Bruce Gilden, roaring a**hole, but great photographer.

Notice he uses an off camera flash. He converses with his subjects, not how I do it, but then he is in New York and I am in Kentucky.

1. He uses the flash as his primary source of light

As such it's essential to get it off the camera.

He also uses a Leica M6, which is a camera I've lusted over for decades, but never really saw fit to pony up the money to buy one since it wouldn't fulfill all my needs the way my Nikon SLR bodies have.

4. There's always sacrifices. I want the Ricoh GR, but I love the flexibility of the ILC.

2. Great faces! Such character. Thanks alfredo.

5. He's incredible

3. Yeah, if he would stick his camera in my face like that, he'd find it on the sidewalk

I consider that gross invasion of privacy if not out and out assault.

6. I don't like his people skills one bit, but the results are very good.

It might fly in NYC, but not in Tulsa or Denver.

7. Me, too, NV.

Not cool.

8. The guy in that second image looks like he's thinking about throwing a punch.

That's one of the things I find interesting about photography...I don't really know what he's thinking, although my mind wants to interpret the expression.

Still, he looks like he could certainly do some swatting and cussing out.
