Keith Carter

Keith Carter was born in Madison, Wisconsin. He learned of photography from his mother, and when he was pursuing a Business Degree in college, actually found himself more drawn to photography. He ended up pursuing photography without any previous education--he was entirely self-taught. I admire Keith Carter's ambition. We watched a film about Keith Carter in my photography class. It was interesting to see how he just wouldn't give up, photography is like breathing for him. He loved it and lived for it. It was his true love, perhaps. His works resemble photographs taken with Holga cameras in that they have blurring and vignetting on the edges. I think this makes them more interesting and captivating than if they were completely crisp and clean.
