So glad I shot hundreds of rolls from the 1960s to the end. Just took out one of my binders of slides shot in 1990, look like they were shot yesterday. Ditto for family slides from the 1940-50s. There will never be a film like it again.
The project wasn't actually as spontaneous as this video would have you think. The documentary would make you think the trip was like this: -Steve walked out his apartment around NYC looking for photos but could only find one worthwhile. -Steve then gets a spontaneous idea to make a series of portraits where everything is controlled with one picture per person. -Steve then just decides to go to India to photograph Rabari shepherds before moving on to Parsons, KS to develop the film Here's the real story. -Steve scheduled a portrait session with Robert DeNiro and used up the first six frames with three portraits. -Steve then used up frames 7-14 on Indian cultural figures, a sculptor's studio, and a Turkish photographer. -Steve then photographed the Rabari shepherds. -Steve went back through NYC where he took candid pictures of people, a picture of some weird street art, and a self-portrait. -Steve then went to Parsons, KS where he took a picture of his feet in his hotel at 4 am while watching Stephen Colbert. -Steve used the last frame on a statue giving a salute. www.vanityfair.com/culture/photos/2011/02/last-kodachrome-slide-show-201102_old
I had the great opportunity to meet Steve in person at a book signing session in Auckland, New Zealand in 2006. I asked him how to become someone like him. He said never stop photographing and find your niche.
again some of these images are complex, wonderful and just a feast for the eye, allow them to sink in, at least 6 secs per images, 3 secs is like a blink and unworthy of the photo. Thanks and good luck!
Wonderful images for sure! Tip. tone the music down 40% and give the IMAGES more time 5-6 seconds minimum..and less. This could be a visual meditation but is a rush job now. Thanks Steve!
I remembered her famous photo, so when I found out about this documentary, I couldn't wait to watch it, but I couldn't watch it because there were no subtitles in Korean, so I got a DVD with Korean subtitles and finally watched it. Your channel is watched by people from many countries and it would be better if you could support subtitles for as many countries as possible.
I pray 🙏 for her and family please take the best care of her and her family, Steve and national geography owes her millions of dollars made from that one photo, she's a celebrity so treat her like one she's not sueing anyone, can a school build inheritance name such a beautiful woman even when so mature God blessed her and families and friends take care of her please,the fear is still in her eyes,not knowing what next God his great
I hope National Geographic has given money to these people who have helped try to find the girl . The families have a very very difficult life & for the western world to profit aka the magazine itself , they should at least give some food or animals
Obviously every photo was to some extent meticulously vetted but that fact that there's not one bad frame on an entrie roll of film is kind of remarkable, certainly fitting for the last of it's kind too.
Hi Steve I'm a student from ''Convitto Nazionale Cristoforo Colombo". Our teacher said that may 24th of June 2024 you are coming to Genova to Palazzo Ducale, is It true?
I've had this saved to my "Watch Later" playlist now since 2014-2015. Only now, whilst going through and cleaning out that list (which had over 1,100 videos!) do I get to watch and appreciate this gem. Thank you for this wonderful experience of your life. I hope that your life has been full of love and fulfillment since this was originally posted.
Back in the late 1970's....Nikkormat FT2. Any Nikkor lens. Sunny day. Polarizer filter. Hot chick with beautiful skin tone. Kodachrome 25 was my absolute, Absolute. ABSOLUTE hands down winner for wanting guaranteed beautiful, sharp, vibrant color (especially flesh tones) as I saw it through the lens. Printing on Cibachome was absolute killer.
