David Maisel

Take a look at this photography by David Maisel. I'll be interested to see what you all have to say about some of his arial type works because I know we see so much of it these days. But I think he really has a great painter's eye.





He has also done a few series that carry pretty heavy and powerful content and emotion. Here is a shot of a deteriorating can containing the cremated remains of a psychiatric hospital patient.



And here is a shot from a series titled "Asylum."

how much does he alter the color in his images do you think?

I don't know. I thought about that. It certainly seems likely that he does. I almost don't care. Almost.
