John Messinger

Last week John Messinger came to speak with our class about his work. He does his work using an old polaroid camera which I thought was very interesting as it seems polaroid along with film are both dying off in an age full of digital technology. Which he did touch on talking about how Fuji film had just discontinued fp-100c which was his favorite along with many others. Luckily for John he actually partnered up fuji film for the Photo Plus expo and got his hands on a very large amount of the film prior to it being discontinued. Johns work is fantastic the way he brings together all of these small images to create one large very abstract and intriguing images. He was very inspiring and made me feel like the world was wasn't such a scary place and it can be conquered. He had a lot of views that I share as well like to keep pushing and trying to accomplish whatever it is you want no matter what you have to do. Heres some of his work.
