Scott Speck
This is a description of what Scott Speck has done, achieved and inspired him to create these wonderful pieces of photography.
‘Though my passion has always been in artistic pursuits, my formal educational background is in math and science, including Bachelors degrees in Physics and Mathematics, as well as Masters degrees in both Astrophysics and Computer Science. Professionally, I have worked with the Hubble Space Telescope project, the James Webb Space Telescope Project, and as a modeling/simulation engineer at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. My art is where I express myself most freely, and I am a self-taught artist and writer with no formal art training. My photography concentrates on film-based pinhole (lensless) photography, most notably of architectures and landscapes, along with some portrait work. I also do lensed photography with large format film cameras and digital single lens reflex cameras. I have been published in print-based books, electronic books, magazines, and blogs, and I have been interviewed for my photography. I show my work at exhibitions, and my art has been purchased by enthusiasts and collectors’ |
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French humanist photographer considered a master of candid photography, and an early user of 35 mm film. He pioneered the genre of street photography, and conceived of photography as capturing a decisive moment. In 1929, Cartier-Bresson's air squadron commandant placed him under house arrest for hunting without a license. Cartier-Bresson met American expatriate Harry Crosby at Le Bourget, who persuaded the commandant to release Cartier-Bresson into his custody for a few days. The two men both had an interest in photography, and Harry presented Henri with his first camera. They spent their time together taking and printing pictures at Crosby's home, Le Moulin du Soleil (The Sun Mill), near Paris in Ermenonville, France. Crosby later said Cartier-Bresson "looked like a fledgling, shy and frail, and mild as whey." Embracing the open sexuality offered by Crosby and his wife Caresse, Cartier-Bresson fell into an intense sexual relationship with her that lasted until 1931.
