Mark Steinmetz

Since school is upon us, I have been thinking a lot about both black and white photography as well as teaching. I was looking through some sites I have in my bookmarks, and came across some of Mark Steinmetz photographs. I am just getting back into looking at B&W stuff since I am currently teaching it at Saint Xavier University.

The first few photos are from his project Greater Atlanta. To me, this work really shows the complexity of Place, something I think a lot about when it comes to my own work. His book of this work was recently released by Nazraeli Press.







This group of photographs is from his 2006 project entitled Cleveland Schoolteachers. I have been thinking about teaching recently and I think these articulate a lot of the different and sometimes difficult interactions between teachers and students.
