Kenny - Lovely set of pictures and very thought-provoking! I thoroughly enjoyed them. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.

I love these photographs. If you want to do it, they are the beginning of a book.

 

Spring is overdue :)

 

Do the people at the University of Guelph help out?

Of course, now someone will say that they are not street or documentary (in the sense understood here) photography.

 

Why do I have the feeling, having read the quote in one of your photographs from Ghandi, that you might want to push that question :)

How do you understand documentary is "understood here" troll.

Careful, Barry. He's a lawyer.

Kenny, love the photo and would like to buy a print -- please put us in touch. There is a

guy on this site who would say this is NOT documentary photography (!) -- I'm staring at

Koudelka's MAN WITH HORSE on my wall, and I have a collection that includes many

MASTERS photographing animals.

 

Having heard a panel of doc filmmakers -- all icons -- about 10 years ago, there is no

clear definition of documentary. It is very eclectic.

 

A famous critic told me when I was starting out that the difference between photography

and fine art was one word: INTENT. So if the photographer's intent was to document these

animals in some way, then this is valid doc photogrpahy. It is NOT NATURE

PHOTOGRAPHY.

 

I think people quibbling over pigeon-holing labels don't get out and shoot enough!
