Mayteana colon weekly artist post 1

Arnold Kramer

1)      The work is specifically frontal. He uses a black and white scheme to capture everyday living space. He seems to only be a foot or two from his scenes, capturing images in a close proximity. His pictures are strictly scene with no live people involved.

2)      The work seems to signify the simplicity of everyday living. It gives light to the beauty of the mundane world. The black and white aspects of these photos seem to hint at that as well, giving his work a sense of normality. His work shows that the living spaces are obviously occupied but no subjects are scene maybe symbolizing living but not being present in the world.

3)      I liked these photos because they show the real. The simplicity and straight forwardness s interesting. He doesn’t photograph a pretty picture, his work has substance. I also liked the black and white theme, it added depth the photos that I don’t think would have been there if they had been in color.
