Melbourne Candid Series #149

 


Beach Road, St Kilda

Lately I received some nasty comments about my noisy imperfect B+W photos. Some even asked me to use proper camera gear too.


To me, I went through different life crisis or drama. These photos were my ways to distract myself from other inevitable mundane matters. The poor resolution or back focusing of the gear actually take me to those time too. 

Honestly most of these posted images on this blog were sitting in a forgotten hard disc. Like most of us, these were often lost images that one cannot get this memory back, good or bad. 

Pentax Posts - Check out these ugly photos lol

  5. No hagas caso, las fotos en B/N tienen su encanto y una foto no es solo como un buen disparo y una buena edición, sino también lo que nos transmite la imagen.
    Un saludo.

    1. Interpretation varies. I do think there was a reason I stopped doing street candid years ago

    1. Thank you, Denise. I feel the same. It is a way to express oneself. These images were interpreted as failures. Who would have known that they actually meant more when I got older?

  8. Roentare, pay no attention to those bores who criticize your camera equipment, or technical flaws in photos. Images are created by the eyes of the photographer and reality. The camera is just a recording device, some better than others, but it is the photographer who takes the picture, not the camera. Your street photography captures a gritty reality, and the images are your own choices. Keep it up. It is your vision that is most important.
