Response to I want to spend the next year of my life emulating this guy's work. Does that make me lame?

from ed (ekang@cse.nd.edu)
Hey guys! The funny thing is this:

1) Eolo has never gone to commercial "photo school". He's been taking photographs for two years by his own admission. 2) Eolo uses a 35mm Nikon shooting Ilford XP2 for B&W and various standard color negative emulsions. His only lens is a sigma 105ex macro. 3) He shoots his stuff in random places and doesn't have anything akin to a real studio. 4) Most of his stuff is merely done with reflectors, hardly any flash.

That's what really impresses me about his work - it's almost entirely based on his raw vision. He's just a really talented guy, and it's not like he has anything better in terms of circumstance over what I have at this moment.

It's work like his that makes me think about what I'm doing - always telling me in the back of my head: he can do this with an nikon 35mm SLR on film you have and one macro lens. Why aren't you doing the same?
