera you have or what lens you shoot with.

It must be that B&H connection...

Uhm -- okay. Sign me up.

Looking forward to this! I've been idle lately!

Just finished my first side challenge, May Flowers, and learned a lot. I'm loving the 'serious' rule, no reason to stress the quantity. :)
05/25/2009 10:03:55 PM · #23
Add me to the list as well. This is also my first side challenge, but I do live close to Duke and UNC. I am not worried about finding crazy things to photograph.
05/25/2009 09:50:57 PM · #24
Well, please add me to the list. This will be new for me and quite a challenge I am sure. Our Main Street is three blocks long. If the SC was changed to "Serious County Road Photography" I'd be a little more in my element. I'll see what I can do, and I look forward to seeing your work.
