01/02/2002 Entry: "time spent"
"I am old-fashioned enough, to be fascinated with the idea of trying to capture many people talking on cell-phones at the same time, and this was a bonanza for me. I had the 50mm on the M6, and shot half a roll of film of people on cell-phones trying to figure out how they would get to work. It is the equivalent of a nature photographer who stumbles across a herd of grazing Zebra who have just been frightened by the scent of some predator and are about to take off at a gallop. For me, the lesson is always the same, no matter where you're going, have a camera with you. In New York, there is almost always something worth shooting."Wow, my big plans for skateboarding tonight and reading magazines at the book store were completely scrapped, after I found Dave Beckerman's site. He has some wonderful pictures, but what has kept me on his site for the last 2 hours is his Day Book, simply an online journal of his working with photography, trying to sell his prints, and generally involved in the day-to-day work of life as he begins to make a living off of photography.
