In Focus features the work of a photographer whose images speak to us here at T.
In her upcoming book “Far Too Close” (steidlMACK; Fall 2008), the Swedish-born shutterbug Martina Hoogland Ivanow photographs her subjects in all sorts of exotic landscapes from the Kola Peninsula in Russian Lapland to Tierra del Fuego on the southern tip of Argentina. Looking at these ethereal images, you’ll find yourself drifting off to a far away place wondering where exactly you are and how you got there. Bon voyage.

I agree. There's something about most of them that creep me out.

They are quite spooky. They look almost post-apocalyptic.

I find them very creepy also. A bit too dark and depressing.

Because it's art.

I love photography...but these just don't do a thing for me.

Those pictures suck. There is all kinds of wrong going on there concerning the camera adjustments, probably it's done with purpose to achieve some kind of artistic "feel", but it's not working in my opinion.
