A couple of my favorite photos by famous photographers
A new segment in my blog will be photos, architecture, sculpture, and artwork that I have studied, admired, or just been blown away by! I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
***I do not own these photographs and are just displaying them for educational purposes.

Man Ray "Tears" 1930
I have always been in love with the Surrealist photographer Man Ray. This is one of my all time favorites.

Dorthea Lange "Destitute peapickers in California; a 32 year old mother of seven children, February 1936" 1936
I always felt the mother in this photograph looked so worn out, so sad, without hope. It conveys such feelings of struggle and emotional exhaustion.

Charis Wilson "Nude" 1936
I love the angularity of the woman's body in this photograph.

Robert Mapplethorpe "Grace Jones" 1988
I love this picture by Mapplethorpe. Grace Jones has such a haunting look about her. I particularly like her eyes.
