I had never seen any of Gutman's work before, and to be quite honest I'm not sure if I liked a lot of his work that I viewed on the website. Although, even after looking through a majority of the photographs from all the artists listed on the site, I still found myself coming back to this one image. I think the main thing that really draws me to this image is the sense of displacement that occurs with the main two figures in the foreground to that of the structures and environmental details seen in the background. There is such a contrast between the two, that it causes a complete reconstruction of the feeling of the environment. If you were to remove the two figures, all you're left with is an image we have seen a hundred times before. http://masters-of-photography.com/G/gutmann/gutmann_visitors.html
