MARK LAITA

I love the way he uses the comparisons. one is a lingerie model and one is just an everyday woman in her undergarments.

ARNOLD NEWMANNNNNN

OK SO RON WAS RIGHT !!!!!PORTRAITS
I LOVE THESE PORTAITS THE WAY HE CREATES SHAPES AND USE THE NEGATIVE SPACE IS MIND BOGGLING.HIS WORK IS SOOOOOOO INSPIRING!!!
There is something about older peopls faces that add depth strength to these photographs.
I am going to attempt to capture this through shapes and using my backgrounds to my advantage.

I love how the lines all lead to one point and it isn't noticable at first but there is a car on the road. I also love that the road is kinda reversed in color. The black and white  in this pho is almost perfectly balanced.

I think it is awesome that he get these images with theuse of mirrors, metal wires, scaffolding and acrobatics and not through the use of computer manipulation. 

When i first saw this image i was like how in the world he up the and the i read the text and it explains. To mention I thought these were photoshopped.

So in Craft 1 we were looking at the photo books and i came across this image.
I was just flipping through the JOEL STERNFELD book ON THIS SITE and saw this on i was immediately drawn to the image, composition and the color. I love the way the sun hits the tree so sharply but the color of the sun seem that of sunset.
this image also resinates because in like 2 week we go to NY and I am COMPLETELY DETERMINED TO FIND THIS TREE :)
