One of my first works.
I found this photograph in some of my old stuff a couple of days ago. It was in a terrible condition, and scanning it with my own amateur scanner didn't improve it.
But this photograph means so much to me. It is one of my first works. Years ago, I have taken it as a part of my homework, and I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
So thank you for viewing it. It means much to me.
The Temple (My Photography)
I took these two photographs while I was in Rome, Italy.
These were some ancient temples and some parts of them were under restoration. I had to pick angle and frame carefully.
I took the first one with 5 Focus in 1/500 seconds. The second one is with Focus at 4 in 1/500 seconds.
As usual, no photoshop used.
I'll post more of my journey photographs in the future.
Man Ray photograms & photography (part 3)
These are the third and final part of my Man Ray collection.
I hope you enjoyed them. I think they show us another side of the art of photograph.
I mean the essence of the photograph; "drawing with light".
In this part, I'll post some quotes about Man Ray too.
- "[Man Ray was] a kind of short man who looked a little like Mr. Peepers, spoke slowly with a slight Brooklynese accent, and talked so you could never tell when he was kidding." — Brother-in-law Joseph Browner on his first impression of the artist; quoted in the Fresno Bee, August 26, 1990.
- "MAN RAY, n.m. synon. de Joie jouer jouir." (Translation: "MAN RAY, masculine noun, synonymous with joy, to play, to enjoy.") — Marcel Duchamp, as the opening epigram for Man Ray's memoir Self-Portrait, 1963.
- "With him you could try anything—there was nothing you were told not to do, except spill the chemicals. With Man Ray, you were free to do what your imagination conjured, and that kind of encouragement was wonderful." — Artist and photographer, Naomi Savage, Man Ray's niece and protégée, in a 2000 newspaper interview.
- "Man Ray is a youthful alchemist forever in quest of the painter's philosopher's stone. May he never find it, as that would bring an end to his experimentations which are the very condition of living art expression." — Adolf Wolff, "Art Notes", International 8, no. 1 (January 1914), p. 21.
