A Start
The more i looked a Paul Strand's photos I liked what I saw, so I chose him. I also learned more about modernism, and liked how Strand embraced all types of photography, i.e. portraits, landscapes, etc.
Here are some of my attempts, i converted them to black and white using photoshop elements 7.0... yuck, i can't wait to get cs4 this week ;)

Paul Strand (1890-1976)
Strand was a “modernist” that wanted to convey realism with his photography. He did this primarily with use of light on a subject matter of people, places and things to convey that realism.

I enjoy the way White take normal everyday things and turns them into something special with his use of light. This is the type of photography that I want to shoot.
My theme would revolve around light and shadows, my homage would be an attempt to take shots that will connect emotion from the viewer with the image.
