Ruth Thorne Thomsen

What fascinated me about this photograph is the way the figure is formed by dots. I want to know Thomsen managed this photograph. The dots contrast nicely with all the round rocks the figure is standing on.

Another Thomsen photograph that I wonder how she created. The isolated boat draws me in, as does the figure sitting on top of the column. The black and white makes the image seem almost foggy.

What I like about this photograph is how surprising the image is. A person would not expect a chair to be thrown outdoors.

This is probably my favorite photograph I found by Thomsen. To me, it seems a very relatable photograph; everyone feels completely isolated and alone sometimes. I also like how the figure is reflected on the foggy ground.


Overall, I really enjoyed the black and white images Thomsen produced. Everything I found of hers was extremely created and original; unlike anything I have seen before. I am not sure how she created her photographs, because some of them appear almost fake or digitally created, but  I really like the effect the photographs produce.
