Three Members of Public Life, Ying Tang, Markus Hartel and Siegfried Hansen participate in the book
"Street Photography Now"
Get up close and personal with the world’s best street photographers as they capture the drama of everyday life at 1⁄125 of a second. Prowl pavements and back alleys, encountering comic absurdities, small acts of kindness and scenes of unexpected beauty; let your eye be caught by a witty billboard, a woman dressed as an angel, a businessman sprinting through the crowd: the human carnival is in town and the streets are alive.

I'm giving a talk about street photography next week in San Francisco:

A short history of street photography, with examples and discussion about taking memorable photographs of people in the street. Juan will discuss the art and science of capturing a moment and telling a story with just one image. Plus he will use his years of real-world experience to discuss approaching strangers, dealing with confrontation, and avoiding potential legal pitfalls here and abroad. This talk is for anyone that wants to improve their ability to tell stories with a camera.

About this series:

I was on summer vacation at the Côte d'Azur in France. Spending a day in Monaco I stumbled on this affecting event called "benediction of animals".

Imagine about two hundred people of all ages and origins coming together at the Monaco Cathedral. Everyone accompenied by their dogs, bunnies, ferrets and other animal friends. What at first sight sounds like a scenery of excessive yapping and biting actually was such a wonderful gathering!

After the priest of the cathedral had appeared, the crowd held a prayer blessing animals as well as people. The ceremony ended with everybody singing in the warm evening sun. A really moving moment. I left with such a good feeling.

This feeling occurs if one tries to blind out the events, which surround us. Margarucci asks us to close our eyes and to be quiet in order to hear and feel the sound of absence.]]> http://www.public-life.org/blog/new-feature-rick-berland/32/ http://www.public-life.org/blog/new-feature-rick-berland/32/#comments Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:32:05 +0200 Robert Engelhardt News http://www.public-life.org/blog/new-feature-rick-berland/32/ Light is Everywhere".]]> http://www.public-life.org/blog/helen-levitt/31/ http://www.public-life.org/blog/helen-levitt/31/#comments Tue, 31 Mar 2009 00:00:01 +0200 Robert Engelhardt Photographer http://www.public-life.org/blog/helen-levitt/31/ Helen Levitt, one of the famous street photography icons (born in 1913), died at the age of 95 on the night from Saturday to Sunday in her apartment in New York, Greenwich Village.

From time to time we will present selected photographers and their work. We open our doors for established as well as upcoming talents who are not members of Public Life hoping this will lead to an increasing quality and variety on our site.

The first photographer featured in our new area is Christian Reiser (known from Sonic Blog interview about street photography). His documentary "ALEX" reflects the life at Alexanderplatz in Berlin.

Feel free to contact us if you have any photography project which you think is worth being presented at Public Life. Please note: Do not send your work as email attachment. All we need is a link to your website where we can have a look at the project in advance.]]>
