Samaritans.

I don't know where to start. It could be long.

Obviously, what you are looking at is a man laying on the ground, as a person walks by.

I haven't introduced you guys yet to this series of photos I have been building. It's a series of photos that I've taken of people I walk behind as I am out shooting street. I don't know, it's sort of my form of souveneirs.

I saw this guy (the one walking.) He was walking across the street from me, then he made a hard left down a street just in front of me and I picked up the pace to get closer. Something to add to my walk behind series.

It's stuff like this that just unfolds before your eyes.

I noticed a man laying on the ground, and thought that it would be powerful enough to capture the scene as this man walks by.

I just realized now how presumptious it was of me to assume that he wouldn't do anything except walk by, but I imagine you couldn't expect much more of someone.

I stoped, and I watched. He wasn't breathing.

I made a phone call. Something along the lines of: Uhmm, yeah, uh, there's a dead guy on the sidewalk here, come pick him up.

I waited, I stood there, and took a photo of each person that walked by him without looking or seeming to give a shit.

At one point a lady walked by and started to bust out laughing, until she looked up and saw me taking her photo. She couldn't look at me, as she covered her face and passed.

I waited 15 minutes. I was hoping he'd spring to life and grab their ankles as they walked by, something like candid camera. It never happened.

It started to rain, so I made another call, this time saying: Please come quickly, there's a white man having a heart attack here.

I walked away with some kind of sense of clarity.

It's interesting, these kinds of things, I can never expect to know how to feel. It wasn't sad, to me, it wasn't disgusting, like some people might think when they see soemone dead. It was just, someone, on the sidewalk, who clearly died alone.

He doesn't have anything to worry about anymore.

The world chewed him up and spat him out.

I don't know how any of you will react to something like this. Quite frankly I don't care.

Im not putting Mature content on this. Anyone can turn on CNN or open a news paper, or fucking walk by this scene, and there's no need for mature content stickers. Let the administration put it on themselves, for all I care. I think reality is something you should not be able to escape.

And thank you for looking and reading.

"What motivated me?"

To take a photo of a scene, how I saw it to be. To present reality through my lense. The motivation of any young aspiring photojounrnalist; "to change the world".

Infos

Canon AE-1 ~ Canon 50mm 1.4 S.S.C. @ F/7 ~ 1/250 sec ~ Kodak 160NC three years expired

Why I chose 160NC? Because it was in my camera and I got it for cheap (free from craigslist) and I wasn't about to switch film while on the fly with a scene like this about to evaporate before my eyes.

Why I chose 1/250 @ F/7? well, with the AE-1, you select the shutter speed, and it selects the corresponding aperture for the correct exposure, so I selected 1/250 to slow the shutter a little (instead of 1/500 ot 1/1000) in order to get a smalled aperture, and a little bit more of a greater depth of field. You might be thinking F/7 is an odd aperture, for the sake of being completely acurate, that's what it was, because of the AE-1's auto aperture program nature.

Photoshop: +10 contrast. That's all.

Many Thanks

I'd like to thank each and every one of you who took the time to look at this and read the description.

It is truely humbling to have a photo which I took and means so much to me...to have it reach out and touch, open eyes, wake up, sober, provoke thought in poeple.

Thank you for the comments. I will not respond to many. I feel that what needs to be said has already been said here in the description. I wiould like to let you know I read every single one though.

Walking Away

From the things I adore
Telling the truth
For once I'm sure
It's always a sign

night walking past day

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 10:41:57 PST

night walks past day
but they never say hello
still strangers after all these years
just carrying on about their business
without so much as a nod of recognition
or even a glance of eye
focussed on the blinkered everyday path
i guess it is for the best
i can't imagine how it would be
if they walked together, side by side
duty is a master that allows no friends
no deviation, no mind, no matter
it's not for the feint of heart
not for the human
not for the weak, or the sick, or the lonely
another day passes by
say hello, smile as it passes
even if it doesn't smile back
try again tomorrow

Walking in My Neighbourhood

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:11:42 PDT

FULL TITLE: "Photographed While I Was Walking in My Neighbourhood"

IF you know him, that might sound familiar!

