The Evil Doer
the quiet onethe sly one
she wouldnt harm
a butterfly
until you crossed her wrong
and she gets that glare
look in her eye
she lit her stoge and smiled
you shouldve known her mind
- not quite right
cause all the while shes
simply thinkin'
of how to send you to
the light
it only takes one word
it only takes a threat
it only takes a feeling
and your ass is set
she'll burn you with her
horrid thoughts
you'll feel her
in your sleep
she's standing up above you
watching
yeah, the shxt's that deep
you think it's all a nightmare
but she still wants you
alive
to stab her pain in the
heart
of your soul
with that demon eye
the damaging power
of her mind is like
a red, hot skewer
the quiet one
the sly one
the ways of an
evil.doer

Color: MARY ELLEN MARK
While she was known for her raw and uncut Portraiture, she was also known for her use of color. Mary Ellen Mark has a way of capturing color similar to William Eggleston. . Only her subject matter is more "unique".
A body of work that has moved and inspired me is her work from Bombay, India entitled Faulkland Road: Prostitutes of Bombay. I did a report on these photographs, their "exploitation" and her use of color. I was so moved by her use of pattern, decisive moment, color, flash, and subject matter. While Mary Ellen Mark was known to take risque pictures, Faulkland Road was probably her most controversial.
She took to Bombay with her camera and for months she photographed the brothels, their young prostitutes, and the lives of the transsexual prostitutes. It took her weeks to gain their trust and she went back more than once to do so. A lot of these girls are between 12-18yrs of age and at the time, homosexuality was still taboo, so critiques automatically called this art pure exploitation. .
However I saw and still see more to it. . And I hope you do, too.

Fashion: RICHARD AVEDON
Before Fashion Photography was all glitz, glam, make.up, and flash - It was about the flow of the clothes and capturing how fashion makes a woman feel.
Richard Avedon became Harpar Bazzar's Fashion Photographer in the 1940s and from there he traveled to Paris and did more with fashion. I love how he combined fashion with movement and his talent for photographing a personality. When it comes to Fashion & Portraiture, he is a BIG inspiration for me and other photographers.
So please. . Enjoy!

Color: SAMSUNG SL620
I took my point & shoot out to the grocery store one day in January of 2010. I'm drawn to the repetition of food and different items, the colors of things, lines, etc. Due to time and not really finding the right 'shot', I only have a few to share.
Please enjoy!
Please enjoy!
Color: WILLIAM EGGLESTON
When color was first introduced to photography many artists were against using it. Probably because it was so new to them, but instead of owning up to insecurities, they claimed it wasn't as good as a classic Black & White.
William Eggleston came into photography around the 1950s and though he didn't start with Color Photography, he was the Grandaddy of perfecting it and making it a new form of art. In taking his photographs, he travels around the U.S., simply in a car and whenever he sees a "shot" he stops and takes it. He has this 'ritual' of only taking one shot, saying you either get it or you don't. He is one of my many inspirations. So please enjoy the Genius of Color!
