Slightly out of focus.

Slightly out of focus is a great website where you can digitally browse through and buy some physical copies of photo essays from the past. Seeing the layouts of the different magazines gives you more of a perspective on the importance of image and text working together to create the story. The site includes work by many photographers we've studied about like:




Henri Cartier Bresson




Dorothea Lange





Margaret Bourke White




Robert Capa, (you should be more than familiar with this photo and the rest of this work by now) one of the founding members of the Magnum photo agency and who the website is named after (After Life magazine messed up Capa's negatives while developing them and then printing captions saying the photos were slightly out of focus due to the excitement of shooting a war scene) "If your pictures aren't good enough then you aren't close enough"



Some later work by Walker Evans.



Some later work which we haven't quiet looked at but you are probably familiar with; the Vietnam War photographs of Larry Burrows.
