The undisputed father of colour photography, the southern gentleman is known for his "war with the obvious" is also known to include cars in most of his photos. But don't expect the normal stuff.

I've come across some of his work before and have always liked it, the last shot in this series in particular is excellent, it makes you want to know what the two people look liek and what they are talking about, no matter how mundane it may be.

A photo that real does draw you in and make you want to know more about its setting and situation.


I also like the idea of this thread, to date the threads in this subforum have mainly focused on our own work and kit (quite naturally), but threads that show and promote the work of others (well know or not) are a great direction and open up new areas of discussion.

Kudos for the thread and the idea.
