"If you look carefully at life, you see blur. Shake your hand. Blur is part of life."-- William Klein
"Do not mistake sharpness for truth."-- Peter Henry Emerson
In this episode, Antonio and Ward embark on an enlightening discussion about starting a photography collective. Drawing from their experience in building their own photography group, they provide invaluable tips and advice on the importance of having a common gathering place, patience, and evolving organically.
Antonio pays tribute to recently departed friend and fellow photographer, Mel DiGiacomo, whose approach to capturing the essence of life has deeply impacted his own work. Through personal reflections, Antonio shares how Mel’s distinct and authentic style, characterized by its raw and candid nature, challenged and reshaped his perspective on photography. This tribute to Mel is both intimate and enlightening, offering listeners a glimpse into the lasting legacy of a photographer who truly understood the power of the medium to tell compelling stories.
The conversation shifts to explore the artistic use of intentional blur in photography. Antonio and Ward discuss how embracing blur can add a layer of emotion and movement to images, encouraging photographers to experiment with focus to convey the fleeting nature of moments and memories. This part of the discussion is not just about technical advice; it’s a philosophical exploration of how imperfection and abstraction can enhance the narrative quality of a photograph. By inviting listeners to reconsider the conventional pursuit of sharpness, the Street Shots guys champion a more introspective and expressive approach to photography, underscoring the medium's capacity to capture the intangible and evoke deep, personal connections.
