That's what the fuji does best. Nice film like quality and spontanious, candid image from the street. It's gonna get better!

Well I'm expecting some coaching. So sharpen your pencil. You got me into this shit !

As do I - I got inspired by your results the other day and so I went out shooting some street in the city again yesterday at lunch (it's been many many months). Fortuitous timing since one of my workmates brought his 35/2 in for me to borrow and try. (I have no wides now after upgrading to FX - my 50/1.4 is my widest lens

).

Chris, from what you and Matt have been posting recently, I can see a new generation of high quality street photography that doesn't require a red dot and thousands of dollars invested in glass.

forgiven

With the first - I don't know whats to the right of the image but I think I would have preferred the shot angled more that way (so minus the coke signs, the guy more on the left of frame and something? on the right)

by **chrisk** on Mon Nov 26, 2012 8:23 pm

yes, it would have been better him walking into the frame, but you dont always get to be picky ! lol

I love the irony in the 4th last one. Nice shooting from the hip.

Chris, did you ask him to hold that paper for you? [Is that the BigIssue?]

by **lightning** on Sun Dec 02, 2012 9:08 pm

Contemplation, smug guy sitting down (I got you) standee, bastard's got me!! I can't let that happen, theres got to be a way out LOL great story telling.
others that do it for me are "dogs life" and "look at me"

by **chrisk** on Sun Dec 02, 2012 10:32 pm

surenj wrote:Chris, did you ask him to hold that paper for you?

lol no man. These are candids. He just looked right at me as I was walking towards him and took the pic.

Is that the BigIssue?

yes, it was the big issue. I bought it and bought him a #9 salad from saladworks. Thai chicken, bloody good, (gotta add crispy fried noodles aswell though !!). I hope he enjoyed it afterwards.

Thank you pat and lightning.

Super stuff Chris, keep up the good work. I am sure you and your photography will evolve and develop (excuse the pun!), looking forward to seeing the results of your journey over the coming months.

by **chrisk** on Mon Dec 03, 2012 7:45 pm

thanks Geoff ! :cheers:

Gee that's an image that is thought provoking. How can we have people living on the streets like that in a developed country such as this.

I thought of the same thing when I was in Washington DC!!

It is a good question for which there is no simple answer. There will be parts of society who will say it is all of their own making and others that will say it is the blame of the system, lack of mental health programs, lack of employment services for the long term unemployed, etc.

That homeless man in the US who was given the boots by the policeman had, apparently become bankrupt and then was living in homeless shelters.

I realise their are many a reason for people living like this, some even choose to live like it while others have no choice. It can be a result of circumstance, financial hardship etc, the list of reasons, I am sure, would be endless and often surprising. People from all walks of life can end up this way, I sure hope that I will never have the misfortune to be in that position.

by **lightning** on Sat Dec 08, 2012 10:49 pm

the flute player could be called "The king and I" you can almost hear the black guy saying "sounds good man"
apparition works for me, and I really like interview, getting some good stuff here!!

Chris - I like the flute player image as well (nicely put together elements) and I really like the job interview (it's got a great feel to it).

Rooz wrote:who ever thought id be glad to see a cloudy monday

It's funny but so true - I also look forward to those nice overcast days when shooting street in the city - in fact I now want some rainy days (not when I'm shooting but ideally earlier on in the day so the pavement is all wet)
