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.
I'm interested in seeing what you're going to produce this semester. As far as older/alternative processes I'm also looking to them for inspiration for my final portfolio. Are you new this semester? If so, I think it would be helpful for us to see some of your older work so we can familiarize ourselves with where you're coming from so we can put your current work in context.
