Dmitri Goutnik

Dmitri Goutnik is the man behind [ radio uruguay ], a photoblog of street photography. Currently ranked as #119 in photoblogs.org, we think he is undervalued as he is actually quite famous among fellow street photobloggers. The first photo that we able to find on his photoblog was dated back to February 19th, 2004 with the above photo titled “obsoleted“. Here is a reply from Dmitri himself after we asked his permission to publish this.

Hi guys,

Interesting idea… :)

That is not exactly the first photo I ever posted on the www (first probably was on photocritique.net sometime around 1999, they are long gone…), but I think it will do just fine… :)

As to the questions:
(1) When and where you took your first photo?: Berkeley, CA… in the year 2002, I think.
(2) What camera did you use to take the photo?: Leica M6
(3) What is the story behind the photo?: Heh.. no real story here, but this was one of my first rolls with a Leica and I was shooting everything :)

Thanks,
Dmitri

Thanks to you too Dmitri for quickly responding to our email. And cheers, you are the first from the photoblogs category ;)

Do you remember?

.. when you first get your hand on a camera? And clicked its shutter button? What’s the first photo you ever produced? Did you feel so good?

Well, of course, we are not going to look for the first photo ever produced. We are only intended to search for the first photo ever published. Be it on a photo gallery or on a photoblog or on Flickr or on other medium we are not aware of. And that photos are not ours, but yours :) If it is indeed your photo and it was your first ever published, then why don’t you let us know (add stories into it if you’d like to) and who knows it can make an appearance here.

One thing. If you are somehow familiar with the name, perhaps that’s because we have also started a similar blog a while ago. That blog’s name is First Post! Yes, we are the same people. In order to support the content of this blog, we also have made a group on Flickr called also First Photo! If you use Flickr, you can join it so that we can add it here.

If you remember your first photo, you can also remember us :) and let’s enjoy it together here.
