Jonathan Greenwald: Conscientious Street Photographer

By Chantal Stone Street photography has never come easy for me, especially capturing people without them noticing me. It's a style of photography that I love, but I feel way too self-conscious to be stealthy, and often times I miss great shots by poorly framing or exposing incorrectly before scampering off before anyone looks at me. I so greatly admire those photographers who bravely achieve what I can not, which is why I jumped at the opportunity to chat with NYC street photographer <a href="http://jonathangreenwald.com/" target="_new">Jonathan Greenwald</a>. On his photoblog, <a href="http://jonathangreenwald.com/pblog/" target="_new">Shrued</a>, Jonathan shares his view of the city where he now lives, New York, and the city in which he will soon reside, Toronto. Full of beauty, surprise, natural wonder, and architectural triumph, Jonathan's photoblog is a virtual tour of the non-touristy sides of these two cities. But each city has a different side, a side we as outsiders don't often see, and it is through his camera that Jonathan is able to bring light and truth to what goes often unnoticed in two of North America's largest cities. With <a href="http://jonathangreenwald.com/portfolio/slideshowjg.html" target="_new">two projects</a>, called "Signs of The Times" and "Forgotten," Jonathan reveals the homeless of New York and Toronto. Recently Jonathan and I talked about his project photographing the homeless. Chantal Stone: Why did you start photographing homeless people? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisUxq0oU7zrAQvzThr7_hCX-4s71IFh7IaC3TAy83_63lKwXNUkkKPw5P0BJoglkuS-TB8tKITQzPTGQ9YFAT5LJWqZeJtdb9yE5xHtXsIm-kahUgusb8E0KuHodTd0Rpf2grgUwFkpN4/s1600-h/IMAGE1~Spare+a+Smile,+Jonathan+Greenwald.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045983743821185650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisUxq0oU7zrAQvzThr7_hCX-4s71IFh7IaC3TAy83_63lKwXNUkkKPw5P0BJoglkuS-TB8tKITQzPTGQ9YFAT5LJWqZeJtdb9yE5xHtXsIm-kahUgusb8E0KuHodTd0Rpf2grgUwFkpN4/s200/IMAGE1~Spare+a+Smile,+Jonathan+Greenwald.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" /></a>Jonathan Greenwald: I think the idea came from my fascination for photographing people. In my earlier work, I rarely ever photographed someone I didn't know. I was always fearful of the repercussions and would rather avoid contact with my subjects. It wasn't until I was photographing for a little while that I decided to photograph people on the streets of NYC and Toronto. I love human interaction and sometimes the quickest movement, facial expression, or reaction could be captured by the camera and tell a wonderful story. I also enjoy how you never see the same thing twice when you photograph people and the same photograph can tell me one story, but tell the next observer an entirely different story. With everyday people, the story can be anything. With the homeless, the story is always the same; desperation, despair, and poverty. When photographing the homeless, sadness and compassion is a constant theme. CS: Do you interact with the people you photograph? Ask for permission, or say something afterwards? JG: In just about every situation, there is no interaction. I never give the subject the impression I'm taking their photograph and almost always look past them when I [shoot]. They probably think I'm taking their photograph, but when I fail to make eye contact with them, they probably think I was photographing something or someone behind them. If someone does catch me in the act, I do my best to ignore them. I learned this method very early on from a good friend of mine, Nick Rhodes. When he and I first walked around New York CIty, I was pointing my camera up at the wonderful architecture and he was pointing his lens in peoples' faces. It worried me at first, but I quickly got over it and tried it myself. CS: That's an interesting technique. For a lot of people, shooting people on the street can be very intimidating. JG: I am always asked abut my method and I always give the same advice: never make eye contact. It changes everything, especially the way you photograph people. Make eye contact behind the camera. CS: You're often right in front of the people you're photographing. It's amazing they're not looking right into the camera. JG: I also tend to hold the camera at obscure angles so they don't realize I'm even taking a photo. I use a battery grip for the [Canon] 20D which makes portrait shooting a bit easier; I hold the camera from the bottom and snap away. I was toying with the idea of holding the camera around my neck, walking into a crowd, and snapping away with a remote control. It would be interesting to see the results. CS: Do you ever feel guilty about photographing homeless people and not giving them anything back—or do you give anything? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqansxgQMUMu46vt3Pg0dhrYR9mOQpNGjdosfvgMECOimlXNP7u_UpJiTc-2wpicgH0UnTVDe4lTRe9_skWTnDxVucFD-3LGLZWUwk2OY9XjToleKGRxuwTx5zUnmxW_otM4Mj33X0J6I/s1600-h/IMAGE2~Please+Be+Kind,+Jonathan+Greenwald.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045991637971075714" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqansxgQMUMu46vt3Pg0dhrYR9mOQpNGjdosfvgMECOimlXNP7u_UpJiTc-2wpicgH0UnTVDe4lTRe9_skWTnDxVucFD-3LGLZWUwk2OY9XjToleKGRxuwTx5zUnmxW_otM4Mj33X0J6I/s320/IMAGE2~Please+Be+Kind,+Jonathan+Greenwald.