more of "New photographers! Well, sort of..."

Well, i was trying to find new photographers and i started to think back on printer names. Josef Koudelka came to mind first, so i googled him first. He is a god! not the god, just a god. My favorite book of his is called "chaos". It is alot of images that are very rectangular, and usually of some pattern that breaks the image into sections.
I like how chaotic this image it is. It divides the image up into little pieces, and makes it more interesting, and even though it is chaotic, the concept is still simple.

This is my third favorite of this book. I adore the little white dots, that draw the eye away from the center of the image. They are like leading lines, except they are dots, not lines.



This one is in Athens, at the temple of Zeus. Again, divided, yet the image comes together as one image.


This one is in germany. This is my second favorite of his book. The snow adds contrast to the stairs, and the leading lines are awesome! And the figure ground relationship is amazing. Again, the snow brings out the differences in the steps.

Chos, yet together, the stairs and the bannister break the image apart and heal it back together.






This one is my Favorite! I think that this was Koudelka's favorite too, as it was the cover of the book. The water makes such an interesting contrasting, and the rocks jag into the sky, and they almost make a city-scape, but not. It is awesome! and i like the concept of this photoproject, and i will try and bring that to spring term.
