Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, don’t care if you are. I didn’t mean to be harsh, but I’ve taken enough photo classes, I’m familiar with this depressed liberal male vein of photography, believe me. I think you have talent, but like a lot of young photographers are avoiding direct engagement and confrontation with your subject matter, which creates a detached and even depressed reaction in your viewer.

If that’s what you’re going for, then so be it, but I’ve always felt that photographs which more directly engage the subject matter are more powerful, and that really is where more of the depth and passion is. There’s so much content in the human face, in the body, in situations, so much that the magazines and newspapers and tv leave out. Good photos yell at you, that frozen moment is a form of poetry. I just think you’re ignoring the world when you take a picture of the gutter. Yes, apathy has a certain grace, but it’s also a form of blindness, in my opinion. There’s so much more out there.

I like your photos Austin, but you take pictures the same way a lot of college freshmen do, really passive and timid. Old houses, puddles, out of frame portraits, long-distance compositions, no flash, etc. It’s all very predictable. Don’t be so afraid of your camera, or yourself, and your photos will get better, seriously.

Nice texture, kind of a cliched image though. Looks like a pre-framed postcard print on sale at gift shop. Although, sometimes that is what sells.
