Tina Modotti
This is not my photo... I wish it was! This is a photo, "The hands of the marionette player", was taken by Tina Modotti, who learnt photography from Edward Weston in Mexico. It was taken exactly 80 years ago and is currently exhibited at the SFMoMA. I always find it amazing how a photo taken with simple technology almost a centaury ago is deeper and more thought provoking than the bulk of the images I see today. It makes me think all that digital technology distracts more than it helps.
I also have my own (inferior) image from today: #1.
