Duane Michals is an artist who is popularly known for unique way of photography which is combined with different texts. In some way, he is able to integrate both language and literature into his photo to give his piece a more deeper meaning. Personally, I found his sequential photography pieces the most interesting because even though a photo is in a still frame, there was still movement evident. Suprisingly, Duane Michals first aspirations were to become a graphics designer. "However, his studies were not completed and continued with commericial photography. "
