week 3 assignment critique

3 photos, and critical critique
selected from the books by Margaret Morton:

from left:

the tunnel 1995

transitory gardens 1993



fragile dwellings 2000

My critique goes something like this:

Margaret Morton's photographs are beyond art. They are documentation. Therefore the critique presented is taken with a grain of salt, because of the underlying subject matter.

for these photos-

The photo from Fragile dwellings, I liked the angle, and the backround feel of the city at large, as well knowing where the space lies in proximity to the bridge. The black and white photo style, again lends itself to shadow and rawness in all three photos.

For The Tunnels, I admire the light effects. All this photo is missing is the stench of the tunnels. That sweet-sour smell of decay and garbage, with metallic and wet mixed in for good measure.

Transitory Gardens, is great portraiture. Margaret Morton studies her subject in his own standing, which is important, and captures the pride.
