Some Clothes...

So Kyle had noticed my photos with my clothes that i planned on using, and had me look at some other photos where the clothes alone were featured. We looked at Carl Kleiner, a Sweadish Photographer. Here are a few of his Wardrobe photographs...

I really like the emptiness but then the feeling that someone was there. that these clothes belong to someone a some point that they represent the person. I mean in most of them a body is created from the clothes. Interesting!

Also....

I thought these photos were cool, espcially the way she organizes them. They are by Yvonne Todd, he is s photographer from New Zealand. They are series of mostly portraits. Sometimes there are odd ones out, but feel like these works involve ths story of the life of someone that he knew or created. I just like the way the photographs look... so odd but so great at the same time. There is definitly something about them.

So Ive been Searching around looking for something that...

Is Cool or really inspires me. So far i have found some cool stuff... that i like to look at.... Im sure there is something that will affect my work somehow.... Starting with some old archive photos.. That i found at I heart Photograph by Alfred T. Palmer. They are war propoganda photos.....

Project Porposal

So I realized later that i walked out of class totally forgetting to turn in my new project proposal, my mind has been in a million places. But I will post on here for sure, and turn it in. I am struggling trying to find a new direction for my project, but i hope to solve that through trial and error with a couple of ideas. more soon....

Barnes and Nobel

Soooo this beautiful day after halloween i decided i needed to look at books. So i took a little field trip to Barnes and Nobel and looked at a lot of photographers books, books on photoshop techniques and then anything else. I also looked at photo magazines! i picked up a couple of books basically as references. Still trying to figure out my next move for the final project, but need to get on that!
