A bonus to spiral binding photographs in book form is that they can be unbound at any time and the individual pages – which are original photographs and can be displayed in an exhibit.

A color print will fade away in the light – they are made for dark storage.. Never display your original irreplaceable color photos for long periods. You display color copy facsimiles – not the origin
A common trait with the fondlers is this…they can never produce anything worthwhile with what they got. They always blame their equipment and never themselves.
A constantly busy mind cannot heal itself.

As a social doc photog I generally don’t set out to stage extreme photo I just document what I find naturally occurring in our world.
As a social documentary photographer my preferred method of operation was to ‘Meet on the street…shoot at the home.
As a street photog we don't have the luxury of retaking missed shots.
As I finish up my book project for The Americans…60 years after Frank – I am amazed how much things have changed in 60 years.
As I will tell you time and again…it is the photographer and not the camera!
As long as the outcome is uncertain and decisions have to be made – there is art in the process – if photography was not an art then one photograph would be as good as the next.
As long as you're curious about it…you know – that is when life is interesting…you're curious…yea.
As someone in their 60's I can't wrap my head around a realistic answer as a 12 year old.
As such – that special 'anal aspect' the street photog must posses can be summed up in the vernacular thusly…success on the street sometimes involves being an asshole.
As the old saying goes…if I knew how to take great photos I'd do it every time.
As the photo forum snobs run all their pet prejudices through their head the photo op evaporates.
As the population swells – robots take the jobs – housing and the cost of living skyrocket…the proverbial witing is on the wall.
As time marches on you have to keep up with it or be left in the dust.
As Winogrand fell farther behind in the criticism of his own work his technique deteriorated.

From developing his prints in hot chemicals to melt the emulsion to jacking off on his photos for his Spermanko series. The creative genius of Araki never ceases to amaze me
From guns to batons to magnum 4 oz. cans of pepper spray…I'm armed for answering a wide range of threats with self-defense actions.
From my earliest beginnings in photography to current times I’ve been censored.

Hatred for HDR – circular fisheyes – selective color – cliché's – blah blah blah. It is a common thread among the camera fondling photo forum crowd…putting down others so they can massage their ego
Have you worked out any system that simplifies and speeds the operation of many modern digital cameras that you could recommend to others?
Having 'brain smarts' is great – but in the line of street and doc photography – overthinking and 'analysis paralysis' can hinder you getting the shot.
Having skills for shooting from the hip or 'point shooting' with your gun is important.

He had been all around the world, and even had a shrunken head hanging in his window.

He is a computer addict.
He said I should still be courteous and ask first.
He showed me…I shot it.
He spent a lot of time trying to tear me down.
He wasn't shooting much – maybe a roll of film every few months and was losing interest in photography.

