Photographer a week - Homo ludens
Hi, Not quite one a week so far but here is a photographic journey. Well worth reading to the end. There is a series of galleries from the /photo/ directory. http://www.qsl.net/xq2fod/photo/equip/equip.html If you understand what Homo ludens means, it's worth going to his home page and looking through his stuff on model aeroplanes. There is one _very_ funny story in there mike
Photographer a Week: Chernobyl
This woman lives not to far from Chernobyl, and she likes to ride her motorcycle through there because she can ride fast without encountering anyone else. Looks like she's a snapshooter but the photographs and captions are very moving and some of her observations are pretty funny. The site is about 17 pages long. http://www.phule.net/mirrors/chernobyl-kiddofspeed/chernobyl-page01.html

Hi, Abano wrote: I din't knew him. Gorgeous work, I like the style. It reminds me a bit to Doisneau. He's not at all famous and probably never will be. But what he's done, for me, eclipses the works of greater photographers. He lived in the community, the community funded his photography by buying his pictures and he has documented in great detail a tiny part of British culture that has now disappeared. I suspect that there are many others who have done this but only a few, like Frank Sutcliffe as well as Doisneau, gain any recognition and that is often by accident. Much of the work done by these people ends up lost, destroyed or dispersed. I also suspect that applying the word style to his work would amuse him. He was never anything but extremely poor (during his active photographic life) and his work looks the way it does due to his use of whatever was available at the time. Paradoxically, he is probably now (still alive, last I heard) richer than he has ever been, although I think he has had to give up working due to failing eyesight. mike
Re: Photographer a Week (Forsyth)
Hi Mike, Thanks for the data. With style I referred to his way to photograph people posing smiley and happy to do so, looking friendly and proud of their existences.

At http://www.amber-online.com/gallery/exhibition19/notes19.html Jimmy Forsyth: Plans were in the air for knocking Scotswood Road down. When they knocked down the Infirmary in 1954 a curious crowd gathered to watch. It was then that I realised someone should make a record of what was left of the community. For posterity's sake. I had nothing to do, why not make a record of Scottie Road to pass the time? It would show future generations what we looked like and how we lived. I wonder how I ever made the pictures, I was only on a couple of pounds Assistance then. Anyway, I picked up a cheap folding camera in one of the pawn shops. There wasn't much to adjust, just as well, because I've never known what to do. I still can't understand exposures and things like depth of field after all these years, not really. I'm just an amateur, I was never interested in photography, not really. When you're taking a photography you're recording something that will never happen again, catching a moment in time, I was just capturing what I knew was going to disappear. People say to me today, How did you get all those fancy shades? but I wasn't looking for fancy shades, I was just taking what was there, the things I was interested in and the things I liked, and tried to make them look real. All the developing was done at the chemist's. I could only afford contact prints. I had to wait twenty years before I ever saw the negatives enlarged or printed properly.' Lasse
Re: Photographer a Week (Norwegian Paal)
From: Dag T [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK, since you ask and the guy asked me to try if his web site works on with Safari two days ago I (Norway is a small country) choose to show you my favorite Norwegian photographer: www.paalfoto.no Not all his best are there yet, (some are here http://www.foto.no/cgi-bin/bildekritikk/vis_oversikt.cgi?brukerid=168) but his is a very young and very promising press photografer. Thanks Dag. He's really good. I enjoyed watching it. Lasse
Re: Photographer a Week (Forsyth)
Great stuff, Mike. The story is especially compelling. Haven't had a chance to see all the photos yet, but the story really touches me ... having to wait twenty years to see the prints!

I also like his pictures, especially those of the children who seem to be enjoying the novel situation of being photographed. An aside: how likely would his pictures have been to survive if it was a collection of CDs rather than the more obvious prints and negatives? mike
Photographer a Week
Here is Bill Schwab's website. He's a Detroit native, has a style much like the better known Michael Kenna. For the darkroom aficiando's, check out his darkroom cam. http://www.billschwab.com/ Has anyone thought about incorporating Shel's idea into their website, as a list of links?
Re: Photographer a Week
Ok Shel, I'll bitebut I like the idea of lesser know photographers. Here's a good one that I like, you might know him: http://toto.lib.unca.edu/exhibits/blowers/motherjones/andr%C3%A9_cypriano.html There's a link to his homepage at the bottom.

For the experienced ones, it's always refreshing to go back to classics. I liked Mitidieri photos, although I don't think he is in the same league than Eugene Richards. His photo of the young boy under Lenine's statue (#10 in War Games) is arranged. I also liked Ravilious stuff.

Re: Photographer a Week
Bob's suggestion of posting info about lesser known photogs is, of course, a good one. However, not everyone knows about the better known photogs ... someone on the Leica list had, for example, never heard of Salgado or Nachtwey.

Photographer a Week
One of the things that's helped me learn about photography, and given me great pleasure, is looking at the work of other photographers. Unfortunately, no one can know of all the photographers that have produced books, shows, or who have done good or important work. And geographic and time constraints preclude seeing the exhibits of all our favorite photogs as well. Also, it's probably true that we tend to gravitate to the photographers who do the work that we have a special fondness for, possibly missing other interesting work and learning experiences. Recently I've been reviewing the work of Eugene Richards and I thought I'd post a URL to give those unfamiliar with his work a chance to get aquatinted with his photography. http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/TreePf_MAG.aspx?E=29YL53ZOSA1IDet=T Maybe, if others see fit, they can tell us about their favorite photographer(s) and post a URL or information about them.
