I was thinking so hard today to find a piece to compare with the radiance of Vik Muniz's hair gel photographs, and then all of a sudden it hit me: Steiglitz's equivalents series. Steiglitz photographed these clouds because he was sick of people saying that it was his subjects that held the power that radiated through his images, which made him furious with the implication that he is merely a documenter of what is in front of him. [Quite possibly the worst insult one could give to a photographer.] These images hold up so strongly, and look quite similar to the work I am doing in palladium currently. How relevent these images remain even after all this time.
