It hit me when being a few feet away from him and hearing his conversations: there will soon be a day that the world loses incredible photographers like Jamel Shabazz. Jamel is part of a breed of photographer that is disappearing -- he's a personable photographer who can speak with people and that puts them before the idea of taking pictures.
Despite how many people he photographed this month at the Brooklyn Museum, he made more interpersonal connections than I see photographers at the Sony Kando trip make. I've made it a goal to surround myself with as many of these people as I possibly can -- the photographers who actually do people-work instead of just trying to be flies on the wall. . thephoblographer.com
