Paul Clark

 Paul Clark's photograph




The photographer that I decided to pick is actually a local to my hometown. His name is Paul Clark. His photographs inspired me to pick him as my focus this week because I really like to shoot with the flower setting on. I also like how he took objects such as fences that are not permanent where they are and make the subjects behind the fences blurry. His photos just really got me wondering how many things may look different behind chain link fences or construction fences. So for this week I walked around Shorewood and tried to find subjects that looked really interesting from a perspective of through a chain link fence or a construction fence.

About Me

Well my name is Shawn. I am currently a Senior this year at UWM but have one more year after this for my major. I am going to school for History Education at the High School level with minors in Economics, Geography, and Special Education. I am taking this class because I need a Fine Arts class and I figure I know a little about photography but would definitely want to learn more on it. The picture that I posted is from my family vacation through the Smoky Mountains and South Carolina. The picture that is posted is from a stream that ran down and through the Smoky Mountains. I really like this picture because it shows the beauty of the stream running through the shallow rock formations. Well I hope that I get a lot of information out of this class on how to use different features on my digital camera in this class.
