J. Bennett Fitt's pool series caught my attention first. He took some photographs of motel pools. I really enjoy the abandoned motel pools, they have a strong sense of emptiness. Some of the others are actual working motels but he chooses motels with a worn down feeling, motels that people wouldn't normally check into, which still goes along with the empty feeling. I also like his use of color in his photos. They have that washed out color, with a lot of blue tints. I think the coloring adds to the feeling of these photos. His other series include industrial buildings, and golf courses. I don't enjoy these images as much as the pool series. They aren't as interesting and he doesnt do anything special with the coloring to give some interest to them. There isn't actual information on this photographer but there is a list of many accomplishments.
