Just few hours ago

I was in downtown making my photography. I mean MY photography. In the street, personal, just doing…me. I need to clarify that because the talibans of street photography are back, attacking a good photographer in Los Angeles, often making photos while running with his skateboard. But the defenders of the faith (alias rich kids with expensive cameras) attacked him arguing that is no street photography. OOOOK…so I guess I'm not doing street photography either. You know what I'm telling you. I don't give a shit. Actually...better. Because the mere thought of being compared to these boring, shitty award winners just doesn't appeal to me.

I do photography. Natural, organic, not that heavy post processed crap they do. Even little bit famous street photographers right now…are they happy with that crap? OK. After many years I still can look at my photos and they are so natural and not fake. Good luck to them with looking at their images in 10 years: because maybe in 10 years they will realize that crap can achieve a result right now, in the world of awards and festivals, but it looks like a huge pile of crap…or smoking assholes…hahaha…
