Hi David,
My only comment about the interview is how many versions through
translation, online assumptions, possibilities of what or wont, maybe, might
and any other ideas list members can and have read into this have taken up
so much picture taking time better spent..
You good Sir have shown that it's possible to comment and still produce some
great photo essay material! :-)
We don't see many "photo essay" type picture stories as they once were
called in the good old days of photojournalism.
But obviously this series illustrates very well the "Photo Essay" is still
alive and well. It's the art of telling a story through pictures, start to
finish rather than the one supposedly tell all happy snap.
Yep we have some shooters who produce beautiful travel and people life photo
essays, Nathan for one. But not many that concentrate on one subject as
you've done extremely well start to finish!
The photo stories in the rotogravure sections of the 50's & 60's were
wonderful. Or those 18 page in depth layouts in LIFE, LOOK, der Stern and
other magazines long gone were wonderful.
Today we're inundated by "One picture" trash mags such as People, Sluts and
other mentally degraded toilet produced morons to make money due to the
bottom-feeding people that the mighty dollar counts far more than anything
else publications.
Good on you for posting a photo essay as I thoroughly enjoyed the series.
Hopefully others might follow with a set of "start to finish story telling
photographs with meaning."
My other point is to use a similar scroll type method showing the images as
you have here. That is rather than clicking a half dozen back and forth to
see each picture.
Good on you.

Over the last couple of days, many of us (myself included) have been
discussing the Kaufmann interview, and it's implications for the future.
Some, like Ted, have complained that we should simply "go take pictures and
leave this alone and some day it'll resolve itself"
So, wanting to show that you can do both (and always heeding the Guru's
advice), yesterday morning I braved the -5 temperatures to learn one of the
great secrets of rural life.
So, if you're a "city boy" (as I used to be) and ever wondered just how they
put the wheels on a horse...
