This image (above) by Emmet Gowin, 1967, Gelatin silver print, was taken from the World History of Photography Book, and interests me because of the Candid nature that the image takes, similar to thise of Mary Ellen Mark, again, it captures many elements connected to the Human Condition, because we appear to be viewing a close family portrait, the sister in the center seems as though she may be disabled and the looks of the others enquire why we are looking. There is a sadness and also an irritation about the work.Friday 5 February 2010
