And that’s how I gave a child a real human skull.
Edward Burtynsky- Shipbreaking
"About four years after the Exxon Valdez oil spill I heard a radio program where they were talking about the danger of single-hulled ships. The insurance companies were refusing to cover them after 2004, which would force all these ships to be decommissioned."
"Matthew Merrett has spent several years exploring, photographing and exposing urban decay. Now frozen in time, subject to the elements and neglect, he captures what was once abundant, before the redevelopment cycle erases them, forever.”
Urban decay is a topic of great interest to me, and is something I’d really like to explore more. These are photos of Pripyat where the Chernobyl accident occurred.
Kevin Malella was actually my intro to photo teacher at CSU-Pueblo. This is his series, “A Constructed Landscape” which explores the human relationship between industry, residence and nature. Personally I am inspired by this because I am interested in the same concept, and I think factories are a really interesting to photograph because they can be so beautiful yet so ugly at the same time.
This week I was working on the other project, so all I have to show are some iPhone photos of my cat. Please enjoy 🐈🐈🐈
"Pit bulls tend to get a bad rap in popular culture, usually being portrayed as ferocious and aggressive beasts. Sophie Gamand, a U.S.-based French photographer, has set out to change all that by photographing pitbulls posed with beautiful hippie flower crowns. Her photo series, entitled, “Flower Power, Pit Bulls of the Revolution,” aims to show the sweeter side of these oft-misunderstood animals."
Sophie Gamand is using her love of photographing cute animals to help them, and I think that's really cool.
Robert Adams photo again from the Fraenkel Gallery. I’ve been working a lot on my project this week and below I have a few reject photos.
"Ukraine-based Stepan Handzha photographs mostly deserted locations and accidentally human shapes, and in all cases, his work evokes isolation, loss, and contemplation." I found Handzha after our shoot, so he wasn't an influence on my work this week. However I think if I were to do more street photography, this would be an interesting way of approaching the subject. I think a lot of people go to street photography to find solace in strangers. However showing signs of abandonment in a city conveys a much different message; one I think would be worth exploring.
Ian Chamberlain is a photographer I found on Flickr. I found him after I chose my photos, so he wasn’t a direct influence on me this week. However I did think the colors, lighting and fish eye distortion made for an interesting photo. He said he used a filter on the light source when he was shooting and made minimal changes in Photoshop during post processing. While I wanted to experiment with fairly extreme post processing this week, I think it would be an interesting challenge to create distortion while I am shooting as well.
These photos are from Robert Adam’s summer nights walking collection. I really love how detached these photos feel. They are very peaceful, and they feel like as the viewer we are with Adams on the outside looking in on other people’s lives. He creates a very solitary mood in this collection which I find both peaceful and a little bit melancholy. I am considering him as my inspiration for our next project.
