Aside
I can’t say I am a huge fan of sports photography, but Walter Iioos Jr. has changed my mind a little bit. Originally form New Jersey, he photographs for Sports Illustrated. I am especially interested in his older work (man, there’s just something about film and old school sports uniforms…?) Click the first link to see a compilation of some of his older work, and then the second is the link to his website so you can see more recent stuff.

I liked learning a little bit more about Muybridge in this chapter. His life sounds really interesting and it makes me want to read his biography. Summer reading!!! as Garth would say. His method of collaging multiple negatives together to take long exposures without blowing out the skies is a great idea, but I wonder how hard it is to make it look seamless. I loved how Frampton described Muybridge’s San Francisco panorama as “a work of sculpture turned inside out.” The lighting variations because of the long exposure times made it more interesting to look at than modern panoramas with matching lighting, in my opinion.
Photographic Moratorium

Just one in a weekly set of Photographic Moratoriums. “Each week, we ascend into an ivory tower to deign which photographic clichés should be banished from the world forever.” check the rest out too, I hope we can all agree their banishment.
