Bruce Gilden on Magum website
"A Beautiful Catastrophe" is the craziest photography book I have seen so far. I just bought it second hand on Amazon for less than £10 and it was a great buy. In this book Bruce shoots in the streets of New York with a Leica camera. He shoots strangers. He doesn't ask for permission. And he uses a flash on cord. He is big and scares lots of people suddenly jumping in front of them and blinding them with his flash. Crazy stuff.
and he says: "I'm known for taking pictures very close, and the older I get, the closer I get." yeah, we can see that.

i guess, this answers the question every youn wannabe street photographer asks -
get a expensive camera, a flash on a cord, get old and stick the lens in their face to get a good photo!
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Home Broker, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://home-broker-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.
Gilden is incredible in what he can teach someone - look at his shots, think how they were made, witness his self-confidence in their brazen creation. Then accept them, his process and the results. Then, it no longer seems brazen or confrontational - those are terms used by the inhibited, concerned and fearful. Carpe diem.
