I used to be an art director and years back a photographer I was working with took me to exhibitions of Nadav Kander and Andreas Gursky, both of whom blew me away, and so I started taking pictures. Bought a beautiful Nikon 35Ti (regret selling it to this day) and started snapping. Now use X100 and 5D II. Got a few images here: ChrisPricePhoto

Photography Fans?, by Someones Brain on Mar 5, 2015 11:33:23 GMT 1, The legal side of street photography is rather complicated in Germany. Part of the problem are the very old laws governing that field. The rights of the photographer (freedom of art) conflict with the rights of passerby pictured. In the case of a legal action, the rights of passerby are given large weight which can make street photography impossible or at least risky for the artist. E.g. the photographer Espen Eichhรถfer was sued and is now fighting his way through legal instances to get a basic clarification of the legal framework for street photography artists in the future. He started an (already successful) crowd funding to cover his legal expenses that you can find here:
www.startnext.com/streetphotography
There's also an article (in German only - sorry) about the topic here:
www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/kunst/streit-ueber-strassenfotografie-13463416.html
I'm not affiliated with any side in this case but as there are some photography and art fans on here I thought it might be interesting for some of you. I hope that's OK.

It happens pretty rarely, and of course you gotta be lucky to get it on a cloudless night, but it happens! They've got an app too that'll keep you notified when it's a high alert.

Plenty to do and see and some fantastic photographers doing talks. This was formerly Focus on Imaging but taken over and re branded last year and was a great event www.photographyshow.com/

...and with that in mind, I wondered if you'd seen the Documentary "Finding Vivian Maier"? It has probably been mentioned here before, but I thought it was excellent. Well worth a watch for anyone, not just those interested in photography.

In Giles words: "No matter what your political persuasion, it canโt be denied that, in 2016, compassion, tolerance and empathy took a beating. But this generosity and compassion is inspiring. The issues of the world can seem overwhelming but โ even if just for a few families โ this proves that the kindness of strangers can change lives." www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/01/syria-disabled-refugees-update-giles-duley-photography
