Tribute to Susan Meiselas (sort of)
Sun Jul 24, 2005
I've always had a hard describing who my photograpic influences. Quite honestly, i've never paid much attention to other photographers. However there is one photographer whose photograph has always haunted me, and that is of Susan Meiselas Nicaragua, Cuesta del Polomo ( 1978 ) taken in El Savador. The sereneness and the horror of the photo has always lingered in my mind, and on a subtle form perhaps i try to emulate it my photographs. The photo is of an unfortunate soul killed in war in El Salvador.
Below is the photograph i am talking about
