his page links some of the photographers who have caught my attention over the years. Many of them are famous. Some may be lesser known shooters who I have known or met locally. Like many photographers, I keep scrapbooks of works by other photographers. In fact I have piles of them. Photographers often refer to such scrapbook collections as a "morgue." A photographer from France introduced me the term in the 1990s.
The purpose of a morgue is to provide comparitive example and inspiration. I often show my morgue to a prospective model as a means to plan our work together and establish interests in common. It would be impractical and perhaps objectionable to publish many images from other photographer's portfolios. Instead I offer these direct links as a nexus to some of the photography that I like to view. Thus you have a greater idea of what I like.
Some of the names are not linked yet because this is a new section. Links will be added gradually:
- Henri Cartier Bresson -
- Imogen Cunningham -
- Robert Doisneau (1912-1994) -
- Walker Evans -
- Arthur Fellig (aka Weegee) -
- Lee Friedlander -
- Man Ray - (1890_1976)
- Alfred Stieglitz -
- Francesca Woodman - I was acquainted with Francesca and one of her photography subjects when they both worked at a vegetarian restaurant that I frequented daily in the 1970s. It was called Carnivval Cafe in Boulder, Colorado. Decades later in 2006, I was informed that Francesca had committed suicide in East Village, New York City in 1981 at age 22 by jumping from her loft. After her death, her works attained critical acclaim that has launced her into a measure of post-mortem fame. For those of us who knew her, the death is heart-wrenching because she posessed a delicate beauty and a soft-spoken amiability. Her nude self-studies are quite remarkable, though simple.
