The English Approach

Thought I'd mention my uni tutor Clive McCarthy. His pinhole stuff in particular is great.

"If I look at my image making process as a whole, I have recognized that there is a sense of English eccentricity within my recent work. The daily ritual of walking around the New York streets with a large mahogany box camera on a full size tri-pod makes for a very ‘English’ approach to the photographic process."

Mythical Beasts...

...or so they seem!


I suddenly want to travel a lot more than I did five minutes ago!
Inspiring or what?! Check Nick Brandt's site out here.

Genius!

My first post... and as I don't know what exactly I want to put on this blog, I thought I would start with a photo by humanitarian photographer and all round photographic genius Sabastiao Salgado.



Apart from the obvious technical abilities of Salgado, (and his trusted M7 and Tri-x) there is the fact that he does what he does to help others, to tell their story as they are (more often than not,) less fortunate.

I guess this interest came from his background and degree in Economics. This photo is one of my favourites. Taken from his 'Workers' body of work, I have no doubt I will be posting more of his work.
