"I was wandering about in the world looking for an interesting place to be, when I realized that where I was was already interesting."
-Emmet Gowin
Emmet Gowin is a photographer and professor at Princeton University. After he finished graduate school at Rhode Island College of Design (RISD) he moved to Danville, VA. He started photographing his wife, Edith and her family in the early 1970s. His pictures explore the relationships in a family, the intimacy between he and Edith finding peace through a chaotic time in American history. After this project, he started to explore the landscape and I will share some of those images with you later on in the semester.
More of his work can be found at the George Eastman House Emmet Gowin page.
The George Eastman House website (linked to the left) is a great resource for finding work by many notable photographers and finding a little more about them.