Hungry for Lust
Hyper-Real HDR Street Photography
Hyper-Real HDR…going against the (snobbery) grain.
I always like to take what they hate and make something great of it.
I always like to turn around a corner. Because there is always something around that corner.
I always tell people…If you don't like my photos – go shoot your own goddamn photos.
I am not going to feed you a lot of bullshit in my posts I’ve got nothing to sell you no agenda to push.
I am not looking for your comments – likes – thumbs up or ego stroking – I am only looking to display my work…nothing else.
I am taking the month of June to write about my quest for a Guggenheim.
I am upfront with ALL of my photos and stand behind them…I got nothing to hide.
I an not into the film process any longer – I just want the iconic photo and will go to any means to get it.
I apply what talent I have to what I can do well. I'd advise the same to you.
I bought a used $150 laptop that I use for email and web surfing of suspected virus sites
I bought into the hype.
I broke with tradition and generally accepted convention.
I can afford wasting time shooting stuff that will go nowhere-just no time to fool around.
I can only hope he was more positive with his students
I can't help but wonder what America will look like…100 years after Frank.
I can't tell you how many times I've had problems -threats and actual attacks for having a big cam in my hand.
I can't toot my horn too loud
I cannot bring myself to believe that any human being lives who would do me any harm.
I could have been an asshole – squatted down – shot him and walked off without a payment. But is it worth being an asshole for a lousy buck?
I could never shoot anything like this with the M43.
I didn't set out to break records- my goal with museum placements was simply to put my photography to work and archive it.
I didn’t tell the curator the story behind it.
I don't approach any of my reviews as a fanboy or camera fondler.
I don't interview the people I shoot and almost never talk to them. As such – any description I give to my photos is pure speculation. I interpret it the best I can – but I may be wrong.
I don't know if any of these are any good…you pick
I don't know whether this higher suicide rate has something to do with the creative brain- a life of rejection and criticism or financial insecurity. But artists have to be aware of this tendency.
I don't like to spend much time on anything that takes me away from my work.
I don't like wide-angle distortion.
I don't like your photo because it leaves nothing for the imagination.
I don't make everything black and white nor do I make everything color. I let the image speak to me and go with the treatment I think is best.
I don't pick the winners or hand out the money.
I don't pretend to be the last word on photo criticism.
I don't pretend to have the answers. All I can do is document the world during my stay on earth.
I don't think Ansel would have approved of all the darkroom masturbation Johnny does with his film.
I don't want to bother people. I feel like a dude with a camera snapping photos of you could be a very unwelcome intrusion.
I don't want to get too close or disturb people.
I don’t do much with ‘mental masturbation’ photography.
I don’t give a shit. I’m not interested in money or fame. I’m not looking for that anymore.
I don’t think an artist can ever be happy
I feel like a lot of street photography is really… contrived?
I feel weak
I feel weak and F*** depressed.
I felt bad for these girls. The one girl was crying
I find more and more people are requesting $ for photo access.
I find my self picking up my camera less and less as time goes on.
I first learned about Hyper-Real / Painterly HDR from Les Krims.
I get so sick of the digital photogs yelling foul
I got 6 virus emails last week all from a recognized email address
I grabbed a quick candid shot while walking by.
I guess it helps boost their self-esteem by making them feel how superior they are to everyone else.
I had heard that fracking is causing water to become radioactive in some areas so I have tested some of the water samples for radioactivity.
I had looked through many hundred thousand photos from that era and have never found a photo of Di Prima except on one very rare occasion.
I had spent a few days in Manhattan shooting for 7 book projects
I had to laugh at reading some crap written by Eric Kim.
I have a number of projects that I just shoot 'off the cuff.'
I have a number of projects that I shoot ‘off the cuff’ to keep me pressing the button through dry spells.
I have always been self-funded with my photography. Since I'm not rich, being on a perpetual budget and cutting expenses to the bone is nothing new for me.
I have had numerous circumstances where I had to reference the original files on the cards. If I didn't save the cards I would have not had the image.
I have more IR images that are marinating a la’ Eric Kim style. I’m letting them ‘age’ cause I’m hoping my bad photos will somehow magically look better later on!
I have spots on my negatives do I have a problem with my water
I have zero interest in classic nudes.
I hold back nothing
I just want the iconic photo and will go to any means to get it.
I like photographs that make me think – search for clues and speculate – they stay in the memory much longer than pretty pictures.
I live very fugally and if I have enough money to just get by and still be able to do my work I am happy.
I look at it as a distraction and have a hard time forcing myself to do things I don't want to do…and playing accountant is top on the 'not interested in' list.
I love mankind. It’s people I can’t stand
I may have been the first to coin the term 'camera fondler' but it is NO joke.

