Two Generations of Photography
Tom Schneider and Jaron Schneider present a collection of fine art photos taken over two generations. Captured mainly on film, a majority were even taken using the same camera. Enjoy street photography that spans two lifetimes and stretches across the globe, from Tokyo to Prague, Santiago to Santa Cruz, New York to Mexico, and Portland to Kamakura.
On Image Making
“My father and I have different approaches to how we like to discuss photography. My father always believed the camera to be the least important aspect of the conversation, instead focusing on darkroom work, editing, or framing. That didn’t mean he didn’t love his cameras, only that he felt it photography often was reduced to equipment. And while I agree that the camera isn’t what makes a photo, it is inherently important to the image-making process. To that end, Tom’s photos are arranged in a simple gallery together while mine are arranged by the camera they were shot on. Tom speaks of his work well after the photo is developed while I speak of it more in the process of the initial shutter press. Together, I think we tell a complete story.”
