thing is @patrick. you cant wb and colour calibrate FILM images unless you shuv them through a computer, and i doubt real artists will do that (and you have do do it for every film and different box of paper) (because they are all slightly different)

Was so stoked to check out Fstoppers and see this on here today. Glenn Friedman has been my favorite photographer since I was a kid… Growing up skateboarding, going to punk shows, and listening to hip hop I always could relate to this guy who was involved with it decades before I was. I’m really happy you guys shared this on here, it just made my whole day.

Drink a lot of soda so they call me Dr Pepper…one of the best and most inspiring pieces you guys have posted (outside of the FS originals of course and the Jersey Cast shoot). What an extraordinary time and props to Glen for capturing it. I see the common thread from your previous features on Brownie Harris/Bergman/Hurley in that trust and access to your subjects lead to unique, intimate and thus memorable shots.

nah i reckon he’s just found hipstamatic and reprocessed his old pics :P
its a really personal video for me as i got into photography/video through skating, i enjoyed filming it more then stills and it kinda went from there for me. Subject and passion = great pics weather they be technical or not. plus Shepard fairy for good mix! woo :)

Oh and some of you may recognize Shepard Fairey who is sharing this exhibit. He’s best known for designing the Andre The Giant Obey stickers and the Obama Hope posters you probably used on your facebook :) Good things come out of Charleston, SC!
