In my physical journal, i talk a lot on this entry but it all seems to turn out into a kind of erotic and sensual homage to hands. As you can see, i have many photographers i admire but only the top 3 deserve recognition in this post for they have been by far the most influential. Specially, Steiglitz's series, the one of his wife O'Keeffe. Hands, objects, metal, skin, soft and rough. His contrasts are just so amazing. Then we have Stiechen, whose "The Flatiron" series highly influenced one of my latest series called "Afternoons" that was at the Chance show. Finally, Strand, i have to include, because his photos although not amazing (in my opinion) have something that have always called my attention but that i have to this day yet to figure out. Perhaps it is his portraiture or all of the three photographers' works squished together that while complementing themselves all attract me. I don't know what it is yet but here are some of my favorite images of the each of them.
