Still Life Photography - Part One

In this three-part blog, our class has been asked to post 18 Still Life images over the course of three weeks, all from the work of the following photographers: Irving Penn, Edward Weston, Jan Groover, Olivia Parker, Zeke Berman, Patrick Nagatani, Ruth Thorne Thomsen, and Sandy Skoglund.  As far as I can tell, we were not asked to write aout why we chose them, but rather to simply post them.  Going along with the theory that a picture is worth a thousand words, I will allow these photographer's works to speak for themselves.
