Masters of Photography: Clarence John Laughlin

Masters of Photography: Clarence John Laughlin

CLARENCE JOHN LAUGHLIN'S DESCRIPTIONS OF HIS PHOTOGRAPHIC GROUPS

This is really interesting, I play with different ways to group my photography, subject, geography, time, intent, emotion, quality, etc. I have made lists like this, once I was going to create a database, a long time ago, and made lists of properties for my photographs. I need to try again to come up with different groups.

Clarence John Laughlin was one of my favorite photographers, I have a few of his books from many years ago. I need to explore his images again. I feel an affinity for what he is doing.

If you use Flickr this is an amazing application. You can create many different predefined searches. Every once in awhile an application is a revelation and opens up completely new ways of viewing photographs. I love this application!!

This also applies to family or community still photographs. Time changes the meaning of the images, or videos, that we capture.

I try to think 30 years ahead when I take photographs. What will be important in 30 years? How we look at old photographs now will help in deciding what photographs to take now that will be valuable in 30 years.

This is cool, it brings back many memories. I remember these cars, and it looks like the small town I grew up in, sort of.
