Matt Weber Color, Subway

NYC 2010

I finally get comfortable with shooting color and Fuji in it’s corporate wisdom decides to kill the film that I’ve been using. I understand the need for each and every emulsion to turn a profit when they have their board meetings. There are other benefits to continuing a “Pro” line of film. Pros are the ones most likely to win awards and they will normally be easy to cajole into expressing their gratitude to a certain film. I know that the tiny difference between this film and Kodak’s 800 Portra will not make anyone sympathetic to my plight, but most photographers are very particular about how and what they shoot with…

Matt Weber Kids & Teens, Subway

NYC 2010

Hey who am I to judge this kid’s style. If he wants his pants to fall down so we can see his boxer’s or wear his sneakers without laces it’s cool. 18 karat gold mouth, probably not the best thing in the long run, but once again, I’ll reserve judgement for the time being, cause I remember when letting one’s hair grow past his shoulder was radical. The only thing that sucks, is the gang shit which has these teens choosing Blood vs. Crip  when they’re still in junior high. I think the wrong color bandanna can get a kid killed these days. When we were kids we just listened to the Grateful Dead, instead of feeling Grateful not to be dead!
