Siskind’s photographs have been widely exhibited and he won many awards for his photography, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Distinguished Photography Award from the Friends of Photography. Siskind was a photography instructor at Chicago’s Institute of Design and served as head of the department there from 1961 to 1971. Siskind’s abstract photographs from the late 1940s and early 1950s were a major force in the development of avant-garde art in America. In rejecting the third dimension, this work belied the notion that photography was tied exclusively to representation. As such, Siskind’s work served as an invaluable link between the American documentary movement of the 1930s and the more introspective photography that emerged in the 1950s and 60s.In 1933 he joined the Film and Photo League in New York, a group of documentary photographers devoted to improving social conditions in contemporary society through their pictures. While involved with the League, Siskind made some of his most successful and well-known documentary photographs, including those for The Harlem Document (1937-40), but he had a falling out with the organization in 1941. At the time, his work was assuming a new, more abstract focus, as evident in Tabernacle City, a series of photographs depicting the vernacular architecture of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. When his exhibition of this series at the Photo League caused many members to protest his photography outright, he left the organization and found support among Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, and other painters, who recognized his elimination of pictorial space and his concentration on the arrangement of objects within the picture plane as qualities aligning his work with their own.

LENSES READ AND WRITE

0
  1. All camera systems offer a dizzying selection of lenses. 
  2.  focus on what you plan to shoot
  3. Less expensive lenses will generally have variable apertures
  4.  all major camera and lens manufacturers offer a variety of focal lengths to satisfy most budgets.
  5. More expensive lenses have a fixed aperture
  6. Wide angles give an expansive view
  7. Wide angles are also handy in tight areas, like small rooms, cars, caves, etc
  8.  wide-angle lenses have the potential to drastically change your photography
  9. Standard zoom lenses are great walkaround lenses
  10. standard zooms tend to cover moderate wide-angle focal lengths all the way down to a medium telephoto
  11. prime lenses offer just one focal length, such as 35mm, 50mm, or 85mm
  12. So a standard prime falls somewhere in that 35mm to 85mm standard range
  13. the most popular standard lens was a standard prime: the 50mm
  14. a prime does force you to think more about composition and point of view, simply because it can’t zoom
  15. And prime lenses also tend to be cheaper than optically-equivalent zooms
  16. Telephoto lenses get you close to a subject without actually approaching them
  17. The most popular telephotos seem to be various flavors of 70-300mm or 70-200mm
  18. Telephoto zooms allow you to stand back when the subject isn’t quite as approachable or when your subject might be feeling overwhelmed by the presence of the camera
  19. Telephoto lenses also compress distance, making everything appear closer together, as opposed to wide-angle lenses, which distort perspective and make things look separate.
  20. telephoto lenses are also excellent for sports, nature, and wildlife photography
