KM-25 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share #21 Posted June 4, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Oh man, this has some interesting response, LOL! Thanks for the positive reference to my work, this project is really a path of growth for me. But Gilden's work, his approach, as one person said, it is what it is. When I first saw that video, I burst out laughing. I thought his actions were outrageous, and I was a bit put off but mostly entertained. But then I started to see who Gilden really is. He is a kind of street performer with a camera. When he opens his "Jack-in-The-Box" of photography on you, off you go into another episode of life as a strange photographer whisks you into his scene. His performance nets him the result. In other words, what he gets is a genuine reaction to his theatrics. Gilden's style of street is different than a more voyeuristic approach in that he is literally doing the same thing as any people photographer would do, but he prefers to get an honest photo of his subjects under different circumstances.....and he is part of those circumstances. Like I said before, it is not my style but it is a real style in that his photos are "that" reality. I get him, and I still think it is kind of hilarious, what he does.

KM-25 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share #22 Posted June 4, 2009 For a wedding, well, skin tone priority, right? Kodachrome warm is a dream on skin. So because you are trending warm, I would think either film would be good as filtration might enter the equation at some point anyway. In other words, any significant color cast is going to easily overpower the subtle difference in color between PKR and KR. I never shoot PKR and to be honest, I have not even been inclined to do so because of the satisfaction I get with regular KR. But be aware, this is not Velvia. If your light is flat, your photo will be flat. If you have not shot it before or it has been a really long time, I would highly suggest testing a couple rolls out before you send it on a mission. The last one is the winner... Awesome! Quick question, I want to shoot some Kodachrome in a fancy Hamptons wedding I have coming up but don't know whether to use regular or professional... Is it all Marketing bs or should I really care? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesop Posted June 5, 2009 Share #23 Posted June 5, 2009 ...intrusive. Aggressive. Disrespectful. Selfish. Uncouth. Self-centred. Plain rude. Me, me, me. And yet some of us find it acceptable to behave in such a manner in order to get "the shot". I hope for his sake that he never takes it upon himself to jump me for the sake of a shot. Thankfully, there are alternatives - real productive street photographers (of style and substance) that one can look up to. The sort that understand and have regard for their subjects and their craft. The sort that do not wantonly ambush members of the public for the sole purpose of making money. Gilden's so-called "style" should not be encouraged, irrespective of results. My point of view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iansky Posted June 5, 2009 Share #24 Posted June 5, 2009 Nice first image of a true "Master Photographer" and avid M user. I have never been a fan of the fill flash ghost image street work (my personal opinion) - I prefer the strong clear image that captures the character rather than one that implies movement through double image. Other than my personal preferences, a great capture of a great man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
