>>3137333>because it's such easy generic pseudo-deep street photo fodder to take pictures of homeless people begging, and the fact that you put that song alongside it underscores that point. the kind of person who thinks that song is deep would probably think black and white street photos of homeless people begging are deep.hmm interesting point. I am currently "homeless" i live in my car in manhattan. So i really connect with that song. Do you feel like I am taking advantage of the beggar by taking his photo to increase my own popularity online?
I never do black and white just because i feel like that is an old technology when we can do color. I did mess with the colors/saturation on that photo to make the beggar vest stand out more. I agree with you that it is cliche that ppl take photos of beggars at a disproportionate rate. That is why I try take photos of every race and every class. :I guess i agree the photo isn't the most intellectually stimulating work i have done
