Helmacron posted:Yet if you look at other photos in his pool, this compositional skill you praise muchly is not evident, is not there. Has disapparated and I do wonder if perhaps, you are conjecturing things about a photo like your english teacher conjectured about a poet laureate who, like this photographer, had no other loftier ambition than to jerk off in his sock, so to speak. Well, informed opinion, though. Is it possible the guy just pulled the trigger and caught this image by accident? Sure. It's also very, very unlikely. Not every image in his stream is as strong, but wouldn't that be fantastic? A flickr stream is not a portfolio, necessarily, with only the best of the best of a photographers shots. His isle of the dead shot is one of my favorite recent photographs, and he has several similarly strong.

Arinel posted:I am a huge baby, I totally teared up (no real crying because I was at work). But, it's also great. The last comment the son made, about his dad having gone to Paris to meet his Mum, is heart-warming and sweet, even to an atheist like me.

Helmacron posted:Why does he have a gun pointed to his head? I know I'm just another Internet commentator, but the photo reminds me of those fake "intense" photos people take on flickr. like "okay, portrait idea, you look scared and I'll point a gun at you. it'll be a frighteningly true emotive picture." He has a gun to his head because that is an effective way to get a confession. There's nothing fake about it, purportedly. If it is a picture of an actual interrogation, it's not unlikely there's a urine stain you can't see. The Artist says posted:I have been working on this photographic account of police work and the underworld in Eastern Europe off and on for the past five years. Documenting police work is far easier in a police state—an ex–police state, I suppose one should say—than it is in Canada. Here, the police interrogate suspects well out of public view and hide behind the bureaucratic screen of liberal democracy—the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Privacy Act as well as other confidentiality laws and so on—but still employ the techniques of intimidation, threats and mounting degrees of physical force to pry inculpatory statements from their subjects. The four months it took to complete this set of pictures involved a complete personal surrender of will. Every day was a fight between what I envisioned and what others involved deemed morally acceptable, even if it was repugnant to me. It was a clash of cultures, with my very quaint Enlightenment ideas clashing with the interrogators’ very serious ideas about confession. http://www.canadianart.ca/art/features/2010/09/01/donald-weber/
