Holy crap I'm so confused


Okay, Whatever. I wanted my images at the end, but haven't figured this out yet. Hence, the title.
Eh.










Anyways, I'm trying to embrace digital photography. I had an epiphany the other day. I take images with my little digital and with my phone and for some reason don't consider them to be "worthy" and won't group them with the images I take when working on my fine art photos for school. I realized that that is stupid. I have some wicked sweet images that I just happened to find when I was just walking around.
Or just messing around in class.



















Reminds me of that Beatles album cover. Only the wrong angle to the crosswalk.


Tim Briner
Main Sreet Pub, Boonville, Missouri
2007
Carbon Pigment Print
25 x 20"

I love Black and White. You can really get dramatic feelings from these types of images. I love this image. Something about the desolate feeling in an empty diner, with the only people in the image appearing on the television.


Philippe Halsman
Marilyn Listening to Music
1952
Gelatin silver print

Again, Black and White. What an amazing portrait of Marilyn. I'm going to make beautiful portraits like this someday. And everyone who is anyone will say, "I'm going to have my portrait done by Erin." I know, wishful thinking.



I love the composition of this image. And the subject matter is appealing too. I can identify with this kid digging through the papers for the funnies while having a treat, perhaps waiting for his mother to finish her shopping inside.
