Weekend Photo project



Decided to do textures for this project. There are many types in the outside world rather than inside a room. Not just non-living objects have texture but as well does trees and bushes.

Photographic Context and History (Ongoing)

EDWARD STEICHEN
Life years:
Nationality:
A quote: "No photographer is as good as the simplest camera."
Four noteworthy 'things' about him:
1. Museum Curator
2. Featured many times on Alfred Stieglitz magazine 
3. Painted and worked in lithography
4. His photos were known as one of the first modern fashion photography
5. Zodiac sign is Aries

Three images that are considered a few of his most important/best:


ALFRED STIEGLITZ
1864-1946
US
Important figure in promoting photography as a viable art form.
Was a publisher, patron, collector, gallery owner, promoter... of all kinds of art.
Married to the painter Georgia O'Keeffe

"I have always been a great believer in today. Most people live either in the past or in the future, so that they really never live at all. So many people are busy worrying about the future of art or society, they have no time to preserve what is. Utopia is in the moment. Not in some future time, some other place, but in the here and now, or else it is nowhere.
