Open Mike (a day late): The Way Photographs Should Look
This is an awkward subject, and I m sure my attempts to verbalize it will be awkward and perhaps inept. So please forgive me if my words are insufficient. I m hoping I ll manage to communicate anyway that you ll know what I mean.
All photographs translate the visual world we see with our eyes into some form or other. All of these forms have characteristics. With experience, we learn what characteristics belong to which equipment, techniques, and tastes.

In the age of Instagram, architectural photography has become obsessed with the dramatic roof line, the spiral staircase, the silhouette of an austere geometric form that appears to hover over some rugged mountaintop. This is photography that is carefully illuminated and relentlessly filtered, designed to show a building at only its best angles.
Artist Janna Ireland’s approach is quite the opposite. For four years, she has been photographing buildings designed by Paul Revere Williams, the prolific architect, who for more than half a century helped define the landscape of Los Angeles.
Ireland’s images are quiet and often feature mundane details a dimly lit corner or the point in a home at which three rooms meet. More than 200 of her images are now collected in the book “Regarding Paul R. Williams: A Photographer’s View” (Angel City Press; $60), published in September.
