Saul Leiter joins in-Public

[Hamel]

It's exciting to hear that he is finally getting recognition with his work. After watching 13 Life Lessons it seems that he is trying to organize and get his work together to be archived. In-Public seems like a good fit for Saul. Hopefully there will be new work of his going on the website that we can all enjoy.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending a small lecture by Richard Bram where he talked about his work and In-Public. He said that it's more of a community where they can discuss and edit each others work and showcase their street photography in a way that they can control; unlike Magnum or an agency that tries to sell photos or gain assignments. The site isn't flashy but it's not meant to be; the photos are meant to speak for themselves. Saul is in great company next to Richard Bram, Gus Powell, and Trent Parke. I highly recommend watching the In-Public documentary. http://www.in-public.com/news/2011/9/insight_film_now_available

Any site Saul Leiter is on is a site well worth visiting, even if you have to go there barefoot and in the rain.

His photos are edible - my highest accolade.

If anyone desserves to be among the Masters it's Saul Leiter. A true pioneer.

For those who haven't seen it here's a short video treat: http://vimeo.com/44052106http://vimeo.com/44052106

Saul is great. I love his black and white as well as color. He seems a bit out of place at In-Public though. They choose work on a particular street photography way of "seeing". Maybe they are beginning to "think" a bit differently.

Thank you Wuzwinder. I keep on striving. Some recent ones of mine I like from a trip to Melbourne Australia. You will need to click the links as for some reason the images do not embed on this particular forum page - some pages are like that apparently)

The original post was from May 2013. Most of you probably already know that Saul Leiter died in November 2013.

I also admire his work. Some of it is displayed at this website: www.leitercatalog.com/

It's worth a look.
