Sally Mann
Sally Mann’s photography processes were amazing. She continues to make her own filters by dying glass platelets similar to the works of Ansel Adams. Although I am not a fan of her images, her exposure techniques are quite interesting. I think it is mostly from my experience of the digital world of photography or maybe just the inexperience with these type of hands-on techniques, without technology doing most of the work. I believe that if photography is a passion, like it is for me, rethinking the structure within photography and the uniqueness of each image should be allow one to grasp these wonderful ideas brought on by old school photographical techniques not relying solely on the new world of the true photographic image.

her final product looks similar to Ansel Adams black and white and filtered photos… not really the types of techniques he may have used…
Also, the film shows Sally dying the glass platelets? this is what it seemed like she is doing but I may not know the technical terms, as I reveal in most of my blogs, my inexperience to such techniques and terms. I just needed to respond as I saw or think of things as per requirements issues.

not much enhancing is completed such as in digital photography… it is what it is… the final product
