just glide
image notes: panning people in the middle of the night at the San Francisco International Airport (from my former archives)
I was taking pictures in black and white. Everyone else was using color. I was using Tri-X because I could shoot at night, and get shots by holding it real still, with just streetlights and so on. So these were things that I was playing with. But at the same time, a lot of my ideas were glamour ideas, because I wanted people to look good. So my portraits were about them in natural light, looking good, and looking in some way that had something to do with the reality of their world.

October 20, 2011It’s a sense of coming home that makes us run through the nights. Even with all the lights turned on in our modern wll lit up international airport society. Another gem, Sherri!
All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.
