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.

Ansel Adams... Idealist or weekend warrior?

Ansel Adams is, for me, the iconic master of black and white landscape photography! This concept is rarely challenged, however, I am sure that others may not hold him in quite the same regard as I do?! I see the work that he produced as awe inspiring, considering he also did so with photo technology far less advanced then are own. Please feel free the dispute me on this!
