Teel Mountain Road - Greene County, Virginia

On the web: Two photographers

A theme that I hope Photography: In Place can expand on over time is the notion of photographing things close to home. Photographers working in the area where they live day to day often develop a special connection to the places they photograph, a "sense of place."

Kathleen Connally has a lovely way of seeing, and as the title of her blog, A Walk Through Durham Township, suggests, she photographs the things close to where she lives in Durham Township, Pennsylvania. Her work is documentary but at the same time beautifully expressive.

Carl Weese is a photographer widely known for his large format work that is contact printed in platinum/palladium. His website features several galleries of this work and is well worth a visit. But in his blog, Working Pictures, Carl presents less formal work with a small camera and shows a remarkable ability to illuminate the ordinary urban places close to his home in Connecticut.

Links to these photographers have been added to the "Links" in the sidebar.
