stormdogOn an unrelated note, this is a photograph by an acquaintance of mine in Detroit. I met him by chance while I was photographing in the abandoned Easttown Theatre. We both just happened to be there at the same time! I feel really fortunate to have bumped into him. Not only was he fun to wander around an old movie house with, but his street photography never fails to amaze me.
I've often said that I don't find people very interesting, aesthetically. I suppose that's not entirely true. The people I find interesting are the ones whose very appearance tells a story of a strange and interesting life. Pictures in the style of Diane Arbus. I would have no idea how to approach people on the street to photograph them, but there are some people who seem to do it amazingly well. Robert, or Detroit Liger on Flickr, is one of them.
