  1. Kerry…
    Once again this is another beautiful shot. Do you go out often searching for images as you’ve been doing this week for BurnDiary?

  2. Tom, yes, that’s the thing I love most about it too. No doubt the black and white makes it so. The first thing I noticed were her deep red nails in his black hair as she stroked his head, and I may one day do something with it in color but this image begged to be black and white.

    Gordon, huge thank you. :)

    John Gladdy, definitely not set up, that’s how I found them. I never pose subjects, that takes the challenge away for me.

    Paul, not nearly often enough. When I travel I’m ‘looking’ more but I usually shoot in the same style as David, wherever I happen to be, whatever takes my eye. Usually I post am image to IG every day, but it has been wonderful to dedicate this week to revisiting many of the places I used to haunt when I first moved to New York. And I’m happy with the results. So much so I’ve decided to dedicate a few hours every day for the remainder of the summer to see what I can do.

  3. Kerry. WOW. Thats pretty close to still get a candid, with an iphone. Your practically standing over them by the look of it. You must have a cloak of invisibility.

  4. John, I can be bold when I see a picture I want and I often get this close to my subjects. My ‘real camera’ lens of choice is always a 28mm. In most cases I get a frame or two before they become aware of me, those are usually the ones that work. When they see me I ask them to carry on as they were. Sometimes we don’t even talk, a wink and a smile is enough. Other times I’ll flirt* a little and keep shooting. Sometimes they actually do relax and forget me, most times the good stuff is all over red rover but I’ll make a few more frames anyway. I very rarely have anyone get upset with me and love the freedom my camera gives me to approach people.

    *Flirting is my first language, whether they’re 3 or 93. It’s my personal belief everyone should flirt a little every day. It’s good for the soul. ;)

  5. Kerry, is your week over already? You charged Burn Diary with life. You have given those who will follow you both challenge and motivation.

    I suspect that this will better for you than it would for me, Kerry. If I tried it, I would get my ass kicked on a regular basis. ;-)
