The ModFab Gallery: Weightless Edition
Last week's ModFab Gallery competition for Best In Show was won by a shot that surprised me...not that I don't have faith in you all, understand, but it seems to me an unlikely choice given the showiness of the recent winning photos. The prize goes to Positive Negative's BCF, a wonderful choice and a sublime, understated work. Congratulations!
James Coglan is a 21-year-old Physics student at Jesus College, Oxford...but the world at large probably knows him better through Weightless, his elegantly formalist photoblog. James captures a wide canvas -- much of Europe, really -- with a street-level view on the sociological moment at hand. Whether the subject is speeding commuters on the London Underground, an animal rights demonstration (the photo above), a desolate Austrian traffic intersection, or the square stolidity of a castle in Prague, the photos explore the interaction (or lack of interaction) between the individual and the environment. There's a serene, quiet beauty to his photos...not showoffy, just still and present. A sense of floating in space. Perhaps that's why the blog is called Weightless, eh?