I met the ‘Captain’ on Wall Street in downtown L.A. 40 years ago.
I met the ‘Captain’ on Wall Street in downtown L.A. almost 40 years ago.
I never used to name my photos until I started to deal with museums.
I prefer to not shit where I eat
I prefer to shoot right up in people's faces…
I prowled the streets all day feeling very sprung-up and ready to pounce, determined to ‘trap’ life – to preserve life in the act of living.”
I put my work is in trying to be the least amount of an asshole necessary to get the great candid shot.
I read that in 2016 it is estimated that there will be 2 billion cell phone cams worldwide.
I select Kimberly…TaskRabbit'er
I shot it 43 years ago when I was 19 or 20 with a beat up Hasselblad SWC.
I shot most of these photos when I was 17 to 19 years old
I shot next photo unframed-with my hands over my head-with people in front of me. Get it right in-camera? Only in your fantasy world camera fondlers.
I sometimes see silver gelatin or inkjet prints listed for $5 on eBay and not selling.
I started out in earnest in January of 2013 with museum placements. Within 1-1/2 years I had placed about 6000 prints with 91 public institutions.
I still do the best I can to be a witness to life…and document it.
I suspect as long as the electric is on – things wont change
I think the goal of insurance companies is to sell you insurance you can not use unless your dying or very sick.
I thought I’d share with you something that is on the verge of extinction…the textured roof.
I took to street and doc photography like a fat kid eating pizza – just devouring it and never looked back.
I tried to join a local shutterbug club but they didn't like my work.
I tried to join a local shutterbug club but was discouraged to join.
I try to be a balanced social documentary photographer. I can't afford to concentrate just on the pretty or just on the ugly aspects of society.
I understand most of my photos-but not all of them.
I use the 'gimmicky' circular fisheye lens every chance I get!
I used a YouTube audio converter and it would give you ransomware infection when you would click on the wrong popup.
I used to email the big name photogs for advice, but alas, they all declined to reply.
I usually trash everything that is not a keeper.
I want to kill myself
I was at a party hosted by Mike Busey.
I was just out and about taking a walk with my infrared flash and they were just sitting ducks for my trigger finger.
I was shooting in Hoboken and a wedding photog chewed me out for not asking before I shot him and his assistant and his model / bride
I went out for 10 minutes to test a used camera at lunchtime…now this is in a few museums' collections.
I will tell you time and again…it is the photographer and not the camera!
I wind up taking pictures of birds eating trash.
I wonder what America will look like…100 years after Frank?
I wont be reapplying for a Guggenheim
I would meet people that interested me on the street or otherwise and then set out to photograph them at their homes.
I would never know what I would find at their home.
I would only be shooting them for $ – I'd be an artists whore doing crap I don't want to do just for the $.
I would tell the stingy – anal photogs to be more worried about their photos dying with them than being worried that their photos are being enjoyed by others.
I'd advise any bored photog to find a project and devote themselves to it.
I'd advise you to solicit online or f2f portfolio reviews from past Guggenheim Fellows for the development of your work examples portfolio to give you the best chance at success.
I'd like to be an artist that can draw…but I can't.
I'm effectively shut down. They are self-sufficient and don't need me.
I'm giving up photography.
I'm glad to see HDR becoming more mainstream every day that goes by.
I'm having trouble getting started.
I'm interested in the iconic photo…plain and simple. Get it any way you can!
I'm just not confident
I'm not a big fan of Winogrand and his crooked jumbled up confused style.
I'm not much of a Winogrand fan.
I'm sorry, but there is just nice way to put it. It is just sickening the amount of photo ops that are presented to the photog in NYC for any photog interested in people.
I'm working as hard as I can and can't get ahead.
I've been thrown off of some forums just for using the words 'anal photog.'
I've ended up with thousands of dollars of useless paper over the years.
I've fade tested dye transfer prints from 1950's to 1970's vintage and the test results are the same…very poor dye stability to light.
I've had to pay a few people for access
I've looked at your Flickr portfolio. You have the ability to do good street work – but you lack balls. Your balls are the size of peas. To do good street work you need balls the size of oranges…bal
I've lost all faith in myself
I've seen some very shitty work out there priced in the thousands of dollars just because of a name and signature.
I've slept on the subway and never had a problem or had a cop bother me.
I've tested various binding methods for my artists' books and I settled on spiral binding.
I've used both of these cams extensively.
I’d never shoot digital. If and when film becomes unavailable I will give up photography.
I’m an old film photog and don’t know how to use Photoshop, I’m strictly Lightroom, so went old school with the cutouts.
I’m not a big fan of grunge HDR
I’m not fucking doing this anymore.
I’m not pretending to be a ‘rumor mill’ that is secretly funded by the camera companies.
I’ve got nothing to sell you – no agenda to push – so I am not going to feed you a lot of bullshit.

If $31 for the subway is beyond your budget then you can always panhandle swipes from arriving passengers.
If a curator looks up your name you don't want them to see your non-professional work that you may be ashamed of.
If a girl was offering free touches of her delectable's…she would not have to ask a guy twice.
If all things are equal, you can shoot good photography with most any cam out their nowadays.
If freezing time is in your blood being a do-gooder or making $ does not matter.
If I can avoid it I don’t like talking to people.
If I do any more writing I may catch a case of Sontagitis!
If I listened to the critics…I’d get nowhere.
If I lived there I'd prob be homeless.
If I start fiddling with them I can't figure out how to get them back to a usable mode a lot of the time.
If I wanted to shoot the garden variety camera fondler photos on the photo forums I could shoot day and night 7 days a week.
If it does not fit – you must acquit
If it is legal to shoot and I like it…I shoot it.
If it is legal, shoot what you like. Forget the critics that will try to tear you down…march to your OWN beat or you will have to shoot what the CRITICS browbeat you to shoot.
If perchance you do not have any candid skills and you do not have the personality to embed yourself with your subjects – there is one last hope for you.
If photography was not an art, then one photograph would be as good as the next.
If rejection is debilitating to you – you may want to pick a different field to work in than museums placements.
If shit was Shinola you wouldn't have to buy shoe polish" (That was back in the day when Shinola made shoe polish!)
If the camera fondlers spent less time fingering their cams and getting hard-ons they would know there is a long -long history of doctoring news photos.
If the camera fondling wedding photog was a street shooter he would have known this.
If the thieves had sent just 1 email they would have hooked me.
If they want to improve the Leica make the buffer FAST – use better sensors – cut the price down by 75% by making them in Japan. But other than that Leica is pretty perfect as-is.
If they were doc / street photogs they would know better.

