Studying street - any suggestions?

[bljkasfdljkasfdljskfa]

I think I am going to make a few more short posts like these as my memory is working on it.

<a href="http://www.schaden.com/book/WooTomAll00629.html">Tom Wood</a> has some beatiful, beatiful color and a B&W work. I found about him through the ISSUE printed magazine, which may or may not be related to this <a href="http://www.documentography.com">site</a>. I highly recommend that magazine.

I exaggerrated, but I find the street series very effective. I haven't seen anything similar anywhere else.

I don't find C. Edinger particularly shocking, Maplethorpe had some beautiful yet shocking

images, Peter Witkin definately disturbing shocking images, some of the stuff in Hamburger

Eyes can have a certain shock value even in a wacky way. The photogrpapher who did the

series on drug addicts in Kansas City (was it Marks?), I found that work incredibly "tough"

and shocking, really compelling while hard to look at. etc etc blah blah, personal opinion,

blah..

Roy DeCarava was one of the best, often gets overlooked because he is African-American. His work will knock your socks off - guaranteed!

"check out anything by......Christine Rodero Garcia"

 

For the sake of those googling I'm guessing Jeff means Christina Garcia Rodero.

When you have the occasion, go to a flea market and sort thru piles of older anonymous

snapshots. Ocassionally one will hit you, maybe not exactly in the same way as a HCB, but

because it is real in a way that is hard to capture on the street as an outsider. One of the

things that I find successful in street work is a sense of closeness or familiarity with a

subject who is still clearly the other. And this is what I think can be learned from these

snaps, because even tho they were often taken by a family member, in older candids both

photog and subject respond in ways that are different from today's convention.

Heh, yeah. I was traveling and probably should have looked it up. I always get her name wrong, but she's a fantastic photographer.<p>

David is a great photographer, but I've never heard him call himself a "street photographer." Most of his work is cars or "erotic." Only the Bordertown stuff could be called "street."

This is a great thread. Nice to see such a cross-section of opinions.
