PHOTOS OF THE WEEK:
JULY 20, 2017
Taken from the Website: Photography IS – Art
THIS WEEK’S PHOTOS OF THE WEEK ARE TRULY A DIFFERENT THEME. PHOTOGRAPHY AS AN ART. WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT? WELL, WHEN YOU GO INTO AN ART GALLERY, NOT A PHOTO GALLERY, YOU NOTICE THAT THE ARTIST TENDS TO DRAW THEIR PAINTINGS AS A STORY. THOSE ARE THE MOST FAMOUS OF ALL PAINTINGS. THERE ARE SOME FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPHS IN HISTORY THAT ARE THE SAME WAY. THIS COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS ARE JUST LIKE THAT. AND THESE WE CAN ALL LEARN FROM. THIS COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS ALL COME FROM SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THE WORLD, WHO HAVE WON AWARDS FOR THEIR “STORYLINE” PHOTOS. TAKE A LOOK AT THESE AND SEE IF YOU FIND THAT THESE ARE JUST AMAZING PHOTOS THEMSELVES. DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU ARE USED TO SEEING, BUT, STILL, SUCH AMAZING TALENTS PORTAYED HERE:
“To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.”
– Henri Cartier-Bresson, The Minds Eye

Scope Note:
- Photographic prints developed and printed on fiber-based paper using a four-color process invented by Theodore-Henri Fresson. The process is a laborious and tightly controlled family secret which uses pigment rather than dye, and the print is therefore unusually stable.
