Allen Herbert Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) A twist, Sam. Cool place, Ludmilla, shame about the beach being closed. Dogs are so happy to see you with their wagging tails Sanford gone medieval plus a drain pipe. Edited August 29, 2020 by Allen Herbert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 The photo of the dog got me thinking of a tale a friend told me. He watched a YouTube vid of a dog being abandon by its owner.. He drove away, and the poor dog was trying to follow him, and keep up with his car. I doubt if he was kind to the dog, but the dog was still loyal. The cynical would say the dog was following its food bowl, however, I would think there's a lot more to a dogs loyalty than just the food bowl. What has this got to do with this post? Well, I like to think there is a degree of humanity in documentary/street photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samstevens Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It’s very odd One of the best reasons to post a photo. 2 "You talkin' to me?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samstevens Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I guess that depends on whether one is aware of the photo’s oddness. Well, if you're interested in the photographer's awareness of his photo's oddness, why not take a moment or two to tell him what you find odd about it. Otherwise, it comes across as a hollow put down, rather than a well-intentioned or informative comment. 2 "You talkin' to me?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inoneeye Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Richard's posts over the years are often different from what is usual and expected for that they stand apart. Many are very compelling imo. I have never taken the time to say it. Now I am. I like your work Richard, if you care for elaboration I'd be happy to oblige.

samstevens Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I love his night photos. A little dodgy hanging out in Oakland neighborhoods late at night with a view camera :) My photo was taken at a motel out near Ocean Beach in SF. There was a No Words thread called Motel, so I went out with the intention of shooting the Art Deco neon sign in front. I did, but then was drawn into the courtyard by the still and quiet night, the style, colors, and light. After taking this shot, totally "focused" on the atmosphere and on taking the picture, I was walking out of the courtyard and passed a motel employee walking the grounds. That was the first time I thought about what it might have looked like to someone else when I was shooting at a motel room's lit window. We simply nodded to each other and I got into my car and came home, pleased with what I got. In this forum, we often discuss ethics, and that experience makes me smile at how differently I as a photographer may experience what I'm doing from how someone else might see it from the outside. Don't get me wrong, I see elements of voyeurism in both Hido's work and in my photo. But when judging the actions of a photographer, it's best to remind ourselves we're not them. And what may look "obvious" in a photo or to someone watching the photo being taken is sometimes a far cry, in some important ways, from what was actually going on for the photographer, even when there are strains of the kinds of visuals and emotions that bring ethical considerations to mind.
