The Emperor Returns

A Moment in Photographic History:
United Statesian photojournalist/portraitist Mary Ellen Mark was born March 20, 1940 in Philadelphia.

A Photographic Quote of Note:

The difficulty with color is to go beyond the fact that it’s color – to have it be not just a colorful picture but really be a picture about something. It’s difficult. So often color gets caught up in color, and it becomes merly decorative. Some photographers use [ it ] brilliantly to make visual statements combining color and content; otherwise it is empty.

  5. Oswegan Says:

    I like this. It looks like it is through a frozen windo or a collage of two photos.

  6. Lynne Says:

    This is what happens when you don’t really read very carefully. I thought Oswegan said it looked like a frozen wino. I went back and looked at the photo to see if he looked like a wino and thought he didn’t. Just like a young Emperor.

    Beautiful image, was it through a frozen window?

    Was looking through your archives and discovered this unusual one. I love the texture and the vagueness…. leaves one with a bit of mystery.
