Francis Ho Dualities

In much the same fashion as Carleton E. Watkins, Timothy O'Sullivan, and other pioneer cameramen of more than a century ago, photographer Francis Ho utilizes a large format camera in shooting outdoor scenes, often in rugged terrain and under harsh conditions. And, as did the photographers of old, Ho presents a unique vision of the western landscape; with, of course, modern twists.While exploring Gestalt concepts of human perception, Ho arranges his black and white photographs in diptychs, employing a pair of images one on top of the other to create a "whole that is greater than the sum of its parts." This artful imagery presents a unique human vision of the vast natural landscapes of the west, including Hawaii.Witte, Mary is the author of 'Francis Ho Dualities' with ISBN 9780874220827 and ISBN 0874220823.
