Awkward Stock Photography: A Revolving Exhibit
Recently, we’ve decided to become patrons of the arts.
More specifically, patrons of some of our most under-appreciated and arguably talented photographers working today. Without these valuable artisans, the gears of our advertising, website design, and multimedia production industries would grind to a horrible, horrendous halt. These skilled craftsmen, toiling for meager pay and even less recognition, have labored in the shadows for far too long.
Which is why we are proud to showcase the work of some our generation’s next great photographic geniuses: The Stock Photographers. Don’t be fooled by their humble name, there is nothing generic about these master lensmen. Like their NASCAR brethren, these everyman virtuosos are able to take that which is “stock”, ordinary, routine, and transform it into something extraordinary. And, in this case, something extraordinarily awkward. This is:
Awkward Stock Photography.
The first series in our revolving exhibit is titled “Old Woman Goes to the Park”. It tells the simple, universal story of an aging woman trying to reconnect to her distant, fading youth while visiting the park with her grandson. It’s a moving portrait of love, loss, and coming to terms with the cruel, finite nature of our own existence.
(All photographs include original titles as noted by the artist, as well as dates and the model of camera used. All photos were purchased through reputable online stock photo agencies with a portion of proceeds going directly to the artist.)
