damianmulinix Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 For anyone who is interested, here are some links to some slice of life stories I just added here. All where shot in 2001. The story of an African American boy adopted by a white family http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=321949 The harbor in my hometown http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=321952 A slice of life on a boy who was paralyzed at 16. http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=321936 A slice of life about a teen mother http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=321942 And some various singles that I liked from that year http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=301744 I enjoy looking at what others have to offer and feel that it is only right to give something back for others to look at. Enjoy. � DKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beau 1664876222 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Damian, You're doing some great stuff. You have a very unorthodox framing style and it works great. Did you really do all these with your Nikons or did you use your Leica too? Also, what film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damianmulinix Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 Beau, I couldn't remember what gear I used on all of them, so I just guessed on some. I didn't get my first RF until the summer of 2001, so anything before that was with Nikon, after that it was a mix, depending on the subject. -DKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damianmulinix Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 Al, I thank you for your support, but I hope that we can all get past the nastiness that took place in that other thread and try not to perpetuate it here. Lets all try to learn from each other instead. Thanks, �DKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert_smith Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Nice work!<P> Hope you don't mind, but I think you will get more people viewing the images if they are easier to get to, so I made the links clickable.<P><a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=321952"> hometown harbor </a>, <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=321936"> paralyzed at 16 </a>, <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=321942"> teen mother </a>, <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=301744"> single shots </a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack_lo_..._t_o Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 It's as if somebody revived the old Life magazine! I don't find the framing too unorthodox, I think you had lots of that style of composition 40-50 years ago. Appropriate that it would appear in this forum, as I think this way of shooting came out when Leica began replacing Rollei TLR as the basic tool of Photo-J. It's very informational, but it's dynamic. My favourite is the boy at the "mud truck" event; there's so much character in that image. Makes you speculate about his personality, his parents, his culture, etc. Not even a mediocre picture in there. We're priveleged to have you among us Damian.

travis1 Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Thanks Damian for sharing. I like the cowboy shot most. The compositions are not unorthodox, just simple and effective. I am also wondering how you got to do stories like these? Do you know these people or ? ANd thanks Albert for the links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingell Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 A wonderful series of narratives, Damian. I was especially touched by the images of the 16-year-old paralyzed boy. I look forward to seeing more from you! Thanks for sharing...Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h._p. Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 "someone whose uploaded picture portfolio consists of nothing but travel snapshots, a mirror self-portrait (oh, how original)" Coming from someone who's uploaded zero, that's a really cool comment but I'm sure you take fascinating pictures, Al. Hey, I'm just glad to see the cult of St Damian in full swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_k. Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I like them all. Good work! I dilike moste of the junk posted around here (I'm not saying mine is different) but this is good stuff. I like the way the colors look in you color work.. particularly the teenage mother series. What film(s) do you use for you color stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damianmulinix Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 Thanks all for your compliments and critiques. Travis, I've been able to do these stories because I have worked as a photojournalist at newspapers for the last 7 or 8 years and have been lucky to work at some where stories and narratives are a high priority. As for the film, nothing special. Whatever was the pro Fuji film at the time is what we were buying. I usually shoot with ISO 100 for most stuff, unless at night or dark rooms where I use the ISO 800. I really never use flash, haven't really for several years unless studio lighting. And no I don't have super fast F1.0 lenses either, I just know how to work with what I have. And I think I know what I can do as far as exposure goes in certain situations, wther it be low light or what not, and feel comfortable going without flash. And finally Mr. Platter, I bless thee my son (I say as I draw a cross with my finger). The Saint has spoken!! -DKM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
