Michael Kenna

My parents went to a lecture last week by Michael Kenna, which I really wanted to go see.  Unfortunately life gets in the way sometimes, and I had to work.  But I went by the gallery this afternoon to see his photographs.  Seeing stunning work like his makes me want to learn more about photography.  Lately I've been wanting to experiment with both a Holga as well as a pinhole camera, and my dad said that some of Michael's photos were taken with a Holga, which makes me doubly inspired.  

It's so funny to me how sometimes life conspires upon you, and the same idea will present itself to you multiple times in the span of a week.  I've been wanting to experiment with long exposures lately, and want so badly to take one tracking the path of the stars, centered on the North Star, and of course, there in his exhibit is one similar to this one.
