Christopher Burkett\u2019s makes accurate representation an extension of his spirituality; he celebrates Creation by faithfully transcribing \u201cThe Book Of Nature\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"12PhotographsCelebrated_JohnPaulCaponigro_03\"<\/p>\n

Paul Caponigro\u2019s \u201cGalaxy Apple\u201d reveals a macrocosm within a microcosm, demonstrating the power of metaphor; ordinary things are seen as extraordinary.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"12PhotographsCelebrated_JohnPaulCaponigro_04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eliot Porter\u2019s photography intuited more complex realtionships in nature before the field of chaos science was popularized.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"12PhotographsCelebrated_JohnPaulCaponigro_05\"<\/p>\n

Pollution or blood? A tense mystery is created by Edward Burtyinsky\u2019s beautiful images of distressed landscapes.<\/p>\n

\"12PhotographsCelebrated_JohnPaulCaponigro_06\"<\/p>\n

Richard Misrach\u2019s Desert Cantos<\/i> examines a single subject (the American desert southwest) in many different ways over a long period of time, creating a dense web of interconnections.<\/p>\n

\"12PhotographsCelebrated_JohnPaulCaponigro_07\"<\/p>\n

Adam Fuss\u2019 photograms, as much about shadow as light, share a stance similar to many abstract painters who point to the object created more than what it refers, while at the same time highlighting the distortions that lenses can bring to representation. The questions his work raise are generative.<\/p>\n

Walter Chappelle\u2019s Metaflora series creates images with plants, electricity, and photosensitive paper in complete darkness. What else can\u2019t we see? What would we see if we could?<\/p>\n

Robert and Shana Parke-Harrison\u2019s post-apocalyptic poems perform acts of care for the natural world despite their odds of success.<\/p>\n

\"12PhotographsCelebrated_JohnPaulCaponigro_11\"<\/p>\n

Courageous and honest or perverse and self-indulgent? The complex mix of beauty and taboo, infused with death and sexuality, and guilded with art historical references and fine craft is extremely provocative. It\u2019s honest but is it Truthful? Is it wise?<\/p>\n

\"12PhotographsCelebrated_JohnPaulCaponigro_12\"<\/p>\n

Andy Goldsworthy\u2019s photographs are all most of us see of his ephemeral earth works often made in remote locations. So what\u2019s the real art? The performance? The object created? The photographic record? The books that collects those records? All of it?<\/p>\n

Photographers look at and understand photographs differently than the average viewer. Their years of unique personal experience with the medium is special. For me, their insights open new windows into the medium, the world, and myself. I hope they do the same for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

In this series of posts, each photographer selects 12 if their favorite photographs and provides a short insight into why these images are so moving\u00a0to them.<\/p>\n

I’m kicking off a\u00a0series of photographer’s celebrating photographs.<\/p>\n
