How can you not love him? The gift of honesty and heart

[@hramakrishnaiah413]

He is brutally honest and I love his approach.

[@ChetanDodwad]

I like the perspective that Bruce can still demonstrate that he can seek consent with subjects of people. I will still agree that his works can be controversial. Particularly when he does projects with the homeless community and the drug epidemic across America. I admire for himself being critical of his works. And like revered photographers, it can take a while to get a great image. And I would not like anyone, including myself; for beating themselves up that they cannot get “banger” and good images everytime. Many street photographers do come home with rolls of images and hundreds of RAW files. By finding a great image, one must go out there and take pictures!

Wonderful. Sounds like a Mary Karr memoir-my own early life too. The gritty, hard, yes nasty images are the real stuff seen by somebody not trying to do the fashion. Getting older, getting closer is a thing too. Carry on with the magic of photography in showing what you see.

Ladies and gentlemen… Bruce “my wife is French” Gilden

[@fellowcitizen]

Always enjoy hearing from Bruce G, and there's something extra when the talk is recent enough to feel like we inhabit the same world. P.S. I'd love to see a comic book of Bruce's adventures by Mike Allred 💎🦘

[@tonydesarzec907]

Fabulous!

[@GiulioSciorio]

52 subs? WTF is wrong with the world? Let’s get Bruce more subs. This is insane

[@chqngolion1777]

Channels new

[@manojbhartigupta6555]

👍❤️👍

[@k4kafka]

Interesting for sure, but what’s with the stage lighting?

[@dtjarks]

With two ex wives and a long term gf myself… I laughed out loud when he talked about being a good judge of character. 😂

[@dflf]

Having them sitting in the dark makes them look like they're in the witness protection program

[@MassiveBenny]

Bruce Gilden, such an evil genius and god like figure, that you're not allowed to look upon his face.

[@joevelezart]

The way Parr holds the mic is a little unfortunate. (Can't help it, I'm a visual person)
