[John Lawrence]

A compilation of short films (they run for about 11 minutes in total) on Bangkok based Photojournalist Jonathan Taylor:

Please note that they do contain some footage of drug use, murder victims etc. which some may find distressing.

Thanks John for the link

Nicely done piece about Jonathan, I liked his work too particularly the shots of the drug users.

Seems it's the start of five, six documentaries in one clip, with five minutes of black-with-music at the end.

Loved the shots too but as a 16-minute clip it fails. Unfortunately.

I have to agree with Johan that it doesn't sustain as a youtube film but the first clip, robbed from another documentary is a good bit of film making and worth a look

nice to know that he still uses film on his nikon (fm ?) even
in the last clip where a fellow photog was using digital.

I was a bit confused about the way it was put together too!

However, I do think it gives a (rare) insight into the lives of photojournalists and just what it takes to be one.

The pictures are great too.

I think (but don't know for certain) that he uses digital now, and feel that the clips were probably filmed some (5??) years ago. But it was the first time I've seen these (or any) films about him.

I have done a photo trip with Jonathan 3 years ago, and he was using a Nikon D700. He's a great street and documentary photographer and not afraid to go in the worst places. Very nice guy too!

Whoever compiled this stuff, used commercial music and didn't pay for it so we can't see this in Germany :-(

Does the later youtube link I posted work??
