Lee Friedlander

I have a weird fondness for "exploded" compositions, without an obvious focal point, and Lee Friedlander is one of the masters. A book which features this side of his work is Sticks And Stones. Another one is Factory Valleys. (The latter is much weaker and thinner, and out of print, thus over-priced, so I recommend the former. I couldn't find decent-sized pics from the former though. See some small samples here though.)

    Thanks. Helps a bit. Though they're not huge, and personally I think not amongst the best in the book. But they do give a taste of what kind of thing it is.

    I agree. I found the ones that you posted to be more interesting; and...I thought I recognized one of 'em. :-) Eerie how I can remember some images like dat...when everyday stuff disappears in an instant! :-/

    "But they do give a taste of what kind of thing it is."

    True dat. :-)

    Yeah, you seem to have a scary memory for pictures.
    When I first posted it, I only had that tiny one, but later I photographed it from my own book.

    Looks like what you get using a pinhole camera.

    Yes. :-) Prob because I'm so visual...although I don't think that I have what they call a "photographic" memory. :-)

    I see.
