Oh Monday, Monday

So Ladies - It is supposed to be lovely (as in not raining) tomorrow afternoon, so we'll be hitting the trail and walking around town. After that we'll put some time into your independent projects so that you can all present your work after Thanksgiving or even at the end of our meeting tomorrow.
WEAR GOOD WALKING SHOES!!!!

AND, start thinking about how you'll approach  environments and people outside of the high school as we walk about and make photos tomorrow.

For inspiration take a look at the work of Vivian Maier - she was a nanny in New York, Chicago and around Europe who picked up photography along the way. Her work discovered after her death and is now regarded as being a great depiction of life in the 1950s and beyond. Below are some photos I picked out for you guys to look at (which one do you think is her self-portrait?) and I highly recommend that you look at the website of her work as well.


There are so many ways to look at street photography and so many styles to choose from and play with. The thing that I love about Vivien's photos is that they are as much about the place as the people in the place - I think that she has a unique way of seeing the interactions between the various subjects and locations in her work. What do you think?

All the photos are from http://www.vivianmaier.com/ - check out more of her work there!!


See you tomorrow.

Also - to see some current street photography check out the work of Scott Schumann at http://www.thesartorialist.com/ - it's pretty much limited to fashion photography of people living in a few cities throughout the world, what do you think of it?
