James Pomerantz

While browsing through Gabriela Herman's blog, I read a post where she mentioned James Pomerantz's blog. Pomerantz is currently an MFA student at SVA and creates some really fantastic stuff.
This image is from his series agua sagrada. As soon as I went to his website, these images appeared and my jaw literally dropped. The way the light plays in these images is astounding. The shapes and captured moments are so beautiful, even from such a long distance.
This image is from Pomerantz's series The Balance of War: Abkhazia, in which he documents the aftermath of war and the destruction it creates. This idea is something that I find really fascinating, and I really love war and wartime photography, though I know it is NOT for me. This body of work contains some really touching imagery, showing how a nation can literally be torn apart by war.

His website and blog are both really great, and are linked above.
