Cole Barash is a young American sports photographer who started at the early age of 14 (aprox). Getting picked up super fast by snowboarding industry he immediately proved himself with amazing, dynamic film photography(that's right, film, not digital).He has started using digital for convenience. His day is like: wake up > hang out with sports stars and take pictures > surf > go to airport. ![[image loading]](http://www.studionemo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/03012008_terrace_card11-166_sm1.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.pdnphotooftheday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cole_barash.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.aphotostudent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ColeBarash.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://toomuchchocolate.org/interview/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/cole01.png) ![[image loading]](http://onboard.mpora.com/wp-content/uploads/gallery/smokingDude_BARASH_19.jpg)   | ||

Blur every goddamn photo - check Apply sepia/black&white/old photo filters in photoshop for no reason at all - check Realize that underneath all that the photos are nothing special - priceless. | ||

The priceless part would be that a little kid is making more money than you (probably) despite the fact that you are so high brow and artistically advanced that you can see right through his kitsch garbage | ||

However I thought the last photo was remarkably good, I really like it. | ||

Low or ultra wide angles, strange colors and silhouettes along with gross over-editing apparently are very appealing to a great many people, even if the photograph itself is a compositional/technical failure. Long live the purists! ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/images/usericons/20626.png) | ||

Priceless is clearly not a literal term anyways. Are you telling me I can't interpret it the way I want to?

Long live the purists! Well obviously what appeals to non-connoisseurs is going to be lowbrow to those who would consider themselves connoisseurs...if it wasn't, then purists couldn't consider themselves elite. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/09/03/070903fa_fact_keefe?currentPage=all http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2007/11/the_subjectivity_of_wine.php | ||

Give someone like david la chapelle a fucking phone cam and he will stomp you even if u do have the above. | ||
