A slant is defined as a specific way of looking at a subject. Each time the photographer raises his camera,
he records his unique interpretation of what he sees.
It is more than just a reflection of the truth. With
each calculated decision, the photographer frames
his vision and captures an image representative of
his own artistic outlook. The beauty lies within
this connection between the photographer and his
subject. Photography, therefore, acts as a mirror of
an individual’s intellectual and aesthetic curiosity.
The Slant aims to acquaint the Williams College
and Williamstown communities with the unique
perspectives of its photographers. We wish to
encourage an open discourse regarding not only
the way photographers view their subject, but
also the way the public views photography. With
this in mind, we hope that you, the viewer, will
take a moment to pause and explore the meaning of each photograph featured in this journal.
The Slant and its activities would not be possible
without the generous support of Arts at Williams,
Williams College Council, and Excelsior Printing.
