More Typologies

I've been thinking a lot about typologies lately and how I can use their structure to better my current work. I am thinking of creating small sets of typologies then choosing images that work with each other from each set to create my final project.

Tonight I discovered this nifty website: Ridgemont Typologies
There are 15 typology sets in the series, and the artist's statements are well researched and thought provoking.

Typologies

After completely failing to find the book Rachel mentioned to me in class and/or recall the name of the typology photographer I researched last year, I decided to do some internet snooping which to my surprise led me to to a bevvy of information.

I found a whole heaps of artists who create typologies...
Stephen Shore
Bernd and Hilla Becher
Jeff Brouws
Amanda Keller-Konya
Francis Poole
Rafal Bigda

And a few blogs like this one discussing typologies...

Ground Glass

This particular blog references an amazing Typology project also referenced in Rachel's blog called Exactitudes.

Finally I also found an artist on Flickr who's work has given me a rather large spark of inspiration.
Jessica Greaves is a french photo student interested mostly in nature photography.
I am mostly interested in her typologies as well as her photo processing and the way she uses heavy vignetting and colour distortion to give her images a vintage feel.

These are my favourite sets:
Train Ticket Typology
Coastal Expressionism
