Starting off at the gym with new observations of absolute astonishment. There's always new observations of interest you may find surprising and entertaining. I then move onto the purpose of the Podcast with my observation of recent trends in photography that demonstrate in my opinion laziness in the name of breaking away from norms of 20th century craftsmanship. Intended to be fresh and new but actually old and done before. There are very few today that are successful in using direct flash in a creative way but not so much as a gimmick but as creative license they've perfected. This direct flash technique has been used for over 35 years that I know of, but now curator's find it cutting edge from emerging photographers. For me, it's distracting that diminishes the viewers viewpoint when looking at the image quality from a social documentary sense. It's a technique that exaggerates the reality of a scene, by intruding, bruising and dramatizes real or not so real feeling, sometimes mood and definitely reality. When I see the blast flash technique I see the shadow's first then the subject in front of the camera. In my opinion that's gravely wrong. Focus should always be one the human condition and not an over dramatic surreal flavor of the month shadow on a wall. I know, I may be attacked with disagreements on this but study documentary or social documentary work of the profession and then tell me I'm full of shit.
