Christopher Burkett

I actually found Christoper Burkett on wikipedia. I had googled for a list of large format photographers and just started looking at different artists on the wikipedia list. I'm drawn to Burkett's images because of the natural imagery (something I think I really want to do). I also love his use of color and textures. Some of his images become abstracted, and I just look at the lines and textures, which is something I do in my own work and really respond to. He travels all around the US to photograph using an 8x10 camera and makes enlargements to 20x24, 30x40 and 40x50 (I would love to see his images that big). He also makes some medium format images and large form panoramic images.
