Photography Post Vol. 2

[ProfMonnitoff]

I took this photograph when I was seventeen and had recently acquired my driver’s license. My little brother was with me at the time. I was too naive at the time to realize how exploitive my photographs were, and this is the first time I’ve shared this particular photograph. I have mixed feelings about it. I offered no solutions then, and none now.

its a bit busy on the right with the two objects that are only halfway in the frame but i really like it

[C0C0]

yea i'd like to see it cropped from the right a lil bit ...

[ProfMonnitoff]

too bad that if you crop out the plastic bag, you also crop out half of the guy on the sofa

[dino might]

pretty sure its a lady

I'm not anti-society, society's anti-me.

I'm not anti-religion, religion is anti-me.

I'm not anti-tradition, tradition is anti-me.

I'm not anti-anything, i just wanna be free...

Here are some pics of my bike ride downtown to go volunteer at the local soup kitchen. All of the shots are shot while riding, mostly aperture priority at f8 shooting from the hip

i scanned some lost photos. no photoshopping at all. Kyocera T-4. I'm def going to be using this from now on for trips. Does anyone know why some of the pics are a bit scratchy? is that because of the matte?

My t4 is my favorite camera it comes everywhere with me.

are they scans of negatives or prints? either way it could be dust in the scanner, on the negatives or scratched prints

It was the Seattle show. I have a love/hate thing with that venue.

dope shit Carl, always like your storytelling-ish stuff.

ive been looking at terry richardsons pictures recently and was wondering what other people think about this.

hes a pretty big name and all, worked with lots of high profile clients, but at least most of his actual photos look sort of elementary it seems, the quality and what not. you think its some signature post processing editing whatever look he does after taking the picture with lamps and $10K worth of equipment or rather more like the average joe shooting provocative subject matter with a typical consumer camera and a good eye?

just something ive wondered about, maybe i havent put my finger on it yet..

[Egbert- Joe]

average joe shooting provocative subject matter with a typical consumer camera a nice eye

Or at least that's what I've read about him.

jergen teller does it better

Terry Richardson is notorious for using a Yashica T4, the same camera tha Poly shot the photos above with. I am not to sure about his post processing though...

[dino might]

jergen teller does it better

so which is he?

yashica? poly said kyocera?

[corter]

he shoots with point and shoots, maybe a reflector. Google search his technique, there's a famous story about him traveling to a shoot for a high end client (prada or coach or something) where he lost his camera, so he shot with kodak disposables and they used the shots. ChadM's right though, he shoots with point and shoots, i'm pretty sure it's yashica t4's and contax t3's.

personally, he's pioneered his own style, but so many companys are bastardizing it and just using plain old terrible pictures and him as an excuse, i don't like it. his stuff is awesome though, i agree with you.

[poly800rock]

so which is he?

yashica? poly said kyocera?

yashica is the orginal one, the yashica t-4 is the model kyocera based their t-4 on. The kyocera t-4 came out in 2003 iirc. or maybe 2002. Yashica came out before that.

[aaronS]

juergen uses contax t2's and g2's, terry uses yashica t4's, contax g2's, and some canon digital stuff. here's a pretty good article kinda dated but good none the less. http://www.kevinbraddock.com/features01.php

i just bought a t2 i'm pretty excited to start using it.
