Part 5: Bernd and Hilla Becher, Typologies
Returning to the idea of taking the photos that you want take, we come to the typologies of Bernd and Hilla Becher. A typology is a collection of photos of many examples of the same thing, but rather than presenting the subject artistically, the idea here is to present it in a clinical, matter of fact way. Since I'm a geeky scientist, typologies feed into my need to organize, catalog, and stratify things.

The Becher's typology of water towers is a good place to start if your new to this kind of photography, but I'm sure everyone has at one time or another seen one before. This blog has a good range of typologies from a number of different photographers, and as a bonus check out Things Organized Neatly for something along the same lines.
