CUBA. Baracoa. 2008. Siamese cats are so rare and precious in Cuba, they are often kept on leashes to keep them from running away.

Assignment 6 - Influence
I was influenced by the works of Photographer Rebecca Norris Webb. I started taking photos, inspired by the landscapes she captures in her photos and the way she projects landscapes or objects beyond walls, often windows. In her series of works, she mainly includes photographs that capture a dreamy and mysterious atmosphere by capturing the reflections in windows and mirrors, as well as things beyond them, on one screen. Looking at her works, I felt that she was projecting something of herself and really containing the message she wanted to convey. I got an idea from that and took photos with the theme 'Beyond something'. The photos I took were superficially focused on one object, but I tried to capture meaning in things beyond that. So, when you look beyond the object in focus, there are various images contained therein. Even if you can't see it clearly, there is something beyond it. As we live our lives, we pay a lot of attention to even trivial things, get stressed, and are influenced by them. Sometimes we put a lot of effort into one thing and become very frustrated when we fail at it. But in fact, if we look a little further and think about the big picture, we may realize that in the end it was just a small dot in our life. So, I tried to capture a variety of images with the hope that people would not just focus on looking ahead but think about things beyond that.

My journey with photography began long before I ever held a camera in my hand. It was in my living room, watching my dad’s slide shows. When they were over, my brothers would say “Great,” and I would say “More!”
Cut to 2012. I was intrigued by a new street photography club. It became apparent to me at that first meeting that I’d always been a street photographer in my mind, seeing the world through moments and frames. What began as a passion for observation now had a creative purpose. And fortuitously, this is where I was approached about starting what became the Miami Street Photography Festival. As a person who never took a class, it was such a gift to learn from the diversity of submissions to the competition and from the experience and talent of our featured guests.
In our initial year, the founders submitted work. We didn’t have ranked awards then, but a few were chosen as Best In Show. I was bowled over to have Alex Webb, Rebecca Norris Webb, and Maggie Steber select the photo below. It validated that what I see can also be enjoyed by others and certainly did a bit for my confidence.
2012
When I look back at some of my early street work between 2012 and 2014, I find there was a consistent graphic quality involving grids, shapes, stripes, and leading lines.

I’ve always been reluctantly comfortable getting fairly close and embracing the intimacy that can be captured that way. But, from the beginning, what attracted me most were themes of quirkiness, humor, sentimentality, and solitude.

Even when shooting political events, protests, and sports, I often approach them from a street photography perspective.

Blogpost #8
Alex Webb is a full member of Magnum Photos famous for his use of vibrant colors and complex, sometimes chaotic, compositions. He began his career as a professional photojournalist in 1974, the same year as he graduated from Harvard University and joined Magnum two years later. He started off shooting small town life in black and white in the southern US, Caribbean, and Mexico.

Inspired by his engagement in Latin American and Caribbean cultures, Webb transitioned to color film photography in 1979. He then extensively travelled across the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa and other far corners of the earth.
Alex Webb has published 17 photography book, among which The Suffering of light, Webb's first comprehensive monograph, gathers many of his iconic photos featuring intense color and lighting over the past 30 years.

Street scene. Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. 1996.
Waves, Webb's latest photobook, records the isolated life of Alex Webb and his partner Rebecca Norris Webb during the pandemic at Cape Cod, where he had spent many of his childhood summers. During this period of time, Webb' subject switched from vibrant city life to soft landscape and the subtle flow of tide, wind, and water. He used mild colors instead of highly saturated ones, rendering the mind-calming escape from modern life.
