My Answer To Distraction:
I took a photography class last year (please don't judge my talents with photography by most of the pictures here! These are all digital, I used a 35mm for the class.). One of the greatest lessons I learnt in the class was an appreciation and knowledge of a number of different photographers. Whenever I feel bored, uninspired or tired, I like to visit "Master's of Photography" and scroll through the names I now recognize. Today, I bring you the sweet and slightly sinister images of Emmet Gowin.

Very nice pictures, if not slightly disturbing. Photography is a main thing in my life. And I love to use black and white like he did. I find its make the picture a masterpiece, instead of just a picture.
oo i'm also take a photo course at my highschool and we had a famous photography project so i'm totally familiar w/ that website. his photos are quite powerful.
i love photography ,thank you for posting these pictures ! my favourite is bottom right.
ps: thank you for the birthday wishes, very kind of you :)
i'm always jealous of people who get to take photography classes! It's such an interesting art form...
my favorite photographer is rodney smith. you should really check him out. he does really high fashion surrealist work.
I remember Emmet Gowin. I studied under Jerome Leibling—who turned us on to Gowin—when I was contemplating majoring in photography; I was always somehow disturbed by Gowin's images. I'd forgotten all about him until you reminded me here. Thank you.
WOW!
amazing!
ALL of them!
Fantastic photos. Love the black and white. I left school when I was 16 and have been studying Photography for the past to years at college. I have a few fav photographers but I always think Annie Leibovitz does amazing work for Vanity fair.x
Gorgeous photos and you're right - they do have a very intimate feeling. I love the picture of the little girl...I used to always twist my arms around kind of like that in pictures when i was little haha.
that last picture is absolutely precious.
Wow, great photos - I adore black and white photography and the feeling that you're seeing a family album is sweet!
