    "What makes my town the town that it is?" Now that is an exceptional question.

    I really love what you're saying here. And I like your photographs a lot. I'd like to make a suggestion. Please reconsider the active film dust background you use behind the stills. They don't need it, and it really, really distracts from the images. It works under the titles where you've used it, but I find it very hard to see the still images with the visual destruction of the dancing motes around them.
    Thank you for what you're doing, and keep up the good work.

    It's strange i live in a pretty boring town in England not far from London and i go into London often for street photography and it just feels natural. I have never thought about walking around my town and documenting it as it would feel strange but you are right i am sure i could find something interesting to photograph and i will give it a try, nice video.

    Sorry I was washing the pots and listening and missed the fact that you had shown Dan Baker's Name. I live across the river in the City and he photographs my childhood playground seaside experiences and thus brings back memories which is great for me as i don't have any photos of those days. But some good memories.

    I recently went through this mental reframing since I'm living in a very quiet rural place. One thing I keep in mind is that a view that seems so mundane and every day to me could be very interesting to someone in another part of the world. Also, there's a beauty in capturing the subtleness and nuance that surrounds us.

    • @winslow_j
      @winslow_j  Год назад +2

      That's absolutely it!! Capturing the beauty in the mundane, what we see everyday could be beautiful and inspiring to someone else. Something amazing happens when we slow down and really look at our surroundings for what they are, instead of wishing they were something else. I fell into that trap for years, and it really opens your eyes creatively for what you can capture wherever you are.

  • @stevedobbsphoto

    Had to stop half way through to comment. Don't get too hooked up on labelling your genre of photography. Your town is full of opportunities to shoot, and I would rather see your authentic style in this environment than try to make it something it's not. To me living in Australia your town looks straight out of a movie, with its flagged porches and that Fire Station! It's probably one of those situations where everyone thinks the grass is always greener in someone else's town!

    • @winslow_j
      @winslow_j  8 месяцев назад +1

      This is a good reminder! I like to think I'm a life photographer, not just street, because I try to shoot whatever I think is beautiful. But my favorite style is street and I always see through that lens, so I get caught up in saying "I'm a street photographer". It really is a beautiful town! a classic example of new england architecture, and it was nice to see it with fresh eyes with my camera. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 🙏

    • @GerritADHS
      @GerritADHS 7 месяцев назад +3

      Exactly my thoughts.
      We always tend to consider our surroundings “normal” but in times of RUclips and instagram, your “normal” is special to people like dobbs from Australia or me from Germany.

      I’m not exaggerating when I say I did the exact same thing, stopped half way to check the comment. It seems that there are some on online forums who have a very narrow definition of street photography and anything outside that is just met with harsh criticism. As far as my personal taste is concerned, any art should be created independent of the bounds f a particular genre in mind; genre classifications should be done only to study or catalogue them not while creating them.

I glad that you don’t get hooked-up on gear - but promote the images. I had a Sony mirrorless DSLR for several years. Now, I use my iPhone camera exclusively. Thank you (!) very kindly for your videos and encouragement.

    I really enjoyed this video because it really hit home with me!! I live in a small town (population 9,000) and have had trouble photographing people because it seems they are suspicious of their photographs being taken - even though I have lived here for 40 years and am known. I have even attempted to photograph using my cell phone and old digi-cams so to not stand out carrying a DSLR. Again, a great video!! Best of luck in your photography journey!
    Best,

    Great video, definitely lots of good suggestions on where or what to shoot..especially in small towns. I live just north of Rhode Island, been there a thousand times and always without a camera, with lots of places by the ocean to capture is helpful, especially when you think there's nothing to capture. I'm inspired by this video to go out and get "downtown" and shoot, and walk and shoot. Thanks

    • @winslow_j
      @winslow_j  6 месяцев назад

      I'm glad to hear it helped! It's interesting because every town will have it's own unique personality that can be captured and will come across in different ways. Sometimes the best photos are where you don't think you'll get a photo at all, you never know when! Good luck and happy shooting.

      Very inspiring video Jared. I always think to myself when doing street that maybe I am creating a bit of history, but I live in a relatively large city. You are potentially “ the local historian” for your small town and there is always a need to create future history no matter where you live. Keep up your brilliant work. I’m going to make a point of going to some of our smaller towns and see what I can see. New subscriber from Northern Ireland.

