Calcutta (Kolkata) is the most amazing place I have ever been. I was overwhelmed. These are excellent photographs from Calcutta, what is interesting to me is how the perspective is very different from what fascinated me. The buildings, the signs, the technology, the context of all the activity, and the wonderful overwhelming chaos and energy was what mesmerized me. These photographs focus on the people.

Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943 – Plog Photo Blog

I love black and white photography, most of our images of America, in the past, are black and white. These photographs show what are normally black and white images in color. The emotional affect is different, to me, at least initially, the impact is muted. In some cases the photographs are a Kodak moment that hides the economic reality of the times.

Confession of a Buddhist Atheist: Stephen Batchelor

2010-03-14T05:52:00.000-08:00

Every once in awhile I read a book that I feel in "sync" with. Many of the questions and struggles that were provoked by my experience in Bodhagaya and in Thailand are shared in this book. A similar history of phenomenology and existentialism provides another shared context. My skepticism of Karma and of re-birth are also shared. It is confirming sometimes to read a book that "makes sense". I have wanted to talk about this experience, in a sense this book provides the discussion.

I strongly believe that beauty is impossible to define solely by appearance. To illustrate deeper definition of female beauty, I photograph women whose pictorial beauty radiates from their accomplishment, character and personal struggles.

The Pakistan>Without a face series is horrifying. I can not comprehend how people could do this to each other.

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.
