Earlier this week I made a very chilly walk over to the Athenaeum Center for Thought and Culture to check out the exhibition of Roger Deakins' photography. Deakins is one of the greatest cinematographers ever and has a country ton of classics to his name including Sid and Nancy, The Shawshank Redemption, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Skyfall, Blade Runner 2049 - the list goes on and on.
It was a really neat exhibition as I don't get to see many physical photographs these days, much less those blown up to 20"x30" with a wealth of detail to see. It's just a different experience from looking at a photo on your phone and zooming and repositioning.
I was immediately drawn to a photograph called "Sheepdog and Cow":
The road with the canine and bovine subjects is off to the right with a fence separating it from a field on the left. That's how I would have done it! I often put a path or way off to one side in my photographs such as this one:
I have the same photographic aesthetic as the great Roger Deakins. Ha!
