IMAGERY! This man can create some imagery. I was drawn to alot of the simplistics in his landscape images. I felt almost a peace out an image that I haven't felt before looking at his work. This was MY FAVORITE. I don't want to sound like I plan to like every photographer we are given to analize but I like to look & actually try to gaze into an image. I want to see what feelings come from looking at certain images. PEACE is what I felt when I looked at this one and I just kept coming back to it.
The planning & framing is contagious. I see leading lines to an end that has no end. It was very pleasing to the eye.
I think Joel is amazing at framing in the camera. Who knows what he does post-work wise but I feel like he is really good and knowing what to leave out....which is something I am currently working on in the images I create for this class.
It was pretty amazing that he could go from this to street photography with so much chaos. I felt like his use of light was phenominal with all the different genres of themes that I saw.
The 911 work was most impressing. For me to be inspired it almost feels like it has to be at sunrise & dusk. The images of 911 created a feeling of fog & atmosphere without actually being during those times. I'm sure the pounds & mounds of dirt helped but what images he created were inspiring for all whom lived through that tragic moment!
This was a perfect example.
Look at the light! Amazing where the highlights in this image fall.

John Phahl and his altered landscapes.....hmmmmm. What to say without describing my likes or dislikes about those types of images he creates. I didn't get it. I think his framing is great but I don't know what he wants a viewer to see when he produces these types of images. ????
I enjoyed the horizon lines on his images. In the middle is borning and it adds more to a photo when you change that horizon line. He has quite a few monochromatic images that were very pleasing to the eye. I felt his composition was very creative. He definetley thinks outside of the box even if you can't quite understand it; this is what I think sets him apart.
