MY REVIEW

I think the title for Walk With Me by Debra Schoenberger speaks for itself, photographs taken on the fly. Expensive cameras are not required to save the moment for future enjoyment. I think most of us have a trusty cellphone with us.

I have been shooting photography for a long time and my camera has been with me longer than my Kindle, though both are now ‘a must have on me all the time’ companion.

I’m sure there is a photograph in Walk With Me that will make you smile, maybe create a frown, or provoke some heavy thinking.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Walk With Me by Debra Schoenberger.

Book Description:

Whenever I’m asked “which is the best camera?” I pretty much respond: “the one you have on you.” In fact, most of the images in this book were taken with my cell phone simply because I always have it with me.

This is not only a book about street photography but a visual diary, or collection of quirky, unusual and sometimes just plain weird photos I’ve taken over the course of the last decade.

As a street photographer, I need to be an assiduous walker. My sneakers often take me to little known, hidden corners, seaweed strewn (and sometimes stinky) beaches and really cool back alleys of my rather small island city of Victoria, BC.

I’ve also included images of curiosities I’ve seen throughout my travels.

Everyone sees the world differently and this is my collection of the quirkiness that I call life.

INTERVIEW WITH DEBRA SCHOENBERGER

​Dorothea Lange – Documentary photographer

 

Doroth​​ea​ ​Lange was an American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Lange’s photographs humanized the consequences of the Great Depression and influenced the development of documentary photography.

During World War II, Lange photographed the evacuation and internment of Japanese Americans in camps. Her photos captured life in the internment camps and the often raw emotions displayed by the people who were uprooted from their homes and forced to live in the camps.

​Desiree Dolron – Dutch photographer and filmmaker

 

Her oeuvre ranges from documentary photography and still lifes to portraiture and film.

 

      

 

 

Vivian Maier – street photographer

 

Vivian was a nanny for most of her life and on her days off she would walk around Chicago snapping shots of people and things of interest.  She consistently took photos over the course of 50 years and put together one of the most fascinating collections of American life in the second half of the 20th century.

 

      

 

 

​These women all have very unique styles.  Studying their respective portfolios ​opens my eyes to new possibilities and ways of seeing the world.  How I would have loved to been able to work side-by-side with them!  Vivian Maier had a cheeky sense of humour and it shows through in her photographs.

Debra Schoenberger aka #girlwithcamera

“My dad always carried a camera under the seat of his car and was constantly taking pictures. I think that his example, together with pouring over National Geographic magazines as a child fuelled my curiosity for the world around me.

I am a documentary photographer and street photography is my passion. Some of my images have been chosen by National Geographic as editor’s favourites and are on display in the National Geographic museum in Washington, DC. I also have an off-kilter sense of humour so I’m always looking for the unusual.
