A Man on the Banks of the Mississippi, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 1995

A Man on the Banks of the Mississippi, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 1995: Joel Sternfeld’s projects can perhaps be divided into two general groups: site-specific landscapes somehow connected to human presence (though people are rarely present in them) and shot during distinct periods of time, and a more ranging, long-term examination of the United States accomplished largely by photographing Americans contextualized by their environments

that guy looks like one of the custodians form Reedley Highschool, the guy that he looks like his name is keith. i think they reaaly look alike.

that photo of the guy and the landskape look good together. I wish i was thare right now. You are lucky and i bet you had fun.

I love the composition, beauty of the Mississippi River, and the chance of happiness in the man's eyes. I am so thankful that we can capture images and memories through photography and the love of art.

i really like the picture because it is of the Mississippi river the most beautiful river in the United States. the man in the picture does not look very happy. I feel that the picture could have been better

I think this picture of that man looks like a real picture. I wonder how hard it would be to be looking at some dead guy consistently. Well painting him... :(

i love art and i think its a beautiful thing and i really enjoy the way the picture is painted and how he looks real and he looks alive

That is a very casual painting because he is wearing casual clothes. I personally love the background of the river. There are a lot of really good artists now but I think this is one of the prettiest, most casual, and most awesome painting. My sister is a very good drawer but I don't think she has really ever tried painting. I know i am definitely not a good drawer or painter.

this portrait looks really real..... i mean look at it its awsome how its really realistic! who ever painted this is a very good painter!!!!!!!!!

I like this picture because since it is by the river giving it a natural feel, and the person is wearing a reagular shirt making it look natural as well. All together it looks amazing! So I think this is the perfect shot!

I agree with you Allison, also the guy is smiling witch makes it look like he is enjoying the time. The lake in the backround is so beautiful! I never been to that state but i want to see that lake it person! This is a perfect shot! ; )
