im working on a project where i take pictures of pay-by-the-hour motels in the south bronx. they are pretty skeevy and it won't be that long before they are gentrified out of existence.
here are seven photos from my first roll. lmk what are ur thoughts :^)
and apollogie for image quality, i;m out of town without access to a hq scanner right now so these are just shitty iphone photos of prints.
(olympus pen W, tx pushed to 1600, ilford fb glossy)

So, a confirmed daido copycat, gear and all.
Disgusting pseud.
>seems legit
While we wait for world famous jap photographer to post here these will do fine

dude u should try out the Pen cams instead of being so upsset, they are fantastic. great lens, ultra bare-bones, extremely low profile, 72 shots per roll, fits in your pocket. i used a Pen S for a couple years before I got the W, and it's also a great cam (and can be had for pretty cheap). yoshihisa maitani knows his shit.
This thread offends me greatly.

>dude u
No, not me. We are talking about you. Your work is still in cosplay stage. You have the camera, the pushed film, the contrasty grainy aesthetic, the gritty subject, the snapshit approach, yet all of this falls flat because it feels void of content and emotion. I cant see your personal quirks here, i dont see your style, i dont see your interests at play. Cant see your individuality in those photos. All i see is someone hiding in a facade that tries to be authentic, but the more he tries, the phonier it all looks.

you are mean buddy
actually, i think those are some legitimate points to make. but i'm not emulating any one person - i like some of the provoke guys but i'm also heavily influenced by a lot of other photographers and writers. moriyama (who btw i'm not a big fan of, even among the provoke set - i don't like diaristic stuff and his work seems thoughtless, especially recent shit) doesn't have a monopoly on contrast and grain. klein? frank? friedlander?
chill out my man.

Damn, sir.

Would be cooler if you had people in them as subjects, would make the composition more interesting

>lacks emotion
That's like the "haven't got anything to say but must try to sound objective" tier of critique, only you're criticising a lack of your own emotional response -- i.e. a subjective thing. For your regular dose of social porn, go read the Daily Mail or something.