    Thanks for this video!
    I’ve lived in big cities like Vancouver, B.C. and New Delhi, but I found I had to make this same switch when I moved home to Salt Lake City, Utah, to take care of family business.
    I knew I’d be here for at least a few years, so I decided to pivot my photography towards documenting a city that’s become one of the fastest changing/growing in the US. Part of that impetus came from my coming back from living in India for a few years and seeing how drastically my home town had changed in the time I’d been gone. A lot of the charm and history had been lost, so I made it a personal mission to document what was left and what it was turning into.
    Right now it’s just a personal project on a separate IG account from my professional profile, but I’m doing it for the love of doing so. I’m finding the act of creating for the sake of creating incredibly fulfilling so far. Maybe some day I’ll publish the whole project, or maybe I’ll donate it to the city, who knows.
    Anyways, great vid, keep up the good work!

    • @winslow_j
      @winslow_j  10 месяцев назад +1

      I love this!! Thanks for sharing your story. Photography is such a powerful form of preservation and I’m sure the town would absolutely love to see the project if you decide to share it with them. Even if not, the joy and fulfillment that it brings is what it’s all about. I always love seeing how our photography changes with us depending on our season of life. I’m going through it right now with a move I just made to New York City. My work feels very different, and I’m navigating through what I want it to look like and what I want to capture as I move along. It’s a never ending journey, and that’s what makes it so exciting. Thanks so much for watching, and for sharing! 🙏🏻 keep it up and good luck with your project

    I live in the countryside in north-west England, surrounded by towns that are struggling and are in need of regenerating. While I can go into Manchester, the typical Brit will think anything greater than 30 minutes travel time is too far. This video was what I needed to get inspired to go out into the local towns nearby and try and capture their essence, rather than try and follow the crowd and go for cities. Great video! Also, well done for pronouncing Cleethorpes correctly

    Nice pace, interesting content, timely topic, great video! I live in a large but very rural county in Washington State, with one town of population 2000, the county seat. Several other towns with 500 or so people, and the rest is forest, mountain or pasture. Lots of nice scenery, so landscape photography is abundant, but I've been trying some street shooting as a change of pace. I'd like to add one more to your list of things to try. I start out each session by looking for light, lines and shapes. Once my eye gets 'tuned in', I start to see opportunities to add the human element. Sometimes, or often, it means finding a good composition and then having to wait for someone to walk through. Tempering expectations, as you mentioned, is key. But getting a good image under challenging conditions has it's rewards! I hope you do more videos on this theme! And, love the kitty in the window!

    Great topic, great job here. Love your thoughtful images! Such an important point of view…there are so many big city shooters…all looking for odd people, strange signs…cheap shots many times…like shooting fish in a barrel with spray shooting. Slowing down to look has great value and you’re right, it’s all documenting life. Keep up the good work!

    Very, very well done, Jared. I live in a small town & do a lot of shooting here. Since it’s usually fairly quiet (& I’m always concerned about bothering people), most shots are sans people. You are right - we are street shooters - documentarian/environment shooters. It’s kinda like “a rose is a rose,” right? Different places, different atmospheres, different personalities, different experiences - but we’re all photographers, shooting life as we discover it.

    • @winslow_j
      @winslow_j  7 месяцев назад +1

      Well said! That's exactly right. No matter what or where we're shooting, we're documenting life as we see it through our eyes. I also find it fascinating how two people can take photos in the same place and come away with totally different photos. It's all very fascinating. Thank you for watching.

    @kbstabs5982 4 месяца назад

    Very nice. I relate completely. I moved to a much smaller town some years ago and it took me a while to realize that ther is so much to photo, document and see the beauty. I have a project called 1 km (yes, in Canada) where I photograph things within a 1 km radius of my home while walking the dog. Every time, the light is different and the people are are different. There are days with different events and celebrations. And the changing seasons make the same old vistas different throughout the year.

But you mentioned 'New England', top of the East coast and a beautiful part of the country. You must know that there are people who live in cities, who would pay a fortune to live in your small town. Peace and quiet, possibly low crime, cheaper. You have to love your town. Keep up the good work, stay safe, all the best.

I am used to going to Melbourne, about 3 hours by train, just to do big city street. I have often thought of doing street at home, but struggle with the so different vibe.

