As I've mentioned many times, I like a wide range of photography, and like to flatter myself that I can be "convinced" (in the sense of persuaded or won over) by outstanding accomplishments even in genres I don't usually find immediately rewarding. However, I can't deny that there are some kinds of photography that are central to why I like the medium in the first place. Probably the core of my "likes" in this respect might be street photography in the classic Leica M tradition, favoring prime lenses, black-and-white images, and an approach to the world that is without preconceptions.
Those words are appropriated from Aaron C. Greenman's description of himself.
Here's the trailer to a film called AcuityColorGrain currently in production for 2015 release, about Aaron's work.
He's also an interesting combination of traditional methods and contemporary marketing—his books, for instance, are available for the iPad and Mac. Here's his website. He's perhaps a bit too closely identified with the Leica fan community, but hey, whatever works; people need support, moral support too.