If we do our art for love and for the therapy of making sense of our world – we are never disappointed.

If you are rejected realize that it is a great honor just to be asked to present a portfolio to the Foundation.
If you are serious about bringing home the iconic shot in our fast paced world – the skill of shooting sans viewfinder is a must.
If you can read this the bitch fell off
if you do your art for love…you will never be disappointed.
If you don't have balls of kryptonite
If you don't have focused portfolios – make them.
If you don't have the basics down…shoot your TV screen.
If you don't have the basics down…shoot your TV screen. Although there comes a time when we all have to put priciples into practice
If you don't like what you see…change your M.O.
If you find yourself drowning in lots of junk photos that clutter up your life – cut back and be very choosy how you spend yourself if you want to get ahead.
If you have a dream…pursue it to the fullest!
if you have stealth skills you will be able to drop all that crap renting space in your head and concentrate on the photo.
If you not doing extreme work – you're not doing much nowadays.
If you read the camera fondler’s threads on the forums they are always about – What did you buy? Why don’t they write about – What did you shoot?
If you solicit museums to purchase or accept your work as donations – don't feel bad if you get rejected.
If you think I’m tough on the camera fondlers…your lucky I’m not Araki.
If you try different extremes you can see what works best for your own abilities through practical application of real life testing and not just guessing.
If you want to avoid confrontation.
If you want to be a good documentary photog…learn to divorce your prejudices from your work.
If you want to go to Brooklyn to expand your territory – walk across the picturesque Brooklyn Bridge. You will have photo ops for the entire bridge walk.
If you wish to improve your photos do more button pushing and less gear fondling.
If you would not go someplace without a gun-then don't go there with a gun-you're just looking for a gunfight.
If you're not doing something different…you're not doing anything.
If you're out there shooting things will happen for you If your not out there you'll only hear about it.
If you're too shy to ask for food, you can pick up lots of disposed food at night once the shops close down.
If your not a camera fondler – you don't need simplified manual controls – then I'd tell you to buy something other than a Leica.
If your serious about getting ahead only have your best work connected with your name.
If your serious…don’t make the mistake that many photographers do by diluting a portfolio with lots of garbage and personal photos.
Ignore rejection and move on. The life of an artist is chock full of rejection…so get used to it.

Many of us are already drinking recycled toilet water.
Many people are having a tough time getting by in today's high priced world and a little extra money helps buy some essentials.
Many people have to make their home on the street. This fellow died 40+ years ago. Let me honor his memory here…
Many photogs have an unrealistic notion of how much their photography is worth.
Many times the only thing holding you back from getting that iconic shot is your ego, fear and your pet prejudices.

Never crop your photos. If you have to crop a photo it wasn’t meant to be taken.
Never, ever display your original irreplaceable color photos for long periods. They are just meant to be taken out and looked at once in a while. You display color copy facsimiles – not the originals.

There comes a time when we all have to put priciples into practice.
There is a big difference between a born bohemian and a boho chic bohemian…one is naturally occurring, the other one is a phony.
There is a lot of prejudice against circular fisheyes, selective color and hyper real HDR. I could have left it out and submitted a plain Jane portfolio – but I felt I should submit examples of what I
There is a lot of stress being an artist – artists have a higher than average suicide rate than other professions.
There is a tool you can cultivate if you don't have balls of kryptonite.
There is always plenty of time to delete at home…press the button!
There is no difference in the genders…they both can produce equally well.
There is no law that says we have to do our art as a profession.
There is no magic bullet to success when it comes to street work.
There is no telling if it is Di Prima or not
There is no telling if it is Di Prima or not – but I lean in the direction of it being Di Prima.
There is no telling which infrared shots are candid and which are staged when it comes to Weegee.
There is nothing better than going to people that have been successful in the past for help.
There is tremendous enjoyment when you can become settled and satisfied with your gear and are free to just produce iconic work.
There was this camera fondler on one of the photo forums wrote that he could not practice street photography until he could do some traveling on vacation.
These are not the type of photos you can get by pretending to fiddle with adjusting your camera and by playing dumb.
These were no ordinary snapshots either.
They are all just tools that produce photographs for me…it is the photographer and not the camera.
They are something you would find on your average photo forum and nothing special.
They even invented a term to justify his crappy photography…they call it 'snapshot aesthetics.'
they find thousands of $ in deductibles and copay unfavorable for day to day needs.
They live fugally, cut expenses to the bone to get by so they can do their art.
They must be feeling pretty dejected at the NRA.
They must only want ass kissing ‘yes men’ and ‘fan boys’ at DP.
They propagate the wrong ways to their devotees that don't know anything and pretty soon marinating your photos becomes the thing to do.
They smack of "Wow… look at me – I just took a photo of a stranger on the street!"
They think they know everything under the sun with all aspects of photography and they don't know their ass from the proverbial hole in the ground.
They were not even willing to donate $50 to the project.
things wont change
Think only of cutting.

