It just came to my ear, that the british photographer Tony Ray-Jones (1886–1942) liked to make lists - in the first place for himself, but some of it also fits to myself.


• BE MORE AGGRESSIVE
• GET MORE INVOLVED (TALK TO PEOPLE)
• STAY WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER (BE PATIENT)
• TAKE SIMPLER PICTURES
• SEE IF EVERYTHING IN BACKGROUND RELATES TO SUBJECT MATTER
• VARY COMPOSITIONS AND ANGLES MORE
• BE MORE AWARE OF COMPOSITION
• DON’T TAKE BORING PICTURES
• GET IN CLOSER (USE 50mm LESS)
• WATCH CAMERA SHAKE (shoot 250sec or above)
• DON’T SHOOT TOO MUCH
• NOT ALL AT EYE LEVEL

// Emmanuel Smague
Through flickr, I just stumbled across a quite interesting book by Emmanuel Smague. It features classic b&w images of Kurdish people after 2003. You can see it online over here or just order it for 20€. French Language, though.

Yesterday, I bumped into some older shots I made on a trip to Hamburg with a Ricoh GR Digital - too bad that I sold it afterwards.
