when will you come to terms with the fact that you are not miroslav tichy?
> MIROSLAV TICHY HAS BECOME FAMOUS in spite of his need for privacy. Born in 1926 in what is now the Czech Republic, Tichy studied painting at the Academy of Art in Prague until the Communist takeover in April 1945. Arrested for being “odd,” therefor subversive, Tichy spent many years in jails and prisons, until he was released in the 1970s. Upon his release, he wandered his small town in rags, pursuing his occupation as an artist photographing the female form in the streets. He made his cameras from tin cans, childrens spectacle lens and other junk he found on the street. He would return home each day to make prints on equally primitive equipment, making only one print from the negative he selected. He stole intimate glimpses of his subjects through windows and the fences of swimming pools as well as in the streets, sometimes finding himself in trouble with the police.

>photographing the female form in the streets.
That's a pretty innovative way of saying "creep shots".

>better wrap this piece of leather to look like a telephoto lens
It's like watching a chimp or 3 year old watching someone talk on the cellphone and holding a rock to its ear to try and imitate it.
Slavs really are subhuman!
>>2837487
It's a lens hood.
>>2837487
It is a working camera.
He intentionally made it to look like it's a non-working mock-up so people didn't realize they were being photographed.
i have one of this guys books
total creeper shit but they are really nice creeper pictures desu
>>2837485
You know hipsters, their destiny lies in marketing. If OP pushes this shit any more, they'll probably start selling "Tichy-Cams" for 2.000$ each.
You can get away with a lot in the streets if you act crazy.

Can you build a working camera from garbage? Have you ever even taken a photo anyone's cared about?
Please go back to the gear thread.

> Communist takeover in April 1945
The communists took over in February 1948.
>>2837564
Russians marched through and just did a bit of purging while they were at it.
Official institution of government was later.

Yes, literally anyone can if they don't care about image quality like a slav homeless subhuman.

Why build your own garbage camera when you can just buy a Sony?
>>2837571
No, that is actually not accurate, and he indeed studied until 1948.
>>2837443
He has some really good pictures tho
>>2837541
Sony could do it, why can't you?
>>2837443
well im not dead yet for one
>tfw that in 2016 you need to build cameras out of garbage in order to get some notoriety in photography
>>2839065
with his technique for creating homemade cameras, everything from the body, shutter and lens he practically reinvented the medium. tichy's photographs are so bad that they're good, much better than today's images which are held up by lofty words and low sentiments (see yale mfa)
