Duane Michals is a American photographer who was born in February 1932. He is largely self- taught himself. He often incorporates text into his work to examine emotion and philosophy.

The images which i have chosen of Duane Michals, i personally think are really interesting. The first image is a young boy who looks like he is visiting his grandfather, and his grandfather isn't moving. In the first image of the sequence the old man is lying still and the little boy is watching over him, in the second image the old man has sat up and starting to get out of bed and also the old man has wings on his back, this is trying to pursue the old man has turned into an angel. In the next image of the sequence is of the old man waving to the little boy and then he is climbing out of the window. The final image of the sequence is the little boy looking out of the window and the old man is not in the scene. This is trying to pursue the old man has died and gone to heaven as an angel.

The second image that i have chosen is a six sequence image. The story behind this image is a little girl is sitting next to a window and a coat stand whilst she is sitting on a rocking chair. Throughout the sequences the coat stand changes into an actual person but it still looks like a coat stand. I really like this sequence because i like the way each part changes.