This infrared flash photo from my artists' book Piercing Darkness illustrates this diversity in thought between men and women.
This is a big reason so many of you produce nothing memorable when it comes to street work….you overthink your shots.
This is accomplished through honing my skills to be the best candid photographer that I can be.
This is an area of photography where the lady photogs have a big advantage over men.
This is as anal as I like to get with studio work.
This is how things go nowadays with the camera fondling photo forum street posers.
This is what one camera fondler on the photo forums wanted to do

This tendency to concentrate on one's art to the exclusion of almost everything else is a common one for those truly dedicated to their work.
This was a one shot wonder.
This was gone in 2 seconds. A landscaper would not have time to remove his lens cap and fart. That is street photography at its finest…even if on grass and no people are in the shot.
This was shot with a Hasselblad Super Wide C.
This was the foundation of all the LSD art of the 60’s….the ability to expand our mind and put us on a different wavelength.

Unless the photog is a big name – there is not much demand for prints.
Unless the photos is a crime scene photo or the change makes a material effect on the honesty of the photo…IT DOES NOT MATTER!

We all have to decide how much of ourselves to give to our art.
We are all free to like whomever we choose.
We are all sisters and brothers of one family…we freeze time.
We can define art as any creative effort by a human, animal or nature that humans distinguish as noteworthy.
We can learn an important lesson from Josef Koudleka
We can see this the question of ‘art and specialization’ come to play with a studio photographer tying to be a street photographer or a street photographer trying to be a studio photographer.
we cannot own a gun for self-defense …were defenseless' Aust. Senator Leyonhjelm
We each express what is in us through our art.
We just try and do the best we can…in the blink of an eye it can be gone.
we know photography is our life blood and as long as we can keep pressing the button and freeze time – we fell the better for it.
We Know Time
We should always remember that the non-photographers intellectual's pride is based in ego…they are the ones that know everything and can do nothing when it comes to photography.
We should remember their art is not under the direction of our likes – it is their art and not ours.

When did fashion photography become street photography?
When history must distill what defines underground comix into one creative genius that is the alpha and the omega of that genre…there can be no argument-dispute or question…that name is CRUMB!
When I go out to shoot street I seldom have an agenda
When I see art I feel panic.
When I was acquiring photographs for my archival collection of found photography I would sometimes look through 40000 to 50000 snapshots in a month.
When I was emptying the trash can in my darkroom later that week – I noticed the print of the coat hanger had become solarized.
When I was first starting out in the early 70's I wanted to be a fashion / studio photog. Eventually it sunk in I had no talent in that area – all my talent was in documentary / street photography.

When you are shopping for your IR flash – pay attention to the sound it makes when firing and recycling.
When you experiment you will find the experiments either make things better or worse – so one has to just try different extremes and see what works best for your own abilities.
When you take both of these 'photo wizards' and mix them together…they don't have the talent that Cartier-Bresson had in his left testicle.
When you watch TV practice shooting the screen. It is a great exercise for timing – composition – fast shooting and learning the controls.
When your learning and growing OK shoot as much as you can. But if you want to move on to bigger things be careful what you point your cam at.
When your life is at stake you must meet a serious attack with enough force for it to be stopped…quickly and permanently.
Where I put my work is in trying to be the least amount of an asshole necessary to get the great candid shot
Where will you get your water from in a disaster
Whether success or failure – you just keep moving on to the next project.
Whether you call it camera fetishism or camera fondling…it is all the same disease.
While acquiring photos for my artists' book series Girls of the Beat Generation I had looked through many hundred thousand photos from that era.
While I didn't try to anally follow in the footsteps of Frank – if I was already in the area – I hit a few of his old haunts.
While most DUO papers do a decent job with the image – they all do not do a good job in making a flat book.

Why not socialized healthcare in the US?

With fast street shooting – you turn left it is one exposure, turn right it is another. We have to split the difference many times.

With the high cost of living I’m surprised there are not a lot more homeless people in the US.
Within the realm of street photography there is a notion of ‘imperfect perfection.’
Without something to focus on they are just a mish-mash of strangers on the street.

You don't want to disturb people??? Well don't do street photography.
