pics from my show

All but the first picture were taken by Justin Williams.  Not only is he an awesome person, but he's also a brilliant photographer.  Check out his website and blog and leave him some comments :)

keep on truckin'

Still working on finals....losing my mind a little, but I should survive :) I'm currently waiting for these images to print so I figured I'd post a few of them here.  The series is about Centralia, PA and includes 13 images.  Centralia used to be a thriving coal mining town until the dump caught fire and eventually lit the coal mines under the town.  The fires have been burning for over 40 years now and are projected to continue burning for at least the next century.  Google search it for more info.

This is the old rt. 61 that lead into the town.  Since the fires have cracked it so badly, they've shut the entire highway down and just built a new one that runs parallel to the old one.  It's hidden rather well; the only reason I found it was because my dad remembered traveling on it before.  

Before I die...

I need to own these books:

Imogen Cunningham: Ideas without End   A Life in Photographs

After Ninety

Georgia O'Keeffe: A Portrait by Alfred Stieglitz

Young America: The Daguerreotypes of Southworth & Hawes

Louise Bourgeois: Drawings and Observations

John Currin

That's all I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure there's more :)

Imogen Cunningham is my hero

So, Imogen Cunningham took photos for over 60 years.  60 years!!!!  Below are a few of my favorite photos from those 60 years.  Click on them to make them bigger and if you want the title or dates for any of them, let me know and I'll get them to you.  Enjoy :)

      
      
      
                       

yay for Imogen!

I've been doing a lot of research all day for this paper in history of photo and I'm beginning to realize how truly amazing Imogen Cunningham really was.  Here are a few images of her; I'll post some of her work later.

How fabulous is the picture?!!  I love it <3 class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Imogen Cunningham and Twinka, Yosemite, 1974, Judy Dater

She took photos all the way up to her death when she was 93.  sooooo awesome

So I'm doing some research for my short paper in history of photo on Imogen Cunningham and I came across this image of hers:

She usually worked in black and white, but I adore this color image :D
