Photographs by Ed Templeton
Ed Templeton's photographs are a prime example of what I'm interested in. He shoots people (something I am trying to do more of.) and objects such as road kill. I feel this series conveys a sort of observational documentary aesthetic that intrigues me both in still photography and motion picture. These photographs have a southern feel that are unmistakable.

I can almost smell that southern convenience store smell when I look at these photos. I can also see this little girl's mom. She wears jeans that are too tight and a dirty t-shirt. I almost feel like the depression-era photographer Margaret Bourke White would be taking her photos in convenience stores, Amscots and Wal-Marts if she was around today.
skate or die.
I remember a few drawings of his. I think these two photographs are much more visually appealing though.
These are the kinda moment sand scenes that can only properly be portrayed with film. Even photo realists, I dont care much for them, they wouldnt succeed in the mood this accomplishes. The medium is so important here.
Photos of babies are the best! :D
