The subjective objectivity and dirty, confessional realism of the snapshot aesthetic completely enchant me. I love the ability of the camera to capture actual events with a sense of anachronistic realism. My goal is to create simple photographs where the attention is on the moment, but where the context remains an ambiguous pseudo-fiction with which you can imagine any narrative. This is my year in photography school.

I'm trying to build up the courage to go candid shooting downtown...everytime I've tried it seems like everyone's eyes are on you. Or, maybe that's just my paranoia? Who knows

I agree about your preference to candid vs posed. Posed shots look to forced most of the time!
There are some pretty cool doors in Winnipeg. At home I always take pictures of rocks...pretty boring
i like run down houses in the really sad neighbourhoods especially when people are still haingin out there
I was in Quebec City and became intrigued with doors/doorways also.
candid is the way to go. one of the reasons i would never be able to shoot a wedding. i hate having to pose people.
For some reason what you said reminded me about an old book I have that shows pictures of Winnipeg in the 50's and 60's. It's very gritty urban and interesting. I'm also really interested in Architecture; I hope we have to chance to take some pictures around PV soon!
