Earlier this year, Karl Dedolph contributed an article to the magazine called Salt Fever. It was clear from what he wrote that Karl was a guy willing to go the extra mile for his street photography. And his images reflected the value of having that kind of all-out attitude. He had gotten some real gems from a practically unexplored event, photographically speaking.
