Born in the 1940s in Southern California, Jo Ann Callis began making her remarkable contributions to the photographic realm in the late 1970s; she has a peculiar view of the world, and of how photos can and should be taken. Her website hosts over ten separate categories of pictures taken; some of them are similar, and others are vastly different, and yet they all display skillful technique. My favorite collection was called Ballast and showcases the art of objects and models in motion: a yanked tablecloth here, a man doing push-ups there. The light and shadows are interesting to see, but the phantom colors she creates by capturing these various hasty movements could never be captured in the same way if they'd just been sitting pretty.
