Here's the camera of your dreams: Leica M-D (Type 262) - you're welcome! 😉

Auto focus? I’d take an FM3a with a digital sensor any time Nikon will make one.

That would be sweet

that's the Pixii Max camera.

As someone who can’t put down my M3 and M4, I’d love to try a digital camera like this. All that extra stuff is just a distraction more often than we like to admit to ourselves, or justification for GAS.

I’d love that, would honestly contribute to a kickstarter for that! I think Orson Welles said once that freedom is the enemy of creativity. While that’s quite an extreme expression, I definitely think having less options helps me avoid choice paralysis.

Woww..memorial history world.😮😅😊

where is W. Eugene Smith

great review, I see Eggleston as a Southern photographer who chose to photograph things in and of the south. I see Shore as a travel photographer. Most of his works especially from Common Places being taken while on multiple road trips. Also let's not forget A lot of Shores work was taken with Large format cameras whereas most of Eggleston's work was shot with 35mm and sometimes medium format.

I like it because it reminds me of my grandparents. My grandfather was a sailor, my grandmother was a nurse. They met and married right after the end of the war. Of course he didn't randomly grab her, they went to big band swing dances on Saturday night.

Ey, european here... Do you think is there any way to get these here? Love the channel!

Wow. I wonder why she isn’t talked about more in the photographic community.

Much needed reminder! Thank you for this simple yet wise advice, Zach!

It is a grey area but it's definitely dramatized. Just look at 2:14 all the people with their phones out. No one cares. But a single photo with a camera is something that, for whatever weird reason, is offensive enough. To me it's about the way you go that makes it ethical or not. If the people react badly you're not supposed to keep pushing. And flashing everyone just for the hell of it is dumb. There needs to be a reason and it will be simple to explain once confronted. Not showing the ugly parts is pretending that poverty is not part of the world we live in. Our system lives off poverty and it's something we need to look at critically. Pretending it's not happening is the worst we can do. Documenting it is a way to open a discussion. The content of a photo is highly subjective too. A Garbageman might not think too badly about his job while someone else might see his job as something ugly and come to the conclusion that a photo is disrespectful because of it. I don't think one of the most important jobs in a city should be something to feel bad about. It simply shows the assumptions privileged people have towards it. The point of Bresson is pretty damn wishy washy to me. His photos are equally as questionable as those of other street photographers and yet you talk good about him.

interesante personaje , gracias por compartir .

I am on day 798 of photography everyday

I'm currently taking an art appreciation class, and my instructor had us do a presentation on anything art related, at the same time I'm doing photography courses, and I found out about Bill, I did some extensive research about him, and ended up doing my presentation on him and his life as a photojournalist.

zach! thank u so much for sharing your knowledge on photography and making it more accessible everyday!! it makes me so happy. as someone who’s studying image and video in university, we’re taught the technical parts of photography extensively and that can get really exhausting and take away from our passion for it; but your videos remind me often of why i love this form of art and i have a whole page in my notes app dedicated to mantras and artists you’ve brought my attention to hahah! means a lot!! keep up the great work :)

the boy, is the boy alive?

Kinda funny when you consider who her girlfriend was... 😅

Easily one of my favorite presidents was James Dean. (Monument mythos joke)

😃

I do a similar thing but i hold the camera not to my eye, but connect it to my cell and use the app to snap pictures. People think im looking at my phone and just holding the camera.

He acts like an old guy i worked with who would always fake dropping money out of his pocket when a new guy was hired to see if hed keep it or say something. It looks like phony fidgeting, to me anyway.

👍

OK I just read a brief summary on wiki, the book does sound very interesting, and I think I see what it's getting at "Sontag argues that the proliferation of photographic images had begun to establish within people a "chronic voyeuristic relation to the world. Among the consequences of this practice of photography is that the meaning of all events is leveled and made equal. she argues, perhaps originally with regard to photography, the medium fostered an attitude of anti-intervention. Sontag says that the individual who seeks to record cannot intervene, and that the person who intervenes cannot then faithfully record, for the two aims contradict each other. In this context, she discusses in some depth the relationship of photography to politics." Thanks for this, I'll definitely check it out!

Speaking as someone who studied theater, a lot of artists can be so far up their own self-important asses. It’s a photo, lady. You’re not a doctor or a soldier or a firefighter who holds the literal power of life and death in your hands.

I tried several times over the years. It didn’t work.

Here is my rant if you would like to read it. Her logic doesn't follow unless she want to take it all to way to criticizing her own authorship. "To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them they can never have;" We as humans, ONLY have personal subjective perspective to analyze anything and anyone. The moment one perceives another visually is no different to capturing that moment into supplying that can be recorded. The way my wife "sees" me, I will never see myself BECAUSE I CAN'T. "...it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed." Susan, there is something biologically engrained in ourselves to symbolize concepts and experiences into something easier to understand. If she has an issue with the practice of turning people into "possessable objects," look at the anthropology of steles. They believed that at the passing of their loved one their "spirit" would transfer to the stele and remain there. And they family would make offers to the stele for better weather and better crop yield or what have you. But that was not just a symbol of their family member with a depiction of them but rather the vessel that their ancestor possessed. She then should have an issues with paintings, sculptures, maybe even music and BOOKS considering how those "symbolically capture the intimate thoughts and feelings of a person that can be possessed"

XD you on the floor is such a vibe.

Tell me you've never felt an emotion seeing a childhood or family photo before without telling need you've never felt an emotion before.

"Perfectly banal perhaps." God bless critics. "Consciously casual" is really helpful, too. I've been thinking a lot about what I want out of my photography work, and oddly, it's by exploring some of the oddballs that I'm starting to find it. Muriyama - "I want to take a lot of nasty photos." "The camera doesn't matter." With Shore, I like when he talks about about how he composed. Eggleston moves made me think of how people say Winogrand is more like an athlete holding a camera. This was great. Learned and thought about a lot.

😂

If we’re gonna compare cameras to guns, I prefer Chris Marker’s take: “The photo is the hunt. It’s the instinct of hunting without the desire to kill. It’s the hunt of angels… You track, you aim, you fire, and click! Instead of a dead man, you make him eternal.”

Thank you for your amazing photo and for sharing!

I usually go for runs in the blue hour, it looks good and the temperature is perfect for a walk, jog, or run

Tip: if your client needs shots outside of buildings or cityscapes and it’s grey, shoot during the blue hour. Turns grey skies blue!

Martha didn't know back then - cameraman never dies 😂

He never thought she was human otherwise he would help her no matter what.

Wasn’t it 1983?

amazing story telling just from a photograph really an amazing work from theresa frare and i would guess its really hard breaking to documenting this kind of stuff 😢

I was looking through an old family photo album one day and came across a photo of my great grandfather standing next to John F Kennedy, exactly 3 weeks to the day before he was assassinated. JFK was in chicago that week and my grandfather was assigned to security and took a photo with JFK. I always thought it was an interesting photo because there is glare on the presidents shadow, right where he was shot. Still gives me goosebumps to this day. It remains in my photo album and I have yet to release it publically. I figure it might mean more when I'm dead than it does now.

Culture vulture jay z. As usual.

Seems like an entertaining practice

While Bruce gildons style is very aggressive, people like him are necessary. Trevor wisecup is a better example. Paulie B’s wallow talkie with him is amazing. He can have a conversation with anyone curious and give them respect no matter what.

Most Americans are drones who would rather be told what to do. Such ignorance of our rights.
