Portraits

Montreal, 2012

Photographing people

I find taking pictures of people endlessly fascinating, perhaps because people are themselves that way. But that doesn’t mean that things are always straightforward. I plan on writing in the blog about changes in the concept of personal privacy and how that affects photography, especially what’s often called “street” photography. I think these changes are a two-edged sword and worth talking about. Regardless, this is a small collection of favored photographs of people. >gallery


 

Social documentary photography

Damascus street, 2001

Social Documentary Photography

Since about 1967  I’ve taken photographs of people acting in relationship to others. By that I don’t mean only groups of people doing things – it can also be individuals who act as part of something larger. This particular gallery is about people doing business and manner that it’s done. The gallery starts photographs of small businesses and then moves through change and into the present with photos of markets in different countries. (Titles can be turned on or off by pressing the “i” buton)

Ninety-one sepia photographs reproduced with an introduction by Teju Cole, essays by Beth Adams, Hoyt Alverson, and Steven Tozer, and a preface by the photographer.
