I have always wanted to know how to paint but never really wanted to learn how to paint. In my alternative processes class Tracie Taylor came to talk about hand coloring photographs. I thought that this would be the perfect outlet for my painting desire. I have hand colored a few photographs and know that with a little more practice this could be something that I would be very good at.

Sally Mann

I have always admired Sally Mann's work with old cameras and processes. I think that her work with these cameras and processes is admirable. For a photographer who has access to the latest and greatest photography equipment she uses equipment of the past and produces great photographs. Not only does she use older equipment, the equipment is also damaged. These defects Mann embraces and uses to her advantage. I have started to collect old cameras to try to see what kind of photographs they will produce.
