Great Black and White photographers part 3



1) What first caught my eye when looking at this photographer's photos is that he seems to capture an essence of truth and humanity even if the photo is of non-human objects, which made me so drawn into choosing him because I feel that even though the objects are inanimate, I feel like I can relate to them.


2) I see a grasp for steadiness. A desperation to hold onto something that was once there but now is gone.
I smell the strong scent of red wine. I also smell the leather of shoes that have been freshly polished.
I hear the sound of a ballroom being filled with music and voices. As if a grand ball is being thrown and people are communicating in the soul of the music and those who are not are commuting with the ones standing by
I taste French delicacies. The creamy and sweet insides surrounded by a fragile, crisp shell that almost crumbles when you take a bite.
I feel desperation.


2) I see a sadness that has a certain spot of warmth and hope. I see that even though there is a struggle to remain steady, there is also a stability within the sorrow.
I smell the scent of rain in the air. The rain is a representation of the tearless cries that the statues are expressing.
I hear the sound of raindrops slightly against the noise of the ocean waves crashing along the shore.
I taste a dryness that would accumulate in the mouth if a sorrow were to strike.
I feel a depression, yet a sliver of hope. The hope coming from the supporting shoulder that the subject is depending on and has to rely on.


3) I would like to create a slide show that  is collaged with his photos with very brief descriptions that would help the fellow classmates to understand why I felt that this photographer is so great. Or maybe I would like to create a blog that is solely based on the photographer and everything that he has accomplished.
