Blue Evening Promenade

South Battery Sidewalk, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok


Evening light illuminates a walkway on Charleston's South Battery. This images falls under the spell of this week's Favorite Photographer Friday selection, Pete Turner. Like Ernst Haas (last week's FPF pick), Pete Turner was an early master of color photography, and is esteemed as one of the 20 most influential photographers of all time. One critic described his work as having "a dramatist's sense of event, intense and saturated coloration, and a distinct if indescribable otherness."


Please take a few moments to enjoy the link to Pete Turner's work,
and have fun photographing this weekend.

    Very mysterious and charming photo. The color tones are beautiful. I have noticed: the pavement is in the same poor condition like here :)

    phenomenal light management and stunning tones in this wonderful "tunnel" vision, doug! many fascinating detail stick out here, e.g. the warped sidewalk or the branch hit by the sunlight at the end of the fence! i also followed the link to the photos of pete turner, of whom i'd never heard before, but some of whose pictures are familiar. great treatment of color there, too, though some of the very blurred "artsy" shots don't appeal to me so much!

    Really beautiful color. I can see why the link is to Pete Turner. And thanks for that, I hadn't thought about him in a long time. One of the greats.
