Philipp Scholz Rittermann, "Burnt-Out Warehouse",
1987, Gelatin-silver print
The photographer's name was Philipp Scholz Rittermann, he love uses urban, industrial and natural landscapes to analyze the ends of our environment. The most famous works he did was in the Museum of Photographic Art, San Diego published a monograph of his work titled "Navigating by Light."
I choose this picture because he just choose black & white to creating images which are often used as visual anchors in architectural spaces. In my mind, this images can reflections of the gap between the rich and poor. Sometimes person just can focus on how wonderful and bustling in Texas but ignore that there are many person do not have a home even their home been burn out. It also tell us there are many things we can't control and this is our real world.
So that's why I love the Black and White photograph because it looks simple but it can shows in a directly way to reflect many things and give visuals a different senses.
