And what did you see this week?

[charjohncarter]

Funny,..................

[steamer]

Just thought I'd give this thread a bump since it seems to get buried.
So what did you see this week?

Here is a young lady who I know little of, except that she lives in Greensboro N.C. and she shoots lots of color. Her name is Lisa Scheer and her work reminds me somewhat of Jon's work but with their own unique style and different climate of course.

Thank you. I enjoyed those photos and thought of jan normandale and Lise Sarfati.

She says she's going to try some mono. I'd like to see it, although her style suits color very well.

Scheer's photos are great. A lot of empty feeling. The girl and soldier was good too. THese are the only photos I have seen this week. Except this one:

This guy has some other interesting images as well.

I like Scheer's photos, too. I liked this one:

I hope I covered rule 6. Please if I haven't tell me. I don't want to do it wrong.

Scheer is a contact of mine on Flickr.com, great pictures. I just wish she'd go analogue.

Peter has a remarkable "eye" for the critical moment.

I recently bought a book (an anthology) of Mario Giacomelli's work, I like it so much to look for his photos on the net so here his website: http://mariogiacomelli.it.
He's considered one of the greatest italian photographer.

Very nice indeed. His work resonates with Beniliam's photos. I like the color and the real up close look of many of the photos.

Remarkable photos, and all so 'modern looking' even though some are over fifty years old.

From the inside of a London tube train looking out at a large advertising poster on the tunnel wall.

This kind of photo cannot be planned, and it takes a god eye to see it and photograph it during the few seconds that the train is stationary.

If this Mario Giacomelli was in our Gallery I would put it straight into My Favorites:

Which Giacomelli book would you recommend?

Please don't suggest http://www.amazon.co.uk/Paesaggi-Landscapes-Franco-Fontana/dp/8880584626/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1197882275&sr=8-8 as it's about €300. 'Used Very Good'. Ouch.

I've just splashed out on new top of the range eyeglasses so I'd like a book slightly less expensive than that one!

[terrafirmanada]

Mario and Peter's photos are quite good indeed. I have looked at Trent Parke's work before, but was reminded of him again last night. The whole Magnum site has some good podcasts, and of course photos.

Hi Jon,
even though it's not the one I bought I think this one is more complete:
http://www.micamera.com/cat054_p27.htm (penultimate advertisement 428 pages, 600 photos € 44,00). I bought from that shop (nice experience btw) but I have no relation with them.
Ciao

This was on the ABC news site in Oz this morning ... I've never really been into photographs from war zones but this really caught my eye ... US troups in Diyala.

I saw this picture, http://steveunsworth.co.uk/PAW_2007_images/L1009915-skate.jpg in which I like how the woman and the girl in foreground, combined with a tilt, give strenghth to an otherwise normal snap. Just my opinion, rob

Some time ago I bookmarked Matt Alofs website. He's a photographer based now in Indiana (I think). What I like about his work is not only the strong compositions (which have gotten stronger, IMO, in recent weeks) but his darkroom talent as well. Here's his blog/website link. The shots there in the last several days in particular have really impressed me.

Nice example of what grasping the moment is.

[gb hill]

Thanks Steve for Matt Alofs work. His B&W pictures are interesting. I also bookmarked the site and will visit on a regular basis. Sorry I haven't got to view any photos til now, work was hectic this past week. Now I have 5 days off to catch up and to go out and take a few snaps.
