Eric\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Note<\/strong>: Streettogs Gallery is an on-going feature and intiative by Manila-based street photographer\u00c2\u00a0A.G. De Mesa<\/a>. Check out more info\u00c2\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

A.G.:\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>I always defined street photography as “Photographing people in a public place with or without permission”. \u00c2\u00a0That is how I go about shooting but when I encountered the work of William Eggleston, my definition shattered.<\/p>\n

It seemed that his work doesn’t fit how I understood and read about photography. His photos are so simple, mundane, and very uninteresting. So much so that I think Eggleston’s War with the obvious<\/em> is the anti-thesis of Bresson’s philosophy\u00c2\u00a0The Decisive Moment.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/em>Luckily, I stumbled upon this diagram posted by iN-Public<\/a> photographer Nick Turpin<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0through his blog sevensevennine<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0This\u00c2\u00a0diagram helped me understood that Eggleston is in between Fine Art and Street and just within the confines of Documentary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Which brings us to this weeks’s streettog gallery feature, Mikhail Palinchak Jr. His work,\u00c2\u00a0Lost Faces,\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>is on the same vein as that of Eggleston but quirkier. Urban settings showing human reactions. His collection varies from wise use of light, popping colors, literal smiles, and forced perspective showing the expression a place. It becomes somewhat sort of game what emotions these lost faces are trying to convey. Mikhail is part of Eggleston’s war with the obvious by actually showing us something that is not what it looks like.<\/p>\n

Mikhail has this to say about Lost Faces:<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Lost faces lies the idea of a\u00c2\u00a0personification\u00c2\u00a0of a city . Often people say that this or that particular city has its own face, that a particular city is different. If you think about this a bit more, you will have to ask, “What does this face of the city looks like?” To answer this question, I decided to search for a tangible and\u00c2\u00a0recognizable\u00c2\u00a0face to shoot…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
