Alrighty hello friends,
So I am writing this and I am extremely ill, the doctor has no idea whats wrong with me, god bless modern medicine. Anywhoo, I am trying to do work over here, and I want to do photo things, so here we go get excited.
I found Martin Parr like 3 years ago. I find his work to be brilliant and absolutely terrifyingly odd and hilarious at the same time. I feel like so often we look for deep images. The type of image that has that wow effect the moment you see it. I never really get that feeling with Parr's work. This tern I have seen beautiful demonstrations of pure horror in photography. Some shots stick with you, and some shots have with me. They have so much emotion, so much depth, and so many of them will never let me forget them. And until seeing Martin's photography I felt like that is what photography was to me.
Martin Parr take a very different and strong stance against this type of one raw shot photography. He shoots things, such as nudist conventions, people ignoring beauty and shopping, food, food consumption, people tanning, and his newest project, the last parking space. Its different, it is incredible odd, and I love it. It makes me laugh, and I find my self asking, are humans really like. I find his work to be awesome. Here are some of his images, and even more of my comments. By the way he is the photographer that makes me say seriously more than ever before.
