Discussions about Famous/Modern LF photographers.



Hi All,

This might be totally off topic, but I was wondering if it was a
decent idea to have "once a while" debate/talk about current famous
large format photographers.

May I start with Andreas Gursky.

I have seen his exhibit started by MOMA numerous times. Very
impressive, technically proficient, huge prints. Some are digitally
"mastered". I have read the reviews etc. I was wondering what are some
of your thoughts. Half of the time I get a feeling of amazement, I
know the tremendous amout of access that he has to these buildings,
events, etc. Half of the time, I am thinking its not much different
from camera club photographs but with 5x7+ blown up to 60+ inches.
There is this unsettling feeling, that its just large and that's why
its revered?

Kyle.