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" /></a>JG: I struggle with that very question every time I take a photograph. The way I look at it, I am documenting what I see and I don't make light of the situation. I am not in the area long enough to interact with my subjects and if I did, it would likely change the way I photograph people. What I most like about my photographs is the spontaneity and that would be lost if I began interacting with my subjects. I may just continue capturing people, whether homeless or not, without interacting with them. I don't exploit anyone and prefer to show people in their natural [environment]. CS: Do you find differences between the cities? Are there more homeless in one city compared to the other? JG: I am finding a significant difference between the homeless in New York City and Toronto. I have yet to draw relevant conclusions, but my preliminary assessment is this: the homeless in Toronto are friendlier and more personable. And there is [one] big difference: age. My wife lives in downtown Toronto. Walk in either direction on Queen Street West, and you can encounter as many as four or five homeless kids on a single block. Most are dressed like punks and have signs that tout everything from solicitations for marijuana research to beer. Perhaps it's the amount of foot traffic on that one street in comparison to the multiple access points in New York City. CS: You mention age. What about differences in the level of desperation? JG: I think the age difference plays a role in the desperation of homeless people in New York and Toronto. Without knowing someone's situation, it is often easy to see the countless years of struggle and pain etched on the face of an older man or woman. The same struggles do not exist on a younger person. So desperation is much more prevalent in New York. CS: I love the contrast here: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz3XREaGRCBaUJGR_qieHy-8bWs8JLLYvMCdCAsIsy8dD4JTyhyphenhyphenwzMSDNih_dVKOwV1qi-gTD_3n1eMfkE9T4h6CKfvJ0t60ukeDG5y62HEitbM5tX9jAtXykGhNDQvLMns4P32veM06w/s1600-h/IMAGE3~Hungry+and+Homeless,+Jonathan+Greenwald.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045992454014861970" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz3XREaGRCBaUJGR_qieHy-8bWs8JLLYvMCdCAsIsy8dD4JTyhyphenhyphenwzMSDNih_dVKOwV1qi-gTD_3n1eMfkE9T4h6CKfvJ0t60ukeDG5y62HEitbM5tX9jAtXykGhNDQvLMns4P32veM06w/s400/IMAGE3~Hungry+and+Homeless,+Jonathan+Greenwald.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a> JG: Park Avenue has some of the nicest buildings in New York. Most are businesses, but a few apartments line this very busy part of the city. It's not uncommon to see a homeless person on the same corner as an affluent business person. And the lack of attention is remarkable. As if this woman does not exist. CS: Would you call it indifference, or something more negative? JG: Indifference is probably the right word. Most affluent people would prefer the homeless get a job and or find a different corner to squat. The former is not as easy as the latter. As a culture, especially in NYC, we tend to think of the homeless as a non-entity. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj22DmtmUpPfsWuJ10-fputg8N9t_7NRWbh1WLQJWPz0O54j3t6M7cbkiT6mCxEY-2SumE1g2mPeRWLWFTvL3fUGXI6wMPS6dDRW79cbmLTqEyd4TjwRF_ecM7exEYMdgXR-uHEeubDAPc/s1600-h/IMAGE4~Please+Hlep,+Jonathan+Greenwald.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045993635130868386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj22DmtmUpPfsWuJ10-fputg8N9t_7NRWbh1WLQJWPz0O54j3t6M7cbkiT6mCxEY-2SumE1g2mPeRWLWFTvL3fUGXI6wMPS6dDRW79cbmLTqEyd4TjwRF_ecM7exEYMdgXR-uHEeubDAPc/s320/IMAGE4~Please+Hlep,+Jonathan+Greenwald.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" /></a>CS: This photo, of the man sitting by the trash, definitely says non-entity. JG: This gentleman was sitting in this chair, apparently sleeping, for hours on end. I noticed him in the morning and then again when I snapped this photo later on in the afternoon. This is the only time I really wanted to ask what happened, but refrained. He was sitting on the corner of 42nd Street and 5th Avenue. Quite an ideal spot for foot traffic. And he is just as indifferent about the garbage as the pedestrians were about him. However, I will say he was getting his fair share of change. CS: Are you still photographing the homeless? Is the project a work in progress? JG: I don't think I'll ever stop, and for several reasons. One, like the affluent, the homeless are very much a part of our society and, unlike the affluent, should not go unnoticed. I don't want to be known as the homeless photographer, rather someone who captures distinct moments in the life of a New Yorker, or Torontonian for that matter. If I were to publish a book of my work, I don't think the homeless photos could stand on their own, at least not at the moment. Yet, even as I continue to take more photos of the homeless, it's the contrast in our daily lives that tells the entire story. A photograph of a homeless person is a powerful image on its own, but when that same person is photographed with his or her fellow man or woman in the background, paying no attention to the despair only a few feet away, that to me is a much more powerful image. We always hear about campaigns to help the homeless, but ignorance is never mentioned in any of them. I don't want to change the way everyone thinks about the homeless situation, rather open their eyes and [help them] recognize there really is a problem. In short, like all of my images, this project will always be a work in progress as long as there are subjects to photograph. CS: What's next for you, photographically? