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 ;)
