Unsure of his direction, he enrolled in a photography class and met the legendary photography instructor Henry Holmes Smith. Under his tutelage, Welpott thrived. He became enthralled with black-and-white photography as a fine art form, and never looked back.Driving to Stony Lonesome chronicles his years in Bloomington, Indiana. The 100+ photographs that make up the core of this gorgeous book are intense and personal, and include many fine examples of environmental portraiture of which Welpott was a master.Welpott, now in his middle 80s, provides personal anecdotes along with the photographs. He didnt just take \"art photographs\"-he captured the heart of his subjects. By getting to know the people he photographed and winning their confidence, he gained an understanding of his subjects that would not belie a camera. This strategy served him well, and the photographs in this book richly capture life in rural southern Indiana.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51934814175520,"sku":"NEW0253218667","price":79.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/driving-to-stony-lonesome-jack-welpotts-indiana-photographs-1936-1959-quarry-books-0253218667","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
