Start Of brief
Today is the start of the Interact project and i have started researching local places to go and look at and so far i have chosen Penwith Radio as it is local and i know one of the people who works there. later on today i shall be contacting Julian to arrange a meeting with him and find out if he wants anything done for the website or anything else.
Street Photography
Street photography first took root in New York in the 60's and 70's and is still going today but the Laws have changed so much in the sense of the Anti Terrorism act of 2001 which came into being after the Dreadful 9/11 Twin Towers Destruction. These laws where put in place to stop terrorists from coming into our country"Blowing"something up and then Disappearing again, but in the recent years i don't think it has worked as well as it should have. What with the July 7th bombings and the bombing in Exeter it just isn't on. but in the sense of street photography it has gone too far, we the normal people and photographers have the right when we are on holiday or doing something for college or school to take photo's of Historic Buildings to show them to our friends and other family members when we get back from our holidays.
In January 2010 a group of protesters gathered in Trafalgar Square for a protest against Police harrassment organised by the Im a Photographer Not a Terrorist.
The main practitioners Lee Friedlander who was friends with Garry Winogrand often met Joel Meyerowitz while taking photo's in New Yorks Busy Sreet.
A Quote from Winigrand
"When I'm photographing, I see life," he once said. "That's what I deal with. I don't have pictures in my head… I don't worry about how the picture is going to look. I let that take care of itself… It's not about making a nice picture. That anyone can do."
