Street Photography Project

[Robert Skeoch]

I've been working on a series of portraits taken on one street in Hamilton, Ontario.
Kenilworth Avenue is a gritty part of town and I've been making images on the one street for about a year now.
I've just finished printing a bunch of the negatives for a presentation on the work that I'm making next week.
Most of the work is portraiture although sometimes I'll shoot an urban landscape if it interests me.

I'll post images as I get them flattened.

I read through your blog posts Rob and it looks like an awesome project. Really enjoying the portraits and how, by shooting a series, they are tying together a place.

Like the train tracks one, just the right amount of bokah :)

Went to LA downtown with Domenico and walked the streets and shot a dozen with my Graflex super d with a 7 1/2 " f/3.5 cooke lens with no aperture. Domenico told me to use my other lens with aperture next time. Here are a few of them.

Hugo Zang, the 3 one is great!

I assume both of you go back with prints to give to the subjects if you happen to see them. Makes for better relations not only for you, but for other photographers who might decide to do a similar project.

[Hugo Zhang]

Jim,

I will go back with prints to find these people again in a few weeks. :)

I've looked at these several times now, I think the format and the horizontal composition works well on these, I rather like them. Please post more and keep up the good work.

I've printed and flattened a few more.

Yes I do take them a print. I have a log book that I keep and I record what they think of the images in it.

Same here!

Skateboarder image is my favorite so far.

What size are you printing these at Rob?

[Robert Skeoch]

I printed them as 8x20. It worked out well. Just split a sheet of 16x20 in half and you can make two prints. The print size is rather nice.

Why 8x20 and not 10x20? I'm asking purely from a financial standpoint you can get a "standard" 10x20 but have to get a custom frame in 8x20, it's the reason I don't often make 10x30 images even if I like that size.
