Third Floor Photo Society

Jim Fiscus is an alumni from the A&M-Commerce (formerly East Texas State) photo program, who, with his wife Lisa, have had an incredible career and effect on digital photography these days. He has a very specific style to his images, sometimes I think he takes it too far, but you should check out his site here and try to find info on how he creates his images here. It's an abbreviated explanation to his method, but still interesting.

With all the recent discussion over Richard Prince's work (link) (link) , and the obvious influence that Marcel Duchamp has had on him, I thought it would be interesting to see what people thought of Jasper Johns' work. Duchamp was also a large influence on Johns' paintings, who in turn was an influence on Pop artists and Minimalist painters. Feel free to post some opinions up on here about it, anyone can. There's a great biography on Jasper Johns at the PBS site , and you can view some of his work here

Hey everybody, the next show from the Third Floor Photo Society is going the be the Scapes show, one in which you should enter any image you think could be a "scape" of something, ie landscape, cityscape, bodyscape, .... whateverscape. Entries are due this Tuesday October 2nd and the show will open Wednesday October 3rd at 7 pm. Kind of a short deadline but I'm sure we can find some work to put up right? Turn in entries to Checkout employees on the Third Floor of the Journalism Building, and come to the opening Wednesday night!!!
