Robert Polidori

Montreal-born photographer Robert Polidori is best known for his architectural studies, in particular interpreting rooms as 'memory theatres'. He is a staff photographer for The New Yorker and his book, After the Flood (portraying images of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina) caused much controversy, as one photograph showed a deceased person in a bed. However, it was these magnificent large-scale color images - shot in Versailles - that caught my eye...

Shadows and Light

While on the subject of photographer Christophe Dugied... the work (below) entitled "Les Terrasses" found its inspiration from the interiors of an old castle. A large format camera was used, using color negative film. In his own words:

“I love painting especially the work of William Hammershoi and Edward Hopper. I like the silence they bring into their canvas, I like the space they leave for contemplation and the fact that the harmony that exudes from their work is always in conjunction with a sense of enigma".

I am lucky enough to have been to the wondrous Alex Raskin Antiques in Savannah, Georgia. It is housed in the Noble Hardee Mansion, and is every bit as breathtaking as it looks...