    Interesting video, thanks.I’ve been photographing my smallish town for a while, here in the UK. One thing I’ve noticed more of, as time has gone on, is how many more security cameras and Ring doorbells have been cropping up everywhere, even in the ‘poorer’ (ie more photographically interesting 😉) areas of town. I’ve seen posts on local Facebook groups saying, ‘this person was taking pictures of my house, be wary People’ (not me, as far as I’m aware!) It’s making my photography task (which is just a hobby) so much more difficult when people are going around thinking I’m some kind of criminal. Sigh!

      @winslow_j  8 месяцев назад +1

      Oh woww that sounds like a super interesting story to capture as well, the changing of the town with the security cameras going in, almost feels very big brother haha yikes! the unfortunate part is people who don't necessarily understand photography/street photography, think it's something weird or criminal, when in reality, we're just documenting life and how environments change over time. People will always think that! But I think it's how we go about it, and you may have a very interesting story on your hands to capture. I think if anyone ever asks, you could say you're a photographer documenting how to town changes over the years. You're doing nothing wrong, so I hope you continue to enjoy it!

      Rich people have had cameras all over their properties for decades. Nobody complained. Now that they're more accessible and poorer people start to use them, suddenly people feel caught. Textbook double standards. Maybe we should rather talk about why people feel the need to install this stuff, i feel like that's the actual problem. In public places, Big Brother in the UK has been a thing for quite some time now. I find it horrible. Surveillance absolutely everywhere, cameras at every corner in the big cities, and what they did with INDECT during the Olympics was literal 1984 dystopia. I wouldn't be surprised if they use a similar program all day long now, I'm sure they at least will be once AI solutions become more refined. This stuff makes me really uncomfortable. I'm glad I don't live in Britain...
      Street photography documents public life to share knowledge and culture, to enable people access to art that's relatable for normal people. It makes you think and question the normality of everyday life. Depending on the times you live in, what's going on in the streets, it can even transport and amplify revolutionary potential. Surveillance, on the other hand, documents public life to exert control and scare people away from being different and noticeable. Go drown in the sea of grey, boring conformity, otherwise you will be focused by the authorities.

    Your video really resonated with me... well done... I grew up in Cleveland, OH... but the smallest town I ever lived in was this town in Iowa with a population of about 150 people... (I think that count included farm animals 😉) I was the only Black man living there, so photo walks were quite interesting... not a lot of blending in going on if you know what I mean... anyway, I have a background in music and portrait photography... so my work became about my experience of living in this really small town... which was often quite lonely... Sometimes, I pretended I was visiting a small foreign country... that part of Iowa had been settled by people from Norway... so not a huge stretch... the point is, you're right, really had to slow down, breathe, and challenge myself creatively to keep going... thank you.

The boat building history of that town is pretty cool too. I see you are in NYC now, how do you like it.

    I lived a few miles from Chicago the first 65 years of my life. We moved to a small rural town pop. 5,600 in 2016, it was certainly different! I concentrated on landscape photography because the novelty of rural farm life. Then started photographing 'in town' especially night photography. My local FaceBook postings were getting great comments and many likes, in fact I published a zine through Blurb with only night images, I sold over 60 copies. I'm not getting rich, but I do it for the joy of taking and sharing my images. I side note, none of my photos include people, I'm more interested in shapes, textures, light and documentation of the current conditions which are not always favorable or glamorous. Walker Evans has always been an influence to my photography, I shoot digital printing in B&W and color and the occasional infrared.

      @winslow_j  10 месяцев назад +1

      I love this! Thank you for sharing. I’d be interested in hearing how you feel the move from Chicago to a small town might’ve influenced your photography, if at all. Very cool that you released a zine too, I’m sure the local community appreciate having a physical form of the town in their homes. I think it’s really interesting as well how our photography changes, and what we’re interested in photographing changes depending on our season of life. It’s always evolving with us, and that’s something I love about it. Thanks for watching and for sharing!

      @@winslow_j Much of my earlier photography was architecture of the city both commercial and industrial. Moving to a rural community forced me to seek beauty and interesting subjects in the vast flat landscape of soybean and corn fields. I also sought out State Parks to work on my woodland photography. One new genre I never tried was night and astro photography, the skies are much darker a few minutes from our house to get great Milky Way and star trails images. Another zine I published was "Rural Skyscrapers of East Central Illinois" which I photographed 80+ grain elevators stacking 3 - 12 images to decrease distortion. The images contained from 1 to 16 silo bins, mostly next to rail lines in the center of town.My current project is to photograph, document, small local towns in color. It's more about people than of people. You don't find many people walking the streets of a town of 5,000 let alone towns with populations less than a 1,000.
