Posted by jaapv,

This thread is suffering from overposting by a few members; I have hidden some posts. It is a an unwritten convention that we leave space for other participants. The reason is twofold: Overposting drowns out the other posts and, as important, if one floods a thread, the viewers lose interest and won't even look at those posts any more. It is equivalent to hogging a conversation. So: Please don't make endless posts with a large number of images, they are deadly boring, and don't po

I wander around my home city of Glasgow a fair bit. I always have either my Leica M Monochrom mk1, or an analogue M loaded with black and white film with me. I think that finding interesting photograp

The conundrum of ongoing chaos, the narrative interrupted in a noir proscenium. Lambda’s theatre. Words don’t work here, but the picture speaks. There is the poetry of conflict in this rooftop shadow play. Here, the puzzle of a visual vertigo. The guard rail, the sky, the truncated shadows on the wall help elucidate the men’s action. Still, the vein of ambiguity. The vignette within the dark vignette, or is it the dark vignette within the vignette? What is revealing about the play of these shadows? The cinéma vérité of the slipping horizon. Dark textures, textures of the dark. Documentation. Is it a sky or a backdrop? The way you prospect the visual experience with an ice pick for subtext. Passports stamped at the border; no speaking, only blinking. Gerhard Richter says about his work that “the paintings do what they want. I planned something totally different.“

 

Photography is another way of thinking. It doesn’t have to do with words, even though there are photographs with words that curiously have less to do with the words and more to do with irony. However, in Lambda’s theatre, a fair question might be at what point in the photograph do you meet yourself? What is at risk?

ernest,

 

I am very glad about every comment!!!

 

I like a short one (mine are also very short most of the time ;) ) 
but if someone took so much time
and such a close look at the picture, that´s special and  always a highlight.
 
very interesting questions, interpretations, thinking approachs and recognition. 
 
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback
in fact ,it feels  a bit like an  award for the work  :)

Homage to Lambda.  Brilliant work, my friend.  

Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Fuck the midtones!

Frank - this kind of creeps me out - though in a good way.

Hi Phil- I came across the couple at a Wegmanns grocery store and politely asked if I could take a snapshot. It was a supprisingly smooth encounter and both seemed easy and relaxed.

 

Thanks for commenting. I feel the same!

Every time I look in, there is a slew of superb and thought-provoking images. Nice work, all. Posting an old one, from January 2016. Glassford Street, in Glasgow - Leica M2, 28mm Summicron ASPH mk1, Ilford HP5 pushed to 800 ISO.

 

Best wishes all

I think the great thing about this excellent picture, Frank, is that it has been made in a way that is sympathetic to the character of the people photographed, or at least it seems so.

Thank you Phil. I work at avoiding mere shock value. I'm conscious of the integrity reflected by choices that feel right. Whether I ' stay invisible or simply request a snap shot! Thanks again for your input.....

There are some incredibly inspiring photographs in this thread.  I love the dark,  gritty monochrome images,  they are very  powerful.

As a relatively new photographer I find myself being torn as to a "style" to pursue so my photography is all over the place.  I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing.  I adore Bill Brandt, but then Ernst Haas and Saul Leiter speak to me as well.

 

I have only had my M10 for just over two weeks now and I am very happy to receive constructive criticism on my modest images.

All shot with M10 and 50 Cron.
