Featured: Anna Shelton – “Natural, Reverent, Archaic”

Posted by Bryan Formhals on March 08, 2010


photographs ©Anna Shelton – Title from Interview on FILE MAGAZINE

Anna’s work has been featured on several websites, but I somehow missed those features.  Instead it was on Flickr that I discovered her hypnotic polaroid landscapes. I was discussing her work with James the other night and I said that it made me feel like I was entering her magical natural world.  Sometimes you can’t articulate why a body of work resonates with you, which doesn’t bother me because that’s a signal that it’s working on a different level, somewhere beyond the verbal.

All we have is now! by Pierre Wayser

Posted by Bryan Formhals on February 10, 2010

I mean I had a statement ( concealed somewhere ) when I was 18 ( like almost anybody ) then another at 25, and so on…

— “Dear, I have another statement on life and photography !”
— “Again !”
— “All we have is now !”
— “You said that yesterday, honey !”

I first came across Pierre’s work through Raoul Gatepin’s favorites on Flickr. He doesn’t add too many and for awhile they all seemed to be from Pierre which caught my attention.  I was impressed with how he’s continued to make excellent photographs through the years.  His work is eclectic, moving from documentary, to street, to the intimate and personal.  Enjoy.

Sicily by Dalton Rooney

I enjoy these quiet black and white photographs Dalton Rooney made in Sicily.  I want to say these have a Japanese feel to them but my knowledge of Japanese photography is to thin to make such a statement.  I also recommend Dalton’s blog, third nature which focusses on landscape photography. And if  you’re looking for a simple, clean, easy portfolio site, Dalton has created a new WordPress theme for artists.

I am  a photographer working from a farm base in the Lake District in England.

This is the first in what will hopefully be several featured essays from individual photographers.  I’ve been following Kate’s work for awhile now and have always been impressed with how she takes the street photographers approach and applies it to a rural setting.  Instead of humans moving through the city, you have animals moving through the countryside.  And through her work, we see that Kate is at home in both settings.

Thomas said his camera broke so the blog might be a little slow, but it’s still worth checking out, and adding to the RSS.
