"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up everybody yes I did get a haircut but more importantly today I'm going to share some cool stuff with you I've been doing these videos probably about once a month or so where I pick some things that are inspiring or interesting to me and share them with you guys and in the past I've done largely other YouTube channels and I'm gonna ferry that up a little bit today but I actually want to start with the YouTube channel and I want to talk about my friend Sara deechi she says it rhymes with peachy but more importantly Sara is a very talented photographer and filmmaker who lives in Nashville Tennessee I came across her work probably about a month or so ago she had done a video she actually lived in Dallas before moving to Nashville and she had a video of downtown Dallas that was done from various rooftops and it was really good and one of the scenes in there I recognized as being the rooftop to this building so I was checking out some of her other stuff and she does quite a wide range of things in her channel she does a lot of photography tutorials a lot of post-production stuff but one of the things I found the most interesting is her latest project that she's been working on called creative spaces TV and the idea behind this is Sara's not in these videos but they're each a five to ten minute vignette or narrative about somebody who does creative work and they're filmed in that individual space but they talk about their process their work and these videos are very inspiring she's done three of them up to now and she picked an audio engineer she did another one on a gentleman who's a writer slash filmmaker Renaissance man and there's a photographer named Sebastian Smith and there as well who is a former policeman turned photographer and I'll let you go watch the video so you can hear the story on there the interesting thing about Sarah is that she's in her early 20s and for somebody that is that young to have such a wonderful sense of storytelling a sense of narrative color composition and even editing it's really quite amazing and I think that we're gonna see some really amazing things out of Sarah in the next couple years anyway I will link up to her channel in the show notes or however you happen to be watching this video and please go subscribe to our YouTube channel and make sure that you check out creative spaces TV I think you're really gonna like it my second recommendation to you guys today is this book on Lewis far now if you're into street photography and you're not familiar with Lewis you were in for real treat Luis was part of a school of photographers who at the time in New York City were relatively obscure and they were interestingly enough kind of all native New Yorkers came from Jewish backgrounds mostly from Brooklyn some of them have become more known in recent years but at the time you had Richard Avedon who was shooting most of the fashion work that was being done at that time he was really the big name in that but there was a secondary school of photographers who did a lot of freelance work for publications who weren't as well known and also did an enormous amount of personal work mainly because I think they had that bond being native New Yorkers of being able to capture that essence very naturally and this includes people like Sid Grossman Saul Leiter Harold Feinstein Luis Farah and probably to a lesser extent robert frank though he and lewis were very good friends lewis is a very interesting photographer and started out experimenting a lot with 16 millimeter film as I mentioned earlier did some fashion publication work and did an enormous amount of personal work in this book centers around a lot of that personal work much like Saul Leiter he was originally from Pennsylvania and he grew up in Philadelphia so a lot of the work that you see spans Philadelphia see New York City he lived in Paris for a short amount of time you see a lot of really interesting things going on in this work this is detail Staten Island Ferry from 1946 but we see the double exposures the use of shadow and silhouette and you know there is an abstraction that's brought in from time to time so there are elements of various things in here I think compositionally there is a nod to Paul strand and some of his work which would make a lot of sense as well this is also an era where a lot of these photographers were involved with the early efforts of MoMA in New York when Edward Steichen was the curator there and you know in terms of shows and acquisitions family of man was was one of the big things and fara was in on a lot of those things that certainly he wasn't a well-known person and recently this book has actually come out but he did show it a lot of the same galleries as the other photographers that I mentioned I love this image - this is actually done in Philadelphia and this is an homage to Muybridge who obviously the great photographer who in the early days was experimenting with multiple exposures over time to do early film work and what we see here is these reflections of people that repeat in this mirror structure here which is really great you know the other side of his style is like I love this boy with the trombones amazing picture you're gonna see a lot of stuff that was taken in Times Square that represents really a lot of the aesthetic that we think of with mid-century photography and really wonderfully done compositions capturing elements of humanity things that went on in the street at that time these are some of my favorite images - these are actually done with they're in New York but Ringling Brothers Barnum Bailey Circus kind of these behind-the-scenes shots of this clown and the tiger or this guy cleaning the elephants just really wonderfully playful shots that really draw you in some amazing stuff there's a great forward in this book as well that has speaking of behind the scenes let's see if I can find it here there is a really cool picture in here of it was a test print here it is of the two twins that are on the cover of the book and the test print let's see if I get this close so you can see it has all of Louis's notes for the printer about cropping and bringing things out making it lighter or darker and then you see it with the final and anyway really really cool stuff Louis was involved in an accident he was either getting on or getting off a bus and was struck by a car in 1984 and really did not photograph much after that and so he's kind of gone down in history is kind of a quieter name then again Saul Leiter did that as well but then Saul before he died they had the film that came out and so he has had a resurgence in popularity in more recent years and it would be neat to see that happen with far as work - because I think he's absolutely outstanding anyway this is not an extremely expensive book it's easy to find I'll put a link in the show notes but but go check out Lewis farm the last thing that I want to recommend to you guys is actually a series that is coming out weekly it's kind of like sort of a podcast thing but it's on lynda.com now lynda.com if you're familiar with them they are a wonderful resource library of training tutorials and videos covering really everything from photography to design to coding to you name

don't have a lot of money to go throw stuff together all the time and so a lot of times you can make stuff yourself now here's the cool thing about that is I think that even if you do have the money to throw it something sometimes you're not really sure what you need if you don't know what you're doing or how to use what it is you're going for and so that's one of the cool things about do-it-yourself stuff is that you can actually really learn things inside out as you're moving forward and lynda.com have a series right now called the DIY photographer which is really pretty cool and they release these once a week and you can see the titles in here the DIY photographer series introduction but then you get into macro techniques with a potato chip can how to use a chain as a stabilizer making a flash diffuser out of a plastic cup and it goes on and on and they're releasing these one a week and this is actually a really well done series and if you're a do-it-yourself kind of person you'll love this if you are just you know you need to be able to do something he can't afford to purchase the equipment to get it done it's very useful as well now lynda.com is a paid
