I also need to be shameless about taking pictures of strangers.

I bet you can get away with way more intrusion into peoples' lives with a twin-lens reflex than you can with a DSLR. One says "arty" to people passing by and the other says "creeper terroriser"

yeah that's for sure, and of course the fact that she's a chick means she can get away with a lot more than a dude can.

She should have stayed alive for a few more years until Facebook and Flickr were invented.

Nevermind, I thought she died in 1999, not 2009.

Fuck her for being better than me but hiding her shit.

That's the most adult comments section of any article I've ever seen on the internet.

I also think we should give a lot of consideration to Ken Tanaka's comment about the lower angle of view you get from a twin-lens reflex. I noticed it right away, in all of these photos -- when you see somebody curled up on the ground, for example, instead of looking down at them, you're almost looking straight at them. It makes a big difference psychologically, and especially with the children's photos.


^^that's why i tend to throw down on the floor when i shoot
