b&w pictures

realism

ansel adams photography has always been some of my favorite. i thought these pictures were striking. and from what i can tell, there was no manipulation.

i though this picture was amazing. the photography is great, of course. but the expression and the feeling of the child is beyond words. it's contentedness, with a kind of "fuck you" non-chalance. in the words of a child, of course.

i doubt these trees actually appear like this, although i'm not exactly sure what the artist did here. but it's still a great picture.

this is a picture that one of my best friends took of me. i was standing in my kitchen, and feeling a bit camera shy. i never asked him what he did, but i'm guessing it had something to do with the shutter speed, among other things.

love the shots jordan! especially the one of the kid and the one of you. they say so much with such minimal information.

and did you know...? ansel adams often took a shot once and did not crop? he also shot most of his work at f/64 (because it would give him the greatest sharpness). cool no?

Hey Jordan,

I think the picture with those freaky white palm trees was done with infrared photography.
