BBC Knowledge (channel 407) is showing 'The Wonderful World of Albert Khan.' Fascinating series. The autochromes are beautiful.

Some of you asked for it – here it is. An exclusive interview with Jonathan van Smit also known as K_iwi. Referred by some as fearless, Jonathan hails from New Zealand, and is a Gweilo (as he proudly calls himself) street photographer in Hong Kong. His photographs are a stream of stark, grungy, noir-ish beauty. To accompany the interview, Jonathan has also compiled an exclusive essay of his choice photographs.

Can you tell us what cameras and tools you use to photograph and why you use them? Digital or Film?

"I use a Leica M9 and sometimes a Ricoh point & shoot. I don’t use film anymore as I can shoot 200 or even 300 frames on a good day which makes film too impractical. Very wide angle lenses are important to me, especially 15mm and 21mm. I shoot in RAW, and post-process with Aperture and Nix Silver Efex. Mostly, I increase contrast, dodge & burn quite a bit and sometimes increase grain too. I like rangefinders as they’re small, unobtrusive and I can see what’s walking into the frame so that limits the choice to a Leica even though they’re wildly expensive. I like the Leica form-factor too. I can focus them or change the shutter speed or aperture without even looking at the camera. The Leica shutter release is fast too. I know exactly when the shutter is going to trip, and it’s pretty much instantaneous."


totally an advert for M9!!! well it is totally true when you are doing street photography... film is just way too slow and impractical... plus digital post processing softwares are somewhat close to achieving BnW film characteristics... but I still love film!!! It really slows the user down.... and appreciate photography... unlike shoot/preview/delete cycle of a digital photograhy...

Thanks for bringing us this dialogue! kudos!!!
