Camera Work

How do you find all these wonderful links? I've been looking at all of them and just can't believe some of the photographs. I've been fairly absent due to exams as of late.

Thanks for keeping up with the thread. I'll try to add some stuff when I get home on Sunday.
 
The Nachtwey images are especially incredible and many are deeply disturbing. It's a damn crazy world.

I had heard the name, but never seen most of those images.

Thanks for the link!

Here's a great article on Avedon. I seem to post a lot of Avedon stuff. I guess I'm fascinated by the images and thus the process he used to create them.

The Nachtwey images are certainly a good reminder of just how fortunate we all are. I hate to sound so trite, but the disparity (despairity, too) expressed in his images really hit me like a rock. I spent about an hour just thinking about them.

We all get so caught up in the minutia of our day to day lives, that its sometimes hard to step back and put our "problems" in perspective. Nachtwey's images were a bit of a rude awakening for me.

I can only image how hard those images were to make. It must be a bit of a moral conundrum to take images of such impoverished people and then turn around and sell a print of them for $10k. I'm glad he's doing it, but it can't be easy for him.
 
Eugene Richards really put the zap on my brain when i came across his work. i mean that guy really gets close. in every sense of the word.
 
There is available on DVD a film by Christian Frei "War photographer" which is quite strong but worthwhile to be seen. Spoken in german or english illustrates quite well his philosophie and his way to work, from taking pictures to editing and exhibiting. It's like his photos disturbing is some parts, but that is part of the world in which we all live.
