Please leave them politics to zuma and his counterpart and whoever is interested --- let us all chill + enjoy awesome African photography! understood? --- Word!
i am just an amateur photographer, i do not have a descent camera + all pictures i take i use my sonyericsson.
i reckon, the more i take photographs, the more i learn, and i believe that, you didn't turn into a professional overnight right? Having a photographer of your pedigree here for youngraphers like me + others is an honor, coz i get to learn from your work. i also understand things from your point of view, but you gotta experiment with all kinds of things to bring about creativity. therefore, since this ain't my blog ---i'm asking you with tears in my eyes, please come back!
Wont ask nobody to come back ... He does not believe that's why he left ... Its not like he was taking the dopest flicks he had an angle for sure ...
Actually F this why am I entertaining this ... !
In graffiti ... We all started as toys, even Seen himself has admitted to that ... But in order for one to be true to their artform you find out about things and you learn and bring it live ... and I have seen 75 providing that kinda platform ... 75 is no professional - armature stuff here ... Its just documentation ...
Then you have this so called "professionals" with big name brand cameras saying sh*t ... To be FRANK y'all pictures are even HOt they just taken with a good camera! ... Sometimes I wonder! But its cool ... The world is small ... We will meet ... I'm good in holding grudges ... And I do bring it liVE too ...
This cat needs to straight chill. If he wants to bounce then cool, vaai! I personally am not claiming whether I am a good photographer or not and frankly I'm fine with that. Thats why I love 75.
In a sense I understand what he's trying to get at but I got a problem when people think they can use this as a platform to put people down and push their own agenda. This is a place for photgraphers to grow and learn and take what they feel represents them. Whether you get paid to take photo's or not doesnt make you any better than the guy who's starting from scratch.
Rome wasnt built in a day. Look at yourself before you go and critise other peeps. Noid might be right, I'm not sure whether the pics are dope or just shot with a nice camera. I aint no dick-rider, I call it as I see it.
So in closing - have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.
the book does not have to be printed, we can go--pdf, and keep it at a low res for screen only, then do more work on getting funds to manifest the book ---i can do both but mor effective i think is making a mark ... we all should create new histories --and 75th heritage will do just that .
