Similarly for Rineke Dijkstra. August sander - 7 (but 10 on the technical) Diane Arbus - 8 Martin Parr - 3 Daido Moriyama - 10 Gregory Crewdson - 0 Hendrik Kerstens - 7 James Nachtwey - 4 Rineke Dijkstra - 7 Wendy Ewald - 10 Weegee - 9 Here’s a shot at it – I think August Sander is much more experiential than informational – the informational aspect comes from his technical control, the experiential aspect from his subjects.

August sander – 7 (but 10 on the technical)

Diane Arbus – 8

Martin Parr – 3

Daido Moriyama – 10

Gregory Crewdson – 0

Hendrik Kerstens – 7

James Nachtwey – 4

Rineke Dijkstra – 7

Wendy Ewald – 10

For how two axis work with politics - going beyond the left-right axis, check this out. Take the test and see how far you can get from George Bush. http://www.politicalcompass.org/ Technical – non-technical

In the end we settled on, "spontaneous vs. deliberate." Are there any artists that might easily fit in the middle of the quadrants formed by these two axes? -Jordan.
