Finding inspiration
Hola You. My friend Diego Briceño-Orduz, a Canadian-Columbian filmmaker, sent me these links to the Magnum In Motion photo essays. Diego is an extraordinarily brave and talented filmmaker. His last film, Souvenir Kids, was about child prostitution and the tourism sex trade in Acapulco. Diego could write a book on documentary filmmaking ethics, he’s experienced some very dark, challenging situations. Here are the links Diego sent me, well worth exploring. As I sweat, looking for the topic of my next film, these provide so much inspiration.
Bruce Gilden is a stalwart of street photography:

McCurry is well known, but listening to him describe how he perceives light makes all the difference:

This is the most powerful of all the essays, so prepare yourself emotionally:
