Like 'Dennis' without the 'D.'
I was hangin' out talkin' street philosophy with Ector Nova when Ennis walked into the 'street photographers ambush.'
People are what give a street shot 'soul.'
If it don't have a person in it... it's got no soul.
What is it about the human face that is so compelling?
These closeup images have a 'feel' to them.
Only that sweet 35mm 1.8 deployed inches away from the subject could capture that.
The 'reality' of a spontaneous human moment.
It brings the viewer there.
Right there.
No amount of photoshop or camera trickery can duplicate what that 35mm lens can do...
It captures real.
It captures something of the 'fourth dimension.'
Check it out on BLACK!
