an appropriation or an homage? Pt. 3

click 'er for bigger

It wasn't much of a stretch to come up with this one. Struth's combination of images - Paradise & Dusseldorf - are probably more provocative than mine - putting his Paradise in my back yard. I feel like I'm still testing the waters with this "project." Which I'm giving the working title Landscapes in the Landscape. Certainly the 4 x 5 image created during this set up is rather different: more or less no depth of field in order to place the book appropriately and be able to distinguish what it is. The focus is on the book with the background a blur of color. Unlike others, I have little to say about what this is about, other than my love of photography books and making photographs myself. Why not combine them?

This setting is just perfect for this.

Thanks Don. Do you know Struth's work?
