Sally Mann, thank you Jacinda for forcing us to watch that documentary on her. Her black and white photographs of her children and husband led me to the library in search of more works by her. While on the scary fourth floor of the library I came across two more artist that caught my eye. Jock Sturges and Philip-Lorca Dicorcia are two I recommend everyone search for, study and learn from.
I can only hope that when I learn all the nooks and crannies about medium and large format cameras I create something as beautiful as them.
I have not been the best when it comes to carrying my camera around lately. I need to get reconnected with my passion and dive in head first. I need to fall in love with photography again. I need to charge my batteries and reformat a memory card. It's time to take the inspiration I've gained and put it to work.
I promise new photos soon, sooner than later at least.

ReplyDeletelook forward to seeing what you're working on! I need to continue with my photography senior thesis too. haha
I agree, the fourth floor is really scary. I hate having to go up there to find art books!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't wait to see what you do with all of this inspiration. I love your photos already, and I can't imagine them getting any better than they already are. :)
