richard misrach


Richard Misrach, on first glance, seems to be somewhat of a tropical photographer and I reeeeaaallyy like this aspect of photography, given my fascination with the beach! 
Untitled #704-03, 2003

I think the most notable thing that he has ever done was take photos of the aftermath of Hurricane Ketrina with a 4 megapixal pocket camera.  He recieved a B.A. in Psychology and now resides in Berkley, California.  He has been in several notable shows and is widely known for his desert caddos work.  He shoots in the desert and he states that the desert is the last landscape untouched by humans.  In the 70's he also helped bring mainstream the large format print, whis is widely popular now. 
I really like his work because he depicts humans and human structure from an almost god-like observation point.
