Photo Essay – People in the Shower

Manjari Sharma’s images of people in her shower are really compelling. There’s no exposed bits, so don’t worry about that.

Gregory Crewdson’s Photography

Will — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 05:46:20 +0000

I found myself very taken by the photographs (NSFW) of Gregory Crewdson. I’ve always been drawn to images of isolation and quiet contemplation. In these particular photos, there seems to be an undercurrent of pain and loneliness that I don’t care for as much, but broadly, I am very interested in his work.

I don’t know why this picture makes me laugh so much. via

Pictures of People Sleeping

Will — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 21:54:45 +0000

In the introduction to this series of pictures of people sleeping, the writer (photographer?) mentions that people are unposed and unguarded when they are photographed while sleeping. That may be, but for some reason, these images still seem highly posed to me. I still like the series and find it interesting, but it just doesn’t feel as unguarded as you’d expect. I’d like to set up a time lapsed camera to photograph myself, but the amount of light you need would probably make it pretty hard to actually sleep.

How to Use Flash with a Canon Camera

Flash Photography with Canon EOS Cameras – Part I. provides a very detailed discussion of using Flash with Canon cameras. It also may help explain why some images I took recently had a bunch of motion blur even though I was using flash and expected to be able to freeze the action.

Photo Synchronicity

I just mentioned the Photography of Todd Hido a few posts before this one. It turns out that he currently has a showing at the Rose Gallery . I’m so there!

Great Photographer

Will — Sat, 06 Jan 2007 00:33:02 +0000

I really like Todd Hido’s Photography. The landscapes in particular are wonderful. I don’t like the portraits as much. He seems to make better photographs when the people are gone — or more to the point, present but not seen.

Wolfgang Tillmans Retrospective at the Hammer

Will — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 04:46:23 +0000

There’s a Retrospective of Wolfgang Tillmans at the Hammer museum right now. I’m not as familiar with photographers as I’d like to be, but after seeing his image Chaos Cup I definitely want to go check this show out.

And, if anybody knows of other photographers that are doing work similar to that, please let me know. I’d like to be more educated about who’s out there doing stuff like that.
