La Louvre by Robert Gardiner This photo is from an artist named Rob Gardiner. He works from a pinhole camera- giving it a 1.5-15 minute exposure time. I like his style because he combines a lot of different elements and subjects in his work. He mostly photographs scenery, but there are figures in his art as well. I like how he doesn't stick to only one subject and continues to explore.
This image of la Louvre of Paris was one of the photos that stuck out to me. I saw the Louvre when I studied abroad in France last fall (2006), and so I feel a connection with the subject matter. I like how Rob Gardiner played with the reflection off of the pyramid. Also, he combines new and old- the newly constructed pyramid with the actual building from the 12th century. The combination shows the new-age advancement accompanied by the history that makes the city of Paris truly amazing. I view this picture as a comment on history and how time elapses and changes- how design and art develop and influence each other over the centuries, how the old and the new are both equally amazing.
