pacha mama photography Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 these are just the photos from a project ive been working on documenting the destruction of local farms/dairys. this project was done over the last couple months and is actually not even finished yet. this gallery is from the first farm i visited. "hillview farm." any critiques, good or bad are much appreciated. especially constructive so i can take thoughts and suggestions into consideration on the final farms of this project. also, these arent the best scans so the quality isnt perfect. thank you very much. chris. http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=581379 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_hall1 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 The broad landscapes show abandoned areas but no real definition of them. The detail images show things like the door of a trailer... It's difficult to give that a theme and more likely to take the images as unrelated. For example there are photos of new subdivisions standing next to Amish farm barns...and that has definition. Or an abandoned factory itself has much definition... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_s8 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 what B.Hall said. You have four photographs of sky, three photographs exercising scale and perspecive of the wide angle (roads), & few close ups that aren't very good compositions. The best are photographs nos. 6, 9, & 10 but I think you need a really strong shot. Or two. I'm sorry. I like the fact that all of them have similar light (overcast sky). I won't comment on technical qualities of your scanned images as you pointed out problems with scanning. I just hope your C-prints look much better.

pacha mama photography Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 thank you for all the info. i guess i am going to have to "revisit" some of the farms, especially this first one. looking back, they do need a lot more attention given to definition of the project as a whole. again, thank you for the criticism, hopefully it will show in the next couple of farms i shoot. chris.

fjords Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Chris, you need the why "?" photo. the fat cat banker who foreclosed; the yuppie developer in 'is beamer; the sheriff who served the papers; the crumpled news of NAFTA. just my perspective.
