Comments(0) can’t help it…
Gerard Laurenceau … reminds me of Michael Kenna and The Nocturnes
Tim Flach… J’adore the Equus project ;)
Edward Burtynsky … man made landscapes and disasters
Hans van der Meer … football as it should be
Nick Brandt … I get tired of same old wildlife photography, but this is different. Much different.
Mark Tucker … don’t even know how to describe this… it’s just unusual and interesting
Simon Norfolk .. can war and destruction be beautiful in a visual sense? Simon captures the war sans the war. BLDGBLOG did an interview with him a while back… read it
You know, the camera I use is made of wood – it’s a 4×5 field camera, made of mahogany and brass – and it looks like an antique. Part of what I do is I make sure I don’t look very serious – it’s best to look like a harmless dickhead, really, so no one bothers you. You look like a nutter. And, to be honest, I play that up: I’ve got the bald head, and the Hawaiian shirt, and, to look at the image on the back of the camera, you have to put a blanket over your head and go in there with a magnifying glass, and it’s always on a tripod.
So I have two choices: I can either do these images from a speeding car, or I can stand there with a blanket over my head, and look like such a prick that somebody’s going to find me through their rifle scope and think: Oh! What’s that? Let’s go down and have a look… I can’t believe that photographers go into war zones dressed like soldiers! Soldiers are the people they shoot at. If I could wear a clown suit I would do it – if I could wear the big shoes and everything. I would wear the whole fucking thing.
Ion Zupcu … paper as you’ve never seen it
Jon Huck … people and their breakfast
Andrea Altemueller … although open water was always my preference swimming pools played the major part in my life
Matjaz Krivic … I met him when he loaned me a wideangle converter (his Olympus had the same filter thread as my Fuji) during a capoiera demonstration at Ana Desetnica street theatre festival a few years back. I’ve been a fan of his work ever since and went to see the open air exhibition several times both in Ljubljana and Maribor.
