Photo Source Book Week 1



This is a photograph ("Small Change", left)by Jill Friedman, a journalistic photographer. I found this photo when the New York Times had a retrospective of her work in an online gallery. I especially like the highlights on the woman's pants because it creates the shape of her body which otherwise is one with the car.




I also really like "Jumping Rope" (right). If you want to see more of her work, here is her website: http://www.jillfriedman.com/




<-- This is a photo of a work by Olafur Eliasson, one of my favorite artists. This is a book he created using a laser cutter. I have never seen any other work by him that was similar to this- he usually does massive installation pieces that sometimes involve strobe lights, falling water and room fans.

More to come!
