Fuss began his career as a photographic apprentice at the Ogilvy & Mather Agency in 1980. In 1982 he moved to New York City and took a series of odd jobs, including that of a waiter in an art cafe and for parties at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Fuss began a series of pinhole-camera images in 1984 and began exhibiting his work iat Massimo Audiello’s gallery. Fuss’s works have since been exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world. Adam Fuss is known for photographing unusual subject matter with an emphasis on composition.Fuss became distinguished and popular through his use of both historical and contemporary photographic techniques,capturing a broad range of emotive subject matter. His work has an almost ghostly nostalgic feel to it that manages to capture and hold your attention. Although like Abelardo Morell, Fuss reverts back to the most basic concepts of light and image recording, with pinhole cameras and negative imagery, the ambience of his work i think is important to take note of for my own digital work.

My name is Caitlin Jack and as a part of my University paper on photography I wanted to focus on where a displaced group of people find home, choosing to interpret the brief Turangawaewae with the idea of absence of home instead of how you have home with you. I have a passion for social documentary photography and capturing snapshots and expressions that communicate something about someones way of life. This assignment lead me down many research paths and really opened my eyes to a group of people I knew very little about. I am still undecided how I feel about both the compassionate side and the argument that these people put themselves in there situation. Either way however I have seen a very honest point of view on both sides.
