Erik Praytor #5

Erik Praytor Photography

I was surfing Google under abstract/photo/artists and I eventually came across vision light photography and discovered so pretty unique artists. I clicked through most of them but it was Erik's Quote that really caught my eye: "What inspires me is finding the beauty in things most of us overlook." This concept I how I feel most of the time I'm taking photos, I look for the unique point of view (at least I try). Take the time to look at Erik's portfolio he is a pretty well rounded artist and photographer.

Ansel Adams #4

Ansel Adams PhotographyAs a little boy my dad has always been a big fan of Ansel Adams because Yosemite and the Grand canyon were some of his favorite places to go. While I was cruising the web I ran across the picture that I have been staring at for years. It was fun to cruise the site and check out my dad's photography idol. Now I got to represent and put A.A. on my page of fame.

Dave Martinidez #3

Dave Martinidez Photography
NYC


Dave Martinidez gives a new light to NY city and city photography. On his website he has a series of photos focusing in on a specific area: lines, central park, clouds etc. I really got inspired with his subjects especially this wall. I feel there is so much change that can be done to the picture; It reminds me of the Chris Orwig's wall in the city. This photo below simply shows the complexity of NYC photos. Check out the sight for yourself.

Tony Howell #2

Tony Howell Photography

I really like Tony Howell and his well rounded approach to art. He has a nice web page that is easy to direct around (http://www.tonyhowell.co.uk/) you all should check it out. I was looking at most of his work and I seem to keep drawing myself to his landscape portfolio (figures)... but I like the way he incorporates the surrounding buildings or structures in his scenery photos. I think it gives the picture a better feel and a grasp for the area.

The first day of class, I told everyone I was intrigued with scenery photos. Stevan Marcus does what I would do, if I was a professional photographer. He finds great angles and develops great shots. Click picture to check out his page I found.
