I really like this type of work. I follow one guy on Flickr who also produces such pictures.

I would really love to learn how to create such pictures.

AFAIK he shoots B&W film, so no conversions necessary

If people like his work, then go straight to the source, Michael Kenna.

Michael Kenna is probably the first photographer well known for this minimalistic B&W normally square framed stuff. All the others are just imitators :-) Michael Levin actually makes no bones about choosing to shoot in the same way and much the same subjects as Michael Kenna. So much so that it has attracted a certain amount of controversy on occasion ...

-edit- ahha, I was also looking for this article aswell, by Michael Kenna, as it turns out it was linked in that article above.

Id like to own some stuff by Nobuyoshi Araki, he kind of opened up photography to me the way Dali did with art when i was a teenager. I think his stuff is very expensive though..

There are plenty of Irish stuff I wouldn't mind owning including the odd one here.... now there's a thought.

David Lachapelle, I wouldn't take for free tbh.

would you hang it on your wall, though?

there's plenty of stuff i really like, but there's only a subset i'd hang on the wall.

Aside from oogling stuff on internet sites, who around here would actually fork out money for stuff that they can afford and what have people bought/contemplated buying :P

Les McLean, great guy and wonderful work: www.lesmcleanphotography.com

My favourite of his is "Seat at Hope Gap" it's in his Gallery.

Just noticed that there are some images in is Colour gallery that were taken when he was here for a street photography workshop on St.Patrick's Day a few years ago.

Good to see Humberklog doing so well. Called in on him last week and he was in fine fettle and doing great.

I would have bought the Gannets but Danny gave it to me anyway after the exhibition.

I have also bought a print by Ric J Steiniger who's an Australian landscape photographer. I would have bought something by Peter Lik but I couldn't afford it. Man he's expensive.

I have poster prints by Philippe Plisson (4 I think) and by Guillaume Plisson. I have one canvas by Philippe. They've a bunch more I would buy if I could afford but cannot. Guillaume Plisson has taken the one kite photograph that I didn't take myself that I would buy.

There are a couple of Robert Doisneau's that I wouldn't say no to either.

After that, most of what I'd hang on my wall, somewhat narcistically, is my own. I haven't had time to print anything lately which is a pity.

You were looking good too Covey, especially after the healing of Tara chant.

Really that kinda stuff desn't go on every day in the gallery....promise:pac:.


I like pics and don't really reflect much on the photographer and tend to have a quick enough turn over in the stuff I do hang. The right Bresson would be nice.

Hopefully moving into a new house in July or so, this will be my first purchase for art i think.

i must say i prefer more painterly looking stuff when i'm looking at photos for hanging on walls; i once shared an exhibition space with this chap, and he promised to give me one of his prints, but i never caught up with him again. the print is no longer listed on the site, but it was an abstract one of a backlit jellyfish which had wonderful colours in it.
