Week 7

Robert Adams

This could be me? Seriously! My father built

custom homes during these years, so I grew up

around new developments and construction

sites... OK it's not me, but he could be a friend

I once knew?

William Kentridge

This Charcoal print is about a S. African

businessman and is metaphorical, seeing

himself 'dissolving' away as his business

is going under...

...I saw this and felt introspective, that

this is how I have felt lately?!

Week 6

Minor White

I like White's intentional

focus on the "brokenness".

Sometimes the simplest

things can convey a lot of

meaning.

White's use of "the rule of thirds" and his

use of movement through the photo, makes

this a favorite of mine.

White captures a seemingly 'cliche'

photo, but does so with a Norman

Rockwell style of composition that

it is successful and conveys a feeling

of frigidity and warmth.

Week 5

Sebastiao Salgado

Salgado's images have been criticized for being too 'beautiful', while portraying people whose whole world is enveloped by poverty and destitution...

...However, in a environment and culture that

eludes our basic under-standing, I believe that

Salgado brings an element that enables us to

better empathize with what is going on in

their world.
