Photographer Joel Dallenbach - Role Model For The Meek

I went back to the Victoria Myhren Gallery on the University of Denver campus yesterday to take a second look at the current exhibit - Joel Dallenbach: Sidewalk Stories.  Dallenbach is a street photographer here in Denver, and he is fearless.  His street photographs are great- each one tells a thousand stories, and nothing will stop him from getting the shot he wants.  In fact, one time he was taking photographs on the street, got into an argument with an unwilling subject, and wound up with a horrendous black eye.  Not only did he take photographs of his injury, but he kept taking photographs throughout the trip to the emergency room.  He only stopped shooting when the nurses threatened to give him a second black eye to match the first.  An inspiration to all us wannabe street photographers.
