That music sucks ... but it was entertaining to say the least

A while back there was a discussion about this video here on RFF. Most people found it pretty ridiculous but I have to say that I don't think it's that bad.

I don't like him one bit. Intresting movie though.

Oooh - is this the street ninja Joel? I love that movie.

I laughed, I cried, I thought..."WTF?"

I like Meyerowitz, but this was rather...how to put this politely?...precious. Plays a mean Leica though, and dresses real street. 🙄

I thought it was a pretty good and inspiring movie. A little silly perhaps but I can't say I've ever seen someone actually practicing street photography on film (er digital) before.

Honestly, I though it was better and more worthwhile than most of the technical discussions that go on on the web here or elsewhere, I mean someone actually taking photographs, rather than fondling their camera and discussing their next lens purchase or posting pictures of their pet/children, how queer.

Next time I went out shooting after I saw it it made me want to get closer and bob around like a boxer.

i personally think he's a better (urban) landscape photographer. "st. louis and the arch" and "cape light" kick ass.

I liked the action, making a movie showing how to act and what to do at street photographie.
Meetering in the open hand and useing a 28mm on a leica, yeah a black one.

But the photos are not that I want to do,
first of all they should be black & white.

I thought it would be a nice idea to make such a "making off" at our own,
but who is able to use a movie camera?

Thanks for the link ! Quite interesting the way he approaches "street photography" ...

The funniest aspect to this was ... him darting around basically crooning at his subjects "ooh thats good thats good ... yeah right there"... not exactly stealthy

as I said before very entertaining

especially is commentary of the two people trying to get the table in the taxi and subsequently dropping it.... priceless
