The image on our home page is from Cyndi Bemel ...and speaks for itself “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” Antoine de Sainte Exupery Our guest today was Marc Todd a local street / urban photographer working on the analog side in B&W. He started with a brief background...the following is his statement: "I began photography with earnest around 2005. I started with black and white film and continue to do so that I develop and print myself. My interests are the city and social landscapes. When I walk out my front door to take pictures I do so without any clear direction or agenda. I much prefer to embrace the surprises and chance encounters of pure discovery as I move through the cityscape." Just a few additional factoids about Marc: he was/is an abstract painter and he presented at Open Show He showed a series entitled "Meet Exciting Singles"...a few examples are below Marc showed a large series of street images focusing on a variety of topics including image metaphors, semiotics, religious icons, protest and human relationships on the streets. His compositional ideas wee discussed including his idea of shooting just two people in relation to one another. See gallery below Marc also brought a large number of B&W prints. A lot of photography and discussion of nuts and bolts of shooting and aesthetics of the street. Thanks Marc.
