Hit The Streets 24: Reunions with Chris Porsz

For the past few years Chris Porsz had wandered tirelessly the streets of Peterborough, England to find familiar faces he photographed nearly 40 years earlier in order to shoot a reunion. Please enjoy my conversation with my good friend Chris about his Reunions project and book. 

Chris Porsz is a paramedic by night and a street photographer by day. When he is not exploring other large European cities with his camera, he wanders tirelessly the streets of Peterborough, England in his quest to find familiar faces he photographed 30 years earlier in order to shoot a reunion. For Chris, it’s all about the love for mankind and the desire to record the history of his hometown one photograph at a time. Finally, his project was completed with a series of over 100 reunions and a book recently published.

Please visit his website to see more of Chris’ work and order his Reunions book.

Hit The Streets 14: Photo Faves with Steve Brokaw

Today is a new Photo Faves segment with fashion and street photographer Steve Brokaw. He shares his favorite subjects, locations, piece of gear, photography books, etc.

Who is Steve?

When I'm not doing my day job thing I'm an accomplished photographer based out of Indianapolis Indiana. 

My focus in photography is commercial & editorial fashion and portraits.  My second focus is street photography, but this is mainly for giggles.  For street photography I use all types of cameras & formats including analog cameras ranging from 35, 120 and Polaroid formats.

I operate out of M10 Studio in downtown Indianapolis.
