I wish I could wander into his photos and hide for a bit.<br><br>@ Chris, welcome back to NvP! Happy to provide a bit of inspiration for you & a new bookmark to add.<br><br>@ Spindeck, Ah, painterly, yes! But the broad expanse of color also makes me think of Rothko. Like Hughes, Rothko's work is also much better in person. I find myself looking for (and enjoying) the bits of underpainting peeking through his layers.NinjaMon, 28 Apr 2008 00:00:13 -0000http://www.ninjavspenguin.com/blog/2008/04/23/photographer-nicholas-hughes/#comment-1360021I am enjoying looking at your presentation of photographer Nicholas Hughes' series having written my BA dissertation on his work, particularly focusing on 'the Edge' (snowscapes) series. <br><br>I like the minimal and contemplative aspect within his work. His photographs are done in an almost painterly manner, which thereby are reminiscent of work such as Rothko's abstract paintings but also theoretically engage in post-modern aspects of Romanticism. <br><br>Good work - even better in original!SpindeckSat, 26 Apr 2008 05:07:07 -0000http://www.ninjavspenguin.com/blog/2008/04/23/photographer-nicholas-hughes/#comment-1360023Wow, back on form! New bookmark, thanks.<br>Some of them remind me of Patricia Macdonald's aerial photographs; the colour and composition and perspective. (They don't look like them though.) Very nice!chrisWed, 23 Apr 2008 10:29:33 -0000http://www.ninjavspenguin.com/blog/2008/04/23/photographer-nicholas-hughes/#comment-1360022The first one gives me a Fargo feeling. I like the last one too, eerie yet inviting.staycWed, 23 Apr 2008 08:59:58 -0000
