Colour in the streets
machts gut replied to Allen Herbert's topic in The History & Philosophy of Photography
I was critizised for my assumption of the american ruled market and the critique was right! But I won't accept your definition of art as defined by the market. I am a regular reader of a german photo magazine that publishes all sorts of approaches to commercial and art photograpghy https://photonews.de/ and although there is a strong bias towards professional photography many of the photos published will probably never find a buyer but influences other photographers. Second most street photography exhibitons I visited the last maybe 10 years showed more colour than b&w. Again I think it's your own perception of a diverse scene. -

Touché. I've gone too far with my assumptions. -

Allen, you are repeating yourself and you mistake the art market for art. Is it just the american way to value only what makes money? I hope not. But you are not even providing figures, just your perception of the so called market. -

Can you give an example of what you mean by "the real commercial world"? -

There certainly is street photography in colour. Look at the amazing work of Helen Levitt, who worked in b&w and in colour, Saul Leiter, Paul Graham and Martin Parr. Meyerowitz has already been named. -
Me too thinks he has a totally different approach than HCB, but from todays point of view they might look familiar (both people, b&w, roughly the same time and fashion of clothing), I like both! As for technique, I think Fan Ho used mainly a Rolleiflex.

Back in the darkroom

It should be 13mins not 3 (and at 22 Degr. Celcius!). Just a typo I suppose. -
Point and Shoot with manual controls.

Maybe the Contax T, T2 or T3 come close to what you want. -
Poignant Images from Around the Start of World War 2
machts gut replied to John Seaman's topic in Casual Photo Conversations
Although the start of WWII is usually dated on Sept. 1st 1939 you should not forget that Germany occupied Czechoslowakia, Austria and Lithunia in March 1939. That the aggressive foreign policy of Germany would lead into a war was obvious. Thanks for shareing these interessting photos. -
New Lens, Old Camera Question
machts gut replied to Ricochetrider's topic in Mirrorless Digital Cameras
When I convert my pictures to b&w I prefer RAW. It gives much more options to adjust contrast and tonality and I save them as png and get more grey tones than with jpgs. -

machts gut replied to JDMvW's topic in Casual Photo Conversations
If you browse through the Ostkreuz homepage you will discover many treasures of former east german photographers, like the Hauswalds, Sybille Bergemann, Werner Mahler and many more. -
Ute Mahler Photographs from East Germany
machts gut replied to JDMvW's topic in Casual Photo Conversations
Thanks for the link. For me she was one of the greatest. The quality of her photography after the fall of the wall can easily hold up with her G.D.R. work. I love her Polaroids as well. Here's another link to her agency: Ute Mahler: Ostkreuz
