Artist 9


Walker Evans was an American photographer best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration documenting the effects of the Great Depression.personally these images are so bold and have so much emotion related to them with the absence of color and the detail in each so fine and life like. I love that my emotions are provoked from looking at these photographs. I read that these photos are old and from years ago because he captured real people and their homes, and I get a rustic feel from the slight brown in the photo.

I find these images beautiful and my eye keeps moving through the photograph and the subject trying to find different details. I would live to figure out the technical requirements used for these images. This image gives me an eery kind of feeling, like I was kidnapped and taken to the woods and this is the sight i was woken up to. with the branches going in all directions and the blurriness gives the photo a sense of action.

Artist 7


Tree Tops, from the series Somewhere in Israel 
I was interested in this series because I am drawn to all the shapes in the photograph, they keep my eyes moving around the photo. I could not find how this photo was made but if I had to guess a photograph was taken, then manipulation with some chemical. I am not drawn to the variety of color, it is a little nauseating to me, but I am still interested in the concept.
