Wonderful. Sounds like a Mary Karr memoir-my own early life too. The gritty, hard, yes nasty images are the real stuff seen by somebody not trying to do the fashion. Getting older, getting closer is a thing too. Carry on with the magic of photography in showing what you see.
I like the perspective that Bruce can still demonstrate that he can seek consent with subjects of people. I will still agree that his works can be controversial. Particularly when he does projects with the homeless community and the drug epidemic across America. I admire for himself being critical of his works. And like revered photographers, it can take a while to get a great image. And I would not like anyone, including myself; for beating themselves up that they cannot get “banger” and good images everytime. Many street photographers do come home with rolls of images and hundreds of RAW files. By finding a great image, one must go out there and take pictures!
Always enjoy hearing from Bruce G, and there's something extra when the talk is recent enough to feel like we inhabit the same world. P.S. I'd love to see a comic book of Bruce's adventures by Mike Allred 💎🦘
