The world has lost a great American Landscape photographer in Joe Deal. As part of the New Topographics gang, Deal photographed the physical world in ways unlike his predecessors, revealing, like Robert Adams, new aesthetic methods and subjective choices in Landscape Photography that many of us take for granted “nowadays”. See his monograph West and West
Lately I’ve been really interested in THIS post at Wired’s “This Day in Tech” blog on Tom A. Warner‘s Lightning research and the images/videos that have resulted from the research. It is interesting to think of his research in relation to the history of photography & motion and to these kinds of visual studies that have changed our perception and understanding of the physical world, natural phenomena, time and speed. The slowing down of lightning specifically has me thinking of Eadweard Muybridge and his motion studies from The Attitudes of Animals in Motion.
