Raw, emotion, the heart, the decisive moment, light, shadow, feeling, expression, power, abstraction, ambiguity, desire, multiple meanings???
What makes a photograph strong, what separates a picture to make it special, what makes it great? Great pictures always have a magic to them, a unique spark that connects them emotionally to the viewer.
Tonight am watching "The Public Eye" tonight, with Joe Pesci playing a Weegee like 40s New York Street photographer, named "The Great Bernzinni". The photos in the movie are by the real Weegee, they have so much raw powerful emotion to them, the pics burn off the screen. The movie is very good with a wonderful performance by Pesci. Bernzinni is a sad, lonely creative man with real drive to make pictures a passion to express, Pesci makes him so human, so vulnerable.
