Artist Statement
I am fascinated by the random arrangements of public gatherings. As my crowdspotting series evolves, I become better at identifying opportunities: a crowded tourist attraction, a busy intersection, and a packed subway car are all opportunity-rich environments. I look for animated characters within separate groups of people who—absorbed in their own moments—are often completely unaware of the contribution they are making to the larger scene.

What's Up With the Rectangle?
I use an obscure, film-based wide-format camera with a field of view approximately the same as human vision. I print my photographs at least six feet wide.

I love both the photo and the explanation that goes withit i find crowd pictures fascinating looking at people who are all in the same place but experienceing different emotions !!
ReplyDeleteMy photography teacher Art Sinsabaugh did the same wide-angle photos of landscapes in central Illinois. I thought the photos were fantastic and I'm enjoying your photos that include people which really adds a whole new “dimension”. He used to say he wanted to grade our work by piling prints on a scale. The more weight the better the grade! (http://www.indiana.edu/~iuam/online_modules/sinsabaugh/p_mw1-11.html)
