over exposure

I like a couple of shots from your serie...

'bout what you're writing, I just think you should let it happenn, maybe concentrate on something else, the urge of shooting will come by itself...I always have the camera with me, except very rare situations, but i don't feel the desire to shot if i don't know what..

Oh yes, my camera dropped several times, but i don't care ..it's been wasted since day one when i bought it..have fun...

Marc, were you serious about the smoke and cameras issue ??

You will find a really long discussion about shooting homeless people here in Photonet...

It's a risky argument to say that you're trying to find a way for having homeless people signing you a model release...

Choices may be personal, but this look too harsh to me, I doubt this will help them in any way.. and you're planning to sell the prints, right??

Usually there aren't rules...it depends on the situation, I just shoot on a daily basis, if someone is enough interested in sometime we have a discussion over it, some other times it just happens fast and everyone is into their routine and don't care about a camera..sometime i shoot from the hip, but is happening less lately.

No cards, sometime I mailed photos.

I guess it's just about you and your true approach, be honest to yourself and do it, things will happen. Sometime you get to know interesting individuals.

yes, Bruno, this link is really gret, how did you found it?

I'm a lover of photo books, and this guy, with his street exibition in a city like Paris, really makes the thing..I'm surely going to buy the book, thanks...check out the link in that page that brings to another similar project from others photographers, W.Klein among those..another book, too..

ye, editing a portfolio is really a hard work...

Years ago I made a plan and printed all the stuffs I liked more, and made many books..I started with album selected by years, then for different kind of photography..But keeping it updated was expensive and boring cause you had to find the time for selecting, printing and organizing the books.

When I moved, put all Those books inside a box and leaved them there for years (they are still there..). The same end was decided for my website, removed after many update-headache..now I just put this and that in a blog.

Nowadays, I have all scanned and archived on an external HD, in different folders..I can find easily a picture, generally. I make only wall prints when I want, or just prints for giving them away.

Now and then I put togheter some book in Freehand with pics and text and I print it digitally in some of the Online services..those go in the library with all the other books, they are smaller and don't ask the viewer to look throug hundred of shots.

Oh, I made some DVDs with music, for the trips..

Definitely a varied collection, i like the layout of the ad pages, expecially some of 'em..do you project them or you just make the shots?

By the way, i liked different shots in the b/W section...

Keep coming down here!

Welcome, this has become the only forum I'm looking forward too, where brand names are thrown away..

Seeing your stuffs in the future.

Hi, i don't think that the minolta you used is a problem...I hope this will be not taken as too raw, but i can't see what you talk about in your shots...what I see are some postcards, but no life, no tension in there...I don't know, look like you were distant from the sense of all that..

Thank you anyway for having posted it. I'll look forward to some next serie.

I really like your work, there could be a set of 6-7 pics that I woukd edit out, since they are too similar, but I can see a nice project going on in this presentation...And I've never been in your country..

Thank you.

Which is exactly the "edge" between a documentary project and personal manipulation in your opinion?

I don't think there's a definite one, expecially when we think to post-processing work...but even the shooting act is involved..

Of course when you shoot you have your language and style, we've got many example of documentary shots that explore the world of "unreal"...

What the shots inspire you to? which is the feeling you get from the view?

That's the value of the intent, away from technical tricks, IMO.

Cheers.

No excuses needed!!

I've been visiting your site before, I guess it was the NY photoblog thing, similar in style...

I will turn around this new version for sure, is full of really good street-stories..

thanx
