This article was about an interview of a famous photographer Duane Michals and how he staged pictures in a sequence to a tell a short story. While is pictures were very simple and plain, you could interpret a lot from his work. He did not study photography and just shot Tri-X in the available light that he had. Not trying to advance with the rest of the world with the technology is what makes his work special and different from others. In the article you also learn about it troubles with his parents, military experiences, and how he became famous. His story is interesting because Duane went against the traditions of fine art. What I took from the article the can benefit my final project is that I should be creative with my ideas and be original because if the story is like everyone else's, no one would want to read it or look at my photos.
