Look to a Master - Sam Abell (1951-1990)



No name or year, but I think it was taken more recently
( I mainly just did the year categories by what  year the photographers were born in, \
not when the photographs were taken)
From "The Life of a Photograph" by Sam Abell, the book was published in 2008

What interests me about the work of Sam Abell is how simple a lot of his photographs are. Like the one take n on the Oregon Coast, it's a very simple photograph but has good composition and is just interesting to look at and analyze. For the second one, I really like how the dolphin seems to be looking back at the dog while it's in midair (the fact that the dolphin is midair like that ride next to a boat also makes this photo really cool), and I also like the hand holding that dog back that is popping up at the bottom of the photo, really good composition.
