   Erika Ito on Photographer of the week 06: Avedon
   9:47 am, 10.07.11

   I went to his exhibition at SFMOMA when I was in Berkeley 2 years ago. I was never really into black and white photography until then because I thought it was boring, but looking at his works totally flipped my view. I realized that stories and expressions can be well told by just two colors, sometimes a lot better than color pictures. I saw a documentary about this picture of a guy with bees and learned how “moments” is important for photography, too.

   Erika Ito on Photographer of the week: 01- Talbot
   5:11 pm, 09.19.11

   As I looked through Talbot’s works, I enjoyed not only his compositions but also colors and grains in the pictures. Many of us today hold nostalgia for the rusted feel of the pictures. I find it very interesting that we try to get similar effects on our photos today. There are many apps on iPhone that enable us to transform our digital pictures look vintage, and the inspiration comes from photographers like Talbot.
