fuck, ac. Why you gotta make my life so hard? I really despise a lot of your photo advice, and yet you go and recommend Dicorcia. The world is so complex. :<
In reference to>>68322
Dicorcia is one of the most important photographers of the last 40 years. He has basically two major projects: his portraits (best described here: http://artscenecal.com/ArticlesFile/Archive/Articles1997/Articles1097/PdiCorciaA.html) and his heads. His heads series is especially brilliant. He disguised a lighting rig as scaffolding on a New York sidewalk and set up a camera with a 300mm lens 75 feet away. Whenever someone tripped the sensor trigger, the camera took an instant record of that moment, lit hollywood-style. Basically, it reinvented street photography.
If nothing else, diCorcia gave us this wonderful quote about photography. "Photography is a foreign language everyone thinks he speaks" If that ain't truth, I don't know what is.
