Ross Fredella recently had a small show at the Hartford Art School entitled Recent Photographs. His work is purely beautiful and it was remarkable to see moments he captured in his quest through life.
Ross Fredella is an artist based in New York and Connecticut. Ross prefers film processes, shooting mostly 35mm and 120mm formats. While observing his personal surroundings, Ross captures images he feels deserve special attention. He is currently pursuing a BFA in photography at the Hartford Art School.
Been having some good times with this little application that allows you to create Polaroid looking photos from your digital photographs. The results are great, as you can see from above.
One of my new favorite blogs is entitled Smosch, it is just a beautiful online publication. It is a visual documentation of Sandra Juto’s life as an artist and illustrator. Be sure to engage in the photographs that can be found here. These two photos are from the site.
Discovered Days With My Father online and it is a brilliant piece of online storytelling. By combining beautiful photographs with simple text it tells a heart warming and sad story. The piece develops the character of Phillip Toledano’s father through written memories and visual moments captured in time.
On a trip to New York City about a week ago I acquired for myself a Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera and proceeded to walk out of the store with a new toy to capture the world with. For the past couple of years I have been using similar cameras that the school had provided. I have enjoyed capturing the lives and moments of my friends and I as we went through high school along with the many different things I observe in life.
Now as I prepare to enter art school it is even more important to me to observe and capture images. See what I see on my Flickr photostream, just signed up for the professional account as well. When you carry a camera you see the world more.
Photographer Paul Fusco was aborad the train that carried Robert F. Kennedy’s coffin from New York City to Washington and captured the crowds of people that lined the tracks on the journey. This is what he saw.
Out My Window is project started by photographer Gail Albert Halaban in collaboration with the Design Trust for Public Space. The project aims to capture how people live in New York City and what they see outside their windows.
Today, I look at black and white photos and I think they are old. They are. But what I ponder is what are going to be the black and white photos of tommorow. What are my kids going to look at and think is old. Will it be online videos and digital photos? Will it be online flash based interaction involving multiple medias? Or will it be some sort of capturing life in a completly different form? We do not know yet.
I look forward to the day when I take a 10 terabyte hardrive out from underneath my bed and show my kids the digital memories stored within it.
