Yesterday while bottling a very tasty Belgian dark ale with a friend we were discussing the images of Edward Weston and other famous large format photographers. We were looking at published works from various books.
Our discussion centred around "what did they see" and "how did they react" to their GG images.
To illustrate this point we looked at a large majority of EW's [and other's] work upside down [not reversed] instead of the normal manner of viewing and it highlighted some very interesting aspects of the way they approached their work.
Questions??
When you use your GG do you relate to it in any particular manner?
What does the GG tell you?
And is there anything in particular you gain from the inverted image that is not necassarily visual in the final print but is affected by things you saw?
