Today's Pictures in the Magnum Blog

I liked the bride and groom and the two little children in the car - I like the juxtaposition of the separateness (in sleep) of the couple who were just joined 'as one' and the closeness of the two little children - who could almost represent the couple at another time
but I think my very favorite was the last one - the young man asleep - his head and arm pointed toward the river which gave the photo a sort of slow and dreamlike sense of movement.
I really liked the colors of the water and sky and his clothes - the whole thing works together very well to illustrate 'dream'.
Really nice - thanks for posting this.

great series, i like this one



interestingly enough lambton county is only about two hours from me

Aidan, I liked both of those too, for the same reasons..
dj, neat depth of field, plus the relative unbusyness of the background and the strong presence of the car and people in the foreground.

Strangely, that car scene sort of reminds me of the famous Keinholz art piece, which I got to see when it was first exhibited at LACMA. They're quite different, which is why I say "strangely". Maybe I link them because of looking at a car interior, with people ... and with a blankish background.



Well, that's a sculpture. The photo reminds me of some other photos as well, but I can't pull them out of my mind's eye right offhand.

that's wonderful - I'd never seen it before- love the blue of the car and it reminds me of my third favorite in the sleep series - of the foot and the hammock.

I liked the one dj picked too - the era of the car and the plains setting reminded me immediately of the movie Badlands with a young Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek- very atmospheric.

oh, i like that piece very much

I remember it being wildly controversial at the time.. people were shocked, shocked, shocked. I saw it on a date with my first serious boyfriend (would you like to go to the museum?). He knew much more about art than I had any clue about and even though I'd been to the museum before, I learned a lot about what I was looking at that day, the start of learning how to look. He was a brilliant guy, so it goes.

Back to Keinholz, now there's an interesting person..

On the photo, I also thought of Bonnie and Clyde.. again obviously different, but an image in my mindfiles.
