“Still Shooting In Black And White”
Everyone loves street photography and Rob shares some of the mistakes and some of the wins while shooting a series of street portraits with a 4×10 panorama film camera in a rough part of town.

Fabulous!
Those photos are remarkable. I realize how difficult it is to produce those. And connect with you subjects.
Hope Ave. at Kenilworth Ave. N. I looked it up. Agreed: a gritty area.
That’s a helluva lot of work you did for a master’s degree!
I’m sure looking forward to your next story.
Thanks a million. I’m loving your channel.
That project of street portraiture is an incredible tour de force. Even without printing everything for the show.
Thanks for the wealth of detail in your story(s). You definitely win the 2024 Nobel Prize for humility.
I lived in Hamilton ‘80-81 and the guys’ uniform then was the red & black checked jac-shirt now known as the Canadian tuxedo.
Quite the place. When meteorological conditions back then were “just wrong”, what I called a killer smog moved in (winter time).
Nice story; great commentary ..thank you!
Very enjoyable episode. Thanks. Did you consider using a roll film back for the 4 x 10? Or switching between the latter and the 5 x 7? In any case, there are some excellent portraits here, and you have certainly captured the context (which suggests "environmental portraits" might be the most accurate term). And I, too, would like to hear about your work with 8 x 10.
Awesome video. Your stories are always interesting.
Enjoyed the story, thanks.
Whoa! Best stories and photos yet. And I’m only 40% through. It’s great these stories are being preserved. Thanks, Rob!
That was a moving story, I enjoyed hearing about your subjects. Life is always moving and we capture these vignettes, these moments in time. My mentor always told me to capture life as it is, to be in and among the people. Sadly he is now gone as well. Your experience also highlights the benefits and pitfalls of committing to a non standard format. I’ve been teaching younger photographers how to mat their work since they had previously only shown their work on insta and now want to display prints. Love the black book, that could be its own workshop!
What do you do for self protection when shooting in hostile environments?
I am interested in 8×10. You mentioned your experience was sad story. Why?
wow I didn't see the "ends up being murdered" coming
Very interesting enjoyed the content. I’ve been shooting street but want to get more engaged with the subjects.
Love the idea of large format street portraits. I have to ask why your images appear to be tight on the subject, i.e. no space above the head, house…. Is this a particular personal style? Thanks.
Impressive story, great photographs. Now book from your diary/notepad !!!
