Throw Back

Feb 15, 2012 by     2 Comments    Posted under: blog

Tom Jenz, a photographer constantly on the go, documents rural towns and abandoned places. Tom says, “my pictures are reminders of rural and small town culture and the simple self-sufficient life in America used -to-be.” Tom also meets all walks of life during his journey’s such as these two men saying, “I love these 2 old guys…still dressing up, though shabbily, despite today’s casual social norms. Throwbacks from the past.” I had to share this image with you. In a way, Tom’s style and imagery brings me back to one of my favorite writers, Jack Kerouac.  What are your thoughts?

  • There’s something to be said for the simplicity and style of black and white photography. This print defines what we should strive for in fine arts photography. After viewing this, I want to know more about the artist. His vision tells a story.

  • Helena, thank you so much for your comments. I absolutely agree with you. His name is Tom Jenz, he has photographed many subjects, people and places for years. He has quite a nice writing style and you may find more of his work here: http://www.tomjenzamerica.com/writings.html
