Olivia Parker
Olivia Parker started her career as a painter after graduating from Wellesley College in 1963 with a degree in Art History. She became intrigued with photography in 1970. She mostly taught her self about photography and how to take pictures. She usually constructs what she photographs in the studio.
The themes in my work include: diagrams of the unseeable, words considered for both their verbal and visual presence, games, double meanings, maps, an interplay of natural and man-made structures, pure gesture, perspectives of how different things are thought of at different times, things taken apart and reassembled in the present.

Jerry Uelsman
These are my favorite Jerry Uelsmann photos. They are very detailed and clearly planned out. Jerry was born in Detroit, Michigan on June 11th 1934. He attended a public school and never really cared about his work. During his high school years he became interested in photography and wanted to be a photographer and felt very passionately about this.
- Henri Cartier Bresson
He was born and attended a school a school in a village not far from Paris. In 1927–28 he studied in Paris with Andre Lhote, an artist and critic associated with the Cubist movement.In more than 40 years as a photographer, Cartier-Bresson wandered continually around the world. But there was nothing compulsive about his travels, and he explicitly expressed a desire to move slowly, to “live on proper terms” in each country, to take his time, so that he became totally immersed in the environment - He was a french photographer born in August 22nd, 1908 and died August 3rd 2004.
This is a quopte of his; "To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event".
