where the streets have no name ... have street photogs

A friend of mine just found this photo gallery on a newspaper on line and I'd like to share with you:

Issa, street photographer in Mali

i think it's amazing...

The article says he's name is Issa Samado and he lives in Mali. He has no techonology but a great passion for photography. Now are 40 years he's doing this job shooting only b/w and developing the photos by himself.

All I can say after reading is: Long live Issa!

Ciao
Nico

This puts some of the silly "gear" threads into perspective.

This reminds me of stories I've seen about street photographers in Cuba. It's amazing how with a bit of passion some don't let the lack of 'proper' equipment deter them from doing what they choose. Thanks for sharing the link!

Just amazing what you can do with a box, a lens, & a sheet of film.

I love how he makes the positive. About as basic as you can get. Just take a photo of the neg. 🙂
