1. Street Photography: Documenting the Human Conditi…
2 months ago
Back in 2006 I wrote a .pdf about purism and street photography and posted it on deviantart.com. I featured not only my own work but many of my street-shooting friends from all over the world.
Having wrote that it was always in the back of my mind that I wanted to update it. Yes, I could have written something yet I really wanted to do it with video. Until the Canon EOS 5D Mark 2 came about -- and with the most recent firmware update -- i couldn't have achieved "the look" i wanted.
Over the course of two months this summer I enlisted the help of some friends to shoot ... I dunno ... the next volume or whatever this is.
In this video you'll see my work and that of photographers Severin Koller, Frank Jackson and Mario Anzuoni, all with different perspectives for shooting street photography.
There are too many people to thank; please read the credits at the end of part three.
I hope you enjoy it. I know that I had an amazing time shooting and editing it.

"King"
I won't argue that film looks different, but for me I prefer the digital workflow. I have only seen film in my youth and have had a lot of time with DSLR's and I love them.
What a pity I cannot embed it on my site. Would like to show it to more people...
Just that there was too much "preaching" in some parts of the commentary ...
I wonder if you could merge 3 parts into one and do broadcast version- possible for download- for us, who wants to watch it on TV.
It´s just an idea :)
Any way... I linked the video if you don't mind.
Just kidding. I use an M3 and and M6 and like them, but I also like my 5D and FG. If I were rich I'd get an M9, but that's not likely. I'm not sure that the lines you draw in this video are as clear-cut as you make them out to be, but it's good to talk to people instead of berate them, which I felt the pdf piece was doing mostly.

did you have Leica M9 from Leica company?
chris, you look like ed kashi >_<
but there are more rangefinders than Leica M`s ... feels a little bit like advertising, which is the total opposite of your intends, i guess.
