Wynn Bullock

Wynn Bullock was born in Chicago in 1902. Befeore even touching a camara, he was a very good singer. At first he worked with his great tenor voice, singing in a large choir in many preformances across the westren coast. He even sang to the president at one time. He worked with his voice for many years, hoping to make a living out of it. After he married, he went to Paris to work with a very famous voice coach there. This is where he became entranced with the art of photography. After touring an art exhibt of the works of Cézanne, Moholy-Nagy and Man Ray, he returned home with a passion for photography. While working on his photographs, he also ran Arrow Camara in California. He later sold the buisness. Some of his most famous work was displayed in the exhibit A Family of Man.
He works with many patterns of nature in his work. He uses natural swelling and erosion to make his pictures feel alot more natural, but it still makes them unique. And, like all photographers, he also likes to stick a person in the picture to add the human element into the equation. I think his work captures the true nature of some of the strangest forms of nature there is, but some of his photos are on the more contempeory side so you can see more.

This picture seems to really bring out the detail in the tree trunk and the person's hands, making for a great balance between life and nature. Dosen't this look like a guy running his hands through a very wood like beard?

This photograph truly brings out what I said about him getting real close and finding just the right way to shoot it to make it like this, shapeless but still beautiful and mezemerizing. I can't tell what exactly it is, but it almost looks like a girl in some weird negitive light.

This is a picture of a tree trunk on a beach, and this is also the way he uses the the roots to create a interesting picture. The roots look like a skull or something similar to it.

How he was able to take this picture, I don't know. But I really think this is a great picture with the mist covering everything but a few oddly shaped structures, creating a mystical or natural feel to it, but still giving off a modern or urban feel. Anyone have the foggiest idea what the thing in the back is, it looks like some Shinto shrine.

This is a very weird, and very cool tree in the moon light, kinda like the night assignment. The fog and the moon create very distict shadows and make a great picture, eerie, but great.
