The Homo Photographicus
May 13, 2008
Full Title: The Homo Photographicus - a guide to the contemporary professional photographer.
Before giving a brief introduction to the Homo Photographicus some rather old frames - shot on Ilford FP4.
Stefan and I went out because we can. What a cutie-smile… aww…
Bernd joined in. He loves the cameras.
Stefan showing off his impressive burping skills.
So Eva, Stefan and I were hanging out at Naschmarkt… having Dürüm, burping and beer.
There’s quite a lot of dust on those frames for some not so obvious reasons…
More of Eva because the light was so lovely.
Back to 400TX - I’m not too fond of FP4.
Parking cones indicate that some serious business is going on.
On my way home I met those two young fellows. Für den Hoond - die haben ganz fest geshuffelt.
She was argueing with her dog. I told her that dogs are the better human beings - we both smiled.
Waiting for the film to dry… beer.
I figured that my second series is going to be about bins.
One of those scenes I like. Yay!
So, finally , a few frames featuring the Homo Photographicus in his natural environment. Shot on Kodak Plus-X 125.
The silverback giving the obviously younger and inferiour Homo Photographicus a stern look.
The Homo Photographicus at his favorite activity: Hunting.
Free Tibet - because it’s hip to be square.
That Homo Photographicus is definitely ready for some serious action.
Tight ass. Tight camera.
Hope you liked some,
take care,
Bernhard

i once tried to get a photo of one of those Homo Photographicus(es?), i think he really was experienced in getting away from other people with cameras, because he managed to keep a distance of 10 m to me for about half a kilometer or something like this, incredible.
but thanks to guys like him i started to shoot film, because at some point you´re afraid you could look like one of those and avoid to cary around a dslr in public, even though your lense is under 30 cm and not white ;)

http://blog.bernhardwolf.at/img/blog/080513/IMG010237.jpg reminds me of a rapper posing while out walking his dog. Have a look at the pose in http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/07_03/50centAP3007_468×527.jpg and you’ll see what I mean. At least, you will if Austria is covered in bloody American “hip-hop culture” like Australia is.
http://blog.bernhardwolf.at/img/blog/080513/IMG010058.jpg is a gem, love it.

I love how every single one of them that noticed you have a “why the hell are you taking my picture?” expression. I think that almost counts as ironic.

Nice entry. I agree with Kirby, I find this “nasty look” all those very serious photographers gave you.. very amusing. ^^ Yeah amusing is the word.
“So Eva, Stefan and I were hanging out at Naschmarkt… having Dürüm, burping and beer.”
Btw, with all due respect I’ve got nothing to do with this, I just had orange juice… TZ!
Kewl entry, I really like the photo of the woman and her dog. :) Sweet.