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUmghxEeyjKjU3GtkItwz0Rr1eW1doq3JJyo9Io1BExYzrv2vT5cm53tQW6wPbrWXehXmMwwSP8OBaq753l2uY4KWeFWBliw9xLe5o3rS2D75C1nlgAnnIyZnUpD03_zPzMhL7ebUtlr0/s1600-h/IMAGE5~Cup+and+Cane,+Jonathan+Greenwald.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046033595506590386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUmghxEeyjKjU3GtkItwz0Rr1eW1doq3JJyo9Io1BExYzrv2vT5cm53tQW6wPbrWXehXmMwwSP8OBaq753l2uY4KWeFWBliw9xLe5o3rS2D75C1nlgAnnIyZnUpD03_zPzMhL7ebUtlr0/s200/IMAGE5~Cup+and+Cane,+Jonathan+Greenwald.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" /></a>JG: I'm hooked on photographing people, although I don't think I can lock myself up in a studio for countless hours staging shots. I don't think I have the patience for it, but that could change in the future. So in the meantime, I will continue to walk the streets of NYC and Toronto, expecting the people of these great cities continue to go about their day to day lives, giving me an opportunity to capture every moment. People are fascinating subjects because you never know what to expect and every moment can either make us laugh hysterically or feel immense sorrow. That's the beauty of photography. It's a moment in time and it's up to the viewer to recreate that moment in their minds without ever knowing or meeting the person in the photograph. <div style="text-align: left;">Posted by: CHANTAL STONE <form method="LINK" action="http://chantalstone.my-expressions.com"><div style="text-align: right;"><input value="Chantal's Site" type="submit"> </div></form></div>

Not Now, Dear, I've Just Been Killed By a High-Powered Rifle

Recently, a 20-year-old man was <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1122061deer1.html" target="_new">arrested in Wisconsin</a> for having sex with a dead deer. Scott Adams has already <a href="http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2007/03/oh_deer.html" target="_new">commented</a> on some of the ironies and difficulties of this situation, but he missed one additional dimension of the crime, probably because he does not live here. See, I think additional charges should be levied against the perpetrator for Gross Inconsideration of the Stereotyping of Others (GISO). Did the guy who had sex with the dead deer stop to think that what he's doing slanders all the others of us who live in Wisconsin, by encouraging people from other states to think that Wisconsin is a backward place where people do things like bugger dead deer? I feel harmed by that, and I think he should pay extra because of it, when it comes time to atone for the crime. GISO statutes should be set up for other acts and crimes that blatantly conform to stereotypes, too. For instance, when a black person actually steals a watermelon, or a boss has an affair with his secretary, or a Jewish person does something that is outrageously money-grubbing, or a photographer agressively hits on an underage model, it is not just that one act that should be punished, but the harm done by reinforcing, yet again, stereotypes that are already hoary and jaded. Chris Rock said in one of his bits that when a crime is reported on TV, he thinks to himself, please don't let it be a young black man! It's always a young black man! When the criminal turns out to be a young black man, hasn't he harmed Chris Rock as well as his victim? Young black men should be thinking, yeah, sure, I could pull a knife and steal that kid's Air Jordans, but wouldn't it be more refreshing for everyone if I were to buy a latte and settle in with the latest Malcolm Gladwell title instead? I was walking down the street once with my brother, and a dog trotted by heading for a fire hydrant. As the dog lifted its leg and peed on the fire hydrant, my brother rolled his eyes and said, "God, that is such a cliché." Polygamy doesn't really do much harm to the public reputation in, say, Hawaii, but shouldn't a guy think twice before doing it in Utah? Nobody should walk around in public dressed in greasy pin-striped coveralls spattered with pig blood, but it's a greater affront to decency when they're dressed that way shambling down a dirt road in rural Virginia. Racist petty-dictator sheriffs are bad anywhere, but especially Texas. Having sex with a dead deer would strike me as being a less serious crime in, say, New Mexico, or Florida. Nobody is going to think less of Santa Fe because of it, or persistently connect such an act to the recreational opportunities in Orlando. But here in Wisconsin we are more vulnerable to unfavorable modifications of our national reputation, since, apart from cheese (and California now makes more of it), beer (Schlitz, Blatz, Pabst—all gone now) and the Packers (who haven't exactly set the NFL on fire in recent years), we really don't have a national reputation. What little we have is easily sullied. Whatever the deer-buggerer's penalty was, it should be upped by another 50%, sez me, for—pardon the expression—the stain on the honor of the State.
