Yeah, it's a business expense for me, so I don't worry about it too much, lol. Usually I only get one good article (if I'm lucky), but this issue had those two, plus another on the pros and cons of fast lenses. Interesting stuff, more or less, hehe.

I'd like to add Jack Dykinga, as well.

 

 

 

 

And check out this month's issue of Outdoor Photographer. I got it in the mail yesterday - there's an article on using a tilt/shift lense to recreate Ansel Adams-type DOF, as well as an article on David Muench's new book Arizona. Hell, just get a subscription, already! :)

 

 

*sigh* I just finished LAST MONTH's issue yesterday :(

Don't think I saw Elliot Porter on this thread? Definitely worth a mention.

 

For outdoors, I also like some of John Rehner's photographs.

 

edit, sorry, Eliot is one 'L' for those who may want to google some photos

I'm honestly not into photography, but [being the geek that I am] found this really interesting...

 

Someone set up a camera on the back of a truck and had it take a video. This video was compiled in a couple ways, including in stills.

 

The interesting thing is that the stills were chosen automatically by machines, and not just random picks (no pun intended...): The computers were programmed to gain an aesthetic sense, and to pick the clips they thought had the best lighting, color, etc...

EDIT: It's very late, and I can't figure out why my pics are moving around... sorry

I don't know anything about photography, but the Ashes and Snow exhibit made a deep impression on me.

 

Very interesting work, http://www.ashesandsnow.org/en/portfolio/

 

Have you ever seen the photographs of Nick Brandt, more B&W Animals photos, but without the human interaction. http://www.nickbrandt.com/popup.html

 

Sticking with a B&W theme, but straying into a sureal avenue there is a photographer which has really intruiged me for years, by the name Robert ParkeHarrison and I find it very interesting that he is working very closely with his wife in a new body of work, which I find very beautiful. Here is a link to there recent work, http://www.parkeharrison.com/

 

I find his man in suit photos to be very entertaining.

And this one where a suit adorned with water balloons will protect one from a wall of fire :)

His new color work collaboration wife Shana is really growing on me though.

I love this --thanks for the link. I'm going to see if the Jack Shainman gallery still has their work on display.
