Always looking at Ansel and Walker Evens. I started to look at some of Sally Mann's photography a few months ago and I really love Tim Barnwell. His books The Faces of Appalachia and On Earths Furrowed Brow are fantastic. He has a new book that I just saw in his website, can not wait to get it!

Lately I have been looking at the work Willy Ronis, who just passed away a short while ago. I was only vaguely aware of his photographs before his death, and I didn't know him by name at all. That is such a shame. His street work is never brash or voyeuristic. Instead, it is intimate and respectful of his subjects. One of my favourites is http://images.artnet.com/artwork_images_111766_205655_willy-ronis.jpg It seems to be a metaphor for a city I have never known... the quiet intensity of the children at play below the street. It is really quite moving.

Helmut Newton has a way of portraying women that was simply unique, powerful, and erotic.

I am always interested in how photographers decide on certain projects and how they approach art. Quinn Jacobsen is a well known wet plate collodion photographer and has done an enormous amount of work promoting the process through workshops, books and videos and his work is outstanding.

Here is a link to his blog that has a couple of videos he did about himself and his work. You may need to scroll down the page past more recent blog posts to get to the videos.

I'm looking at works from all APUG subscribed photographers. There are 61 pages on the "All APUG Subscriber Galleries" pages and as of today I'm up to page 6. There are many hidden gems on these pages!

I enjoy looking at work that has anything to do with cars. Here is some work done by Andrew Bush I like:

Something about people and their cars together always catch my interest.

GEORGE TICE fans: speak up! Why is this man so underrated and rarely discussed? Just going through some of his books and his work is an absolute delight.

Another G. Tice fan here. I've always used one of his quotes on my Flickr site: "It takes the passage of time before an image of a commonplace subject can be assessed. The great difficulty of what I attempt is seeing beyond the moment; the everydayness of life gets in the way of the eternal." - George Tice

I also like Tice. I disagree that he is not discussed. I have seen articles about him in various publications and web sites. His books Ticetown and Paterson have been critically acclaimed. Google search him and you will find a few articles, essays and interivews.

Jane Bown

I have recently been looking at the work of Jane Bown the long serving Observer Photographer in her latest book Exposures.
An outstanding collection of portraits from the mid fifties right up to the present. All B+W using either a Rolleiflex or an OM1.
Regards

Harry

Thought I'd drag up this thread again. Always nice to see what others are looking at.

Anyhow, I got a whole stack of "You And Your Camera" magazines from the early 80's and in one I read an interesting article about Terrence Donovan. This was a bit of a catalyst to look through some of his stuff. I think he must have been a bit of a ground breaker when he first started out back in the 60's. Very interesting work.
