"Look at me son " - Durham

An orginal work by afrittledfritz

HI, My name is Fritz Finlay. Most of my work centers around the city of Durham, NC as I try to reflect the people and landscapes that elope the area. Most, if not all of the close up portraits you see this week will have been taken in downtown Durham, shot on the street, and attributed to a stranger I saw walking down the sidewalk. Although I was not able to shoot a truly random sample of participants, what I was able to do, I think, is to capture the demographic and diversity of this city. Working in street photography allows me to present the scene as a raw image of what is in front of the lens. It enhances the dynamic of portraying the reality of the situation, rather than trying to manipulate the message and appearance of the subject, which I find to be really important when a story is being told. I hope you are able to see my photos for what they are, and the story they tell.

Many thanks to both of them!

Fire:

I don’t know why it’s so satisfying to watch what we made burn. I guess we have always loved fire. We’ve watched blue flame under a pan. We’ve heard the crack, pop and soft hiss of a match being struck. We’ve loved the roar of something larger, more impressive.

One of our best kept childhood secrets involves fire. Bored one day, we crept into the shed, looking for that telltale red warning sign. With matches in hand, lifted carefully from the top shelf (remember how you held the chair and I perched on top?), we struck a match and burned the afternoon’s boredom away with a can of WD­40, some singed hair and our names in fire on the floor.

Later on in life we sat on a beach, sun had set, bon fire raged. We told ghost stories and lost track of time. We were distracted and entranced. The fire got bigger, so did our smiles. We were so impressed with ourselves that the next day, when we visited that same beach, the ashes still impressed us.

Now we’re standing here and I can see the glee in your face. It’s lit up by the biggest fire we’ve lit yet. I can see your hands clenching in excitement, I can feel how energetic the fire makes you. Sometimes, when we’re like this, I wonder how grown up we really are.

"Strolling the In-Progress " - Yagon

An original work by Boris Lemon check out his Facebook and Website!

part 5:

Today, Yangon counts about 5 million inhabitants and according to certain studies it would reach up to 10 million in 2040.

To improve the standards of living and to be able to host double of its current population in 25 years, Yangon has to be developed, and is developing anyway. The challenges are enormous and it is time for the specialists to come up quickly with a proper urban plan and to initiate the development of the relevant infrastructures.

"Human Pressure " - Yagon

An original work by Boris Lemon check out his Facebook and Website!

part 4:

Last but not least, in 2012, the government cut the taxes on car importation. Before, only very rich people could afford a car and 80% of the motorized urban trips were done by bus. Today there is about 400 000 cars, Yangon is already very much congested, and every year, there’s almost 100 000 more!

"The beauty of Sewage River " - Yagon

An original work by Boris Lemon check out his Facebook and Website!

part 3:

Some studies estimated that early 2014, about 40% of Yangon population had access to running water and less than 10% had sewage infrastructure. The foreign money is arriving faster than before but there is no accurate urban planning yet and the specialists are warning the country’s leaders about the danger of such a fast and uncontrolled development which could threaten both city dwellers and urban landscapes.

"Mobile, the New Wave " - Yagon

An original work by Boris Lemon check out his Facebook and Website!

part 2:

Few years ago there was barely any ATM in Yangon and not at all in the rest of the country. 3 years ago a sim card would cost 500$, today they are available for 2$ and everyone can afford a smartphone. Things are changing, and changing fast. But when it comes to infrastructure, it obviously takes more time. Rome didn’t get built in one day!

"EphemeralPatterns " - Yagon

An original work by Boris Lemon check out his Facebook and Website!

part 1:

The country has been pretty close to foreigners, importation and investment for the past 5 decades. It opened up partially in the 90’s when Ne Win’s isolation rule got to an end. Then, in 2011 it opened up more clearly after the first “democratic“ election in the past 50 years, leading to the election of Thein Sein and the international sanctions got lifted.
