Photographs by EC (Ted) Adams

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If that is true, then today's Warped site speaks volumes. Be prepared to see the most eclectic collection of photographs anywhere on the Internet. There is nothing wrong with them, just the variety of subject matter is what makes it so unusual.

The site is Photographs by EC (Ted) Adams. There is not a lot of biographical information about him, but his pictures tell the story. The site consists of photographs from Philadelphia and Lancaster, PA, and New York City. Most of the pictures are in black and white, giving them a very artistic look.

But beyond the photos, is what Ted does with the site. For example, there is a section called Abandoned Photo Museum. The photos in that gallery were all found on the sidewalk, mostly in Philadelphia, either as entire discarded "collections" that people had put out on garbage day, or as individual pictures that had perhaps fallen out of their owners' pockets - or that the garbage collectors had left behind. It is interesting to look at.

There is also a section called Sidewalk Droppings (somewhat self-explanatory), as well as the Philadelphia Mummers Project (not self-explanatory). The section on the Philadelphia Inquirer photographers is great to look at, as it gives a glimpse at the artistic side of the paper's photographers.

Ted's site is a wonderful one to look at and explore. It really shows off the visual art of photography, and how many different ways pictures can be looked at. The Warp-o-Meter gives the site a solid 7 for that artistic warped touch.
