to See the World in a New Way

I Still haven't quite figured out this whole posting images thing and Blogger always seems to post the images in the opposite order that I want them in... but anyway!

The last two days I was at the Three Rivers Art Festival in Pittsburgh. There were more photographers there than should be allowed and many of them did beautiful scenery just like you have seen it done a million times. Additionally there were some photographers that were taking a more edgy and modern approach to photography and showed up close abstracts, manipulations, and saturated colors or rather pale monochrome visions.

My favorite of the photographers was Susan Verberg (http://verbergphoto.com/enter.html). All of these photos are hers from her on-line gallery. But All but the first one I saw at her exhibit. The last one is great because the entire picture is a reflection except the very bottom. The bottom window one so so great because the room is completely dark and hidden except for the one section illuminated by the window that allows you to picture the whole room. The window and the bench picture is difficult because you can't tell if you are looking through a window or if it's a reflection.

The very first photo is one from her older collections and obviously very different from the others but if you look through her collections she has so many different and unique themes that she works with that it's surprising. She exemplifies in her photos the kind of beauty, uniqueness, randomness, fun, and color that i hope to be able to capture in my camera one day.

ENJOY!