This title is a quote by =MagePrydain who I am also turning right around and dedicating this photo to!

This image is dedicated to my dear and loong time friend on dA, David =MagePrydain

I have been waiting for quite a while to gift this image to him. I took this photo especially for him, a while back, and then realized that he was off dA, and I checked, and he was still away...

... and now I'm VERY happy to WELCOME BACK DAVID!!
It's just not the same without him.

David was about the first person I met on dA, and he gave me encouragement, which I know is still instrumental to one of the reasons that I even keep on keepin' on even now both here on dA and with Tea Photography.

Plus, his photography is just STUNNING, and how he ever can keep up with his incessant gift-giving, I will never ever know! I could never keep up with a birthday list that large, especially after being away for a while, but he manages it.

That's where I get his FAMOUS quote, "Photographed while I was walking in my neighbourhood" because it's on practically ALL his precious deviations! And I LOVE it!

David always amazes me. He's really a super person!

Please DO visit him, but here are a few of his lovely works:

~~~~~~~~~

^{[NOTE: I just wanted to say, in advance, how especially grateful for anyone's I may receive for this image. I am honoured that you would enjoy or think well enough of my work here, to it. So I thank you profusely, and from the bottom of my heart . And because I do realize time constraints all too well, I understand, if you are unable to also leave a comment. However, whichever you may do, [or even both! ] I genuinely appreciate it beyond measure. I need you to know this now, in case I'm not capable of doing individual thank-you's for 's, which I've not been capable, or in case I cannot respond to each comment, either. Thanks for understanding.
And even if you just came to view! I am also very HAPPY for this! ]}

The Passenger

Mon, 29 Jan 2007 10:18:54 PST

I was walking around at the trainstation in Aarhus, Denmark, looking through the windows of the trains when I saw a man with a foreign look, sitting there, staring out the window. I was about to put my camera to my eye when he suddenly looked at me, and I turned around and walked a bit away.

I looked at the train departure time, and it said 4:17. It was 4:15.

I quickly found out which way the train was going, and got a couple of carts ahead and waited.

Suddenly, the whistle blew, and the carts began moving. I set my focuspoint to the far left, put the camera to my eye and waited for one particular face to move into the frame.

That face.

Walking Down The Street II

_{Walking Down The Street
Street Photography from Berlin

This is my degree project for this year of studying Photography at Västra Nylands Folkhögskola.

Walking Down The Street is a street photography series from Berlin.
Street photography is all about capturing the moment. Its about capturing situations and interesting people.
Its that special moment that catches your eye and makes you lift up your camera to take a picture.
You only have to open your eyes to find all the wonderful and interesting people around you. They are everywhere.

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll
Got to do my best to please her, just 'cause she's a living doll
Got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul
Got the one and only walking talking, living doll

Take a look at her hair, it's real
And if you don't believe what I say, just feel
I'm gonna lock her up in a trunk
So no big hunk can steal her away from me

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll
Got to do my best to please her, just 'cause she's a livingdoll
Got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul
Got the one and only walking talking, living doll

Well, take a look at her hair, it's real
And if you don't believe what I say, just feel
Gonna lock her up in a trunk
So no big hunk can steal her away from me

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll
Got to do my best to please her, just 'cause she's a livingdoll
Got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul
Got the one and only walking talking, living doll

Another for the series of walking people.

I dont know if you've noticed, and I hardly do myself, but I'm realizing trends and habbits in my shots. I guess you can call them that. A lot of walking people. People walking. It's kind of interesting to me. When I am shooting street I walk a lot.

Park the car, and walk. I don't like to stop. I like to just keep moving. See something, shoot, move on.

Nothing groundbreaking here.

I think people in motion are beautiful. People captured at a split second while in motion, even more beautiful.
