When I first got into photography nearly 30 years ago the photographers that really got my attention were 'street photographer.' Street photographers grabbed pictures of life as it was going on. The greats like Cartier-Bresson and Andre Kertescz really grabbed me. I can still pick up books of their work and spend a great deal of time looking through. More recently --in the last 20-15 years I got interested in more modern street photographers who shot more wide and less concerned with composing---in other words they were were more pure documentarians because it was entirely about the subject captured and not even about the craft of photography. I'm not sure, as I was once did, if I feel this is negligent of the photographer--or better for the true documentation???? I am however sure that the acceptance of this work has opened up doors in the way I see possible photographs. Over a year ago I began collecting images that I was calling 'Drive-by Shooting' Sort of a tongue in cheek title for the pictures I took blindly out the window of my car as I drove around. The rules I set up for these were simple ones. I couldn't look through the camera(that would be dangerous and I'd end up 'crafting' the photo..) And i wanted these to just be....no cropping or extraneous photoshop editing. The image either works as it is--or it doesn't. Since I got the camera phone I've been trying it out and have had some successes. I won't post them all here today, but I thought I post a few. What I like about this idea is that they are raw and simple views of life that exists as we pass by it--there is no story other than the ones we imagine for the subject captured. Yet if we examine these we might begin to get a glimpse of our surroundings and its people. Enough of these might explain some part of our time that isn't normally taken note of as we proceed with our lives and our day. Photographs by Richard Sayer
