My understanding of post modern . . . etct. 1st there's photography; then modern photography begins the historic time-line with a lens shutter for the camera; post modern begins with ready made materials and therefore offers a no-excuses consistency for the craft of photography. I do absolutely not want to venture into a full-on arts consideration for modernism, to post modernism. I deferr to Sartre: "Essays on Aesthetics." By the same token, Qkano did a great job with the full-on arts consideration on this list. After making tons of pictures of our great American and dramatic European mountains, and mountain sports; I'm about making pictures from a fixed point of people within that point of view. Edward Weston said . . . well, he said lots of things.
