Francis Toissaint has been a true source of inspiration and the first photographer from the digital communities that captured my attention. At pbase:
//www.pbase.com/francist
you can find a large collection of his digital pictures from 2001-2003. Unfortunately he died in 2003, depriving us of the beauty of his work. This #4 issue of the pbase magazine pays tribute to Francis giving us some facts about his life.

I hope those who did not know his work alrealdy can enjoy it now.

| The focus on this image is dead on! Amazing how the veins of the leaves are clearly shown and the background blur is just right ;) The leaf to the upper left could have been clones out as it doesn't really add much to the image IMHO. Great job! |

| Thanks - another great photographer I hadn't known of before - and your work reflectes Toussaint's depth and richness of color. Very nice! |

II looked up this photographer whom I've never heard of and she only comes up as someone who exhibits on Pbase. Every bit of google info I got on her linked back to pbase. I guess she is well known in the pbase community but my understanding of this challenge extended more toward really well-known photographers---someone whose work can be seen outside the non-juried digital community perhaps, i.e, in galleries, books,and museums.
Anyway, I took a minute to browse through her stuff and I guess this kind of emmulates her close-up nature stuff. The difficulty I have is that I didn't find her work all that original or even captivating, just extremely prolific. My suggustion is you check a few collections of works by master photographers.
On its own merit, this is a nice study of texture and line, if not particularly engaging to me. |
