Whenever I'm asked "which is the best camera?" I pretty much respond: "the one you have on you." In fact, most of the images in this book were taken with my cell phone simply because I always have it with me.

This is not only a book about street photography but a visual diary, or collection of quirky, unusual and sometimes just plain weird photos I've taken over the course of the last decade. As a street photographer, I need to be an assiduous walker. My sneakers often take me to little known, hidden corners, seaweed strewn (and sometimes stinky) beaches and really cool back alleys of my rather small island city of Victoria, BC.

I've also included images of curiosities I've seen throughout my travels. Everyone sees the world differently and this is my collection of the quirkiness that I call life.

Stephanie Jane recenzis Walk With Me de Debra Schoenberger

Fascinating street photography

4 steloj

Walk With Me was a very different book to my normal reads because, other than a short introduction, it consists entirely of photographs taken by Debra Schoenberger during her travels around the world. These aren't your usual glamorous 'encouraging tourism' images either. Schoenberger manages to spot the unusual in the everyday and has a great eye for colour. I love the page of red shoes photographs and the cat glaring from the blue chair. There are candid photographs of people sleeping and working, my favourite being a particularly striking shot of a man looking directly at us by way of his reflection. Other images allow us to view the selfie generation and even a pigeon apparently peering through a phone camera!

Schoenbergers photographs are selected from probably thousands taken during her travels and I think my only real criticism of Walk With Me is that I wanted to know where …

Schoenbergers photographs are selected from probably thousands taken during her travels and I think my only real criticism of Walk With Me is that I wanted to know where each one originated and, often, the stories behind them. Who was that man in the mirror? Where was the train going? As an art collection however, this is a lovely book to have. There is endless detail to return to in the photographs and several have elements to trigger memories of my own travels.
