Alexey Titarenko

One Photographer whose work i particularly like is Alexey Titarenko. I enjoy looking at the long shutter speeds that he uses to generate a ghostly image in the city, of people doing their shopping or going about their daily business. I feel that these images are fantastic for several reasons, and can have a lot of meaning if you read into them. They firstly show just how much movement there is in the city on throughout the day. Secondly i feel that these images show the passage of time really well and how the way in which things change with time differ with this change in time. For example the busy people moving around in a blur shows that we are always changing and dislike being tied down to one place. it also shows how in general we don't like to waste time by aimlessly hanging around. In contrast to this however it the sharp in focus buildings show that although they do change with the passage of time, they are effected much less and slower than we are effected and that they are in-effected buy our over busy lifestyle.

I can also read in to the images been in black and white and ghostly could either show how we pass on from the world into nothingness, or that we often think of memories as foggy black and white and unclear, often being busy and confusing.
