Day three of the back problems - things appear to be getting better. So it is giving me time to catch up on some of the reading I have put off for a rainy day. One of the magazines I have been going through is the Silvershotz Folios 2009. As usual there is an impressive array of photographers work on display - however two have caught my eye:
Mare
This is a wonderful and simple collection of photographs of the waves crashing against the beach by Alessandro Puccinelli. I love the simplicity of the photographs and the sympathetic use of black and white to emphasise the details of the wave. Well worth viewing.
Vanishing Cultures
Larry Louie has a series of photographs in and around the great Djenne mosque in Mali Here the building forms a brooding backdrop to his exploration of the people who live and work around the mosque. Again, his use of black and white reinforces each photographs punctum by contrasting light figure or feature, such as the white of a young child's eyes
