Expose Yourself PCA 180 – Conceptual Photography Sunday October 23 - Sunday, November 6, 2011 Conceptual photography is a genre in art where the artist (you!) makes a photograph of a concept or idea. With conceptual photography there is a preexisting idea that the photographer has established and the construct of the image (whether found or set up) is the core of the photo. WIT: The assignment was a lot harder than I expected. Then again, I waited to the last day to work on it. I fell back on my loyal model Woody. I grabbed a piece of firewood from the pile and took after it with a hatched and chisel until I had worked it to a rough point. The next step was to take a photo of the wood with Woody standing right behind it. I sprinkled a few wood shavings on the top for effect. The last step was to use photoshop to grab Woody and stick him into the end of the log. Then with a bit of masking he looks as if he is coming out of the wood. carpenter
i found this 73 year-old man squatting along a fence in thies, senegal, in an area where a few local artists had stalls for selling their wares. he was set quite a bit apart from the action, barefoot, working in the shade of a huge tree. he would start with a 4-5ft hunk of tree trunk, and spend hours carving and whittling it down into amazing creations....chairs, ornately carved tables. giraffes, turtles, elephants, masks. they were each unique and completely gorgeous. he started carving as a young child "because it was something i could do", and has been at it ever since. he was kind enough to allow me to take his picture, but he was in continual motion, focused on his work. my sluggish camera could not capture his face without blur, but his hand, at times for just a second, was totally still as he regarded his work and decided on the next place to carve. it was then that i took this. open socket wrench tool wrench set 3 piece plier set electric drill repair sorby paring chisel drill screwdriver bits klein screwdriver set wheeler engineering screwdriver set sharpening turning chisels torque tool |
