Chuck Kelton ~Charise J (337 ART)

Chuck Kelton 


Chuck Kelton began photography at the age of 14. He had spent his time working with other photographers. By the time he created Kelton Labs, which was a seven person operation, he started grabbing big-named clients attention. He work consists of chemograms and photograms being made in the darkroom. Kelton worked with light and chemistry on darkroom paper to make it into a n abstract landscape. 

This photo was chosen because it is very artistic for a photographer. I love it when people put art with photography because not many people combine art with photography. This photo is creative and could give me an idea on how I can combine art with photography. The way he mixed chemicals on the darkroom paper is cool because it could make colors without using color dye which I also find creative.

What photography means to me ~ Charise Johnson

(Marvin Heiferman - BOMB Magazine  https://bombmagazine.org/articles/marvin-heiferman/ ) Charise Johnson I like this photo because it is a mixture between art (of what you would see in paintings) and photography (of what I am learning right now). When I discovered what Photography was suppose to mean based on Marvin Heiferman’s  Photography Changes Everything , I had learned that it don’t really have an exact meaning. Photography is just a way of help you understand through different things. A couple of examples would be,  changes of where we go (as in, you could feel like you are there when you aren’t) or who we are (as in, it would define who we are when we take photos or, at least, make people relate in a way). Photography also means to me that it is just a form of art but with pictures that weren’t drawn or painted. It could also be a form of proof from the time it was taken because back then, photoshop wasn’t made and that had given people a better understanding of w...

Alec Soth ~Charise J (Digital photography 340)

  Alec Soth   (  Alec Soth | Sleeping by the Mississippi  ) Alec Soth was born in Minnesota in 1969. He went to Sarah Lawerence College. He started as a painter and moved on to be a photographer. During his photography career, he published 25 books about his work. He likes to take photos to make poetry and not document.  His work is kind of similar to mine because we are both connecting the social life of what someone does to the photography life. This is a form of showing people what others don't see. It is a way of understanding something that the person enjoys. I kind of see a connection with the cover because we both are trying to connect it to the theme of the photos before actually seeing the photos.  I want to take photos of people up close with the things that they like. I believe that it's what makes the person what they are today or what keeps them together. The items that a person keeps dear to them are what makes them who they are.

Lee Friedlander ~ Charise J

(Lee Friedlander,  https://fraenkelgallery.com/artists/lee-friedlander  ) Lee Friedlander Lee was a photographer, who photographed objects, city life, and landscapes. He believes that things in the world is art that  stares back at you. As in, when you want to draw or take a picture of an object or anything’s that looks interesting, it’s already something that starring at you waiting to be noticed. When looking for a photo to take, you don’t have to search for it.  Lee Friedlander gave me of an opportunity to expand my view of seeking out art. I chose that photo because of how the structure of the glass vase was giving the stem a bent look. It reminds me of how we use the film cameras to put it in focus because if it isn’t, it will come out looking bent and not straight like it does in front of the camera lens. The photo also reminds me of how to put the camera into focus because above the water inside the vase looks unfocused but the water part looks more clear whic...
