I only spoke a few sentences to this Buoy and Gull at the OG boards North End. I said, “May I take your picture?” They agreed without hesitation.
I liked their look. They seemed different and interesting. What were they discussing?
I gave them a BF card and told them to send me an email address and I could send them a photo, But so far–no response.
For street photographers there has to be some sort of vibe or meaning in a subject that draws the cameraman to them. The best such images tell a story, and that is where photojournalism comes in. But if an element of visual beauty also is present, well that is best; and then mix in a l little music. And you wind up with the equivalent of Mom’s chicken soup.
But for me I am not interested in journalism unless 4 Jews for Jesus are blowing shofars in front of the Youth Temple. Which did actually happen. From a musical point of view, one is better than 4.
