ha i know. every arts editor question is topical & terrible. it's kinda hard to label these wasted given how satisfying the answers they elicited were but given how interesting eggleston seems it's a bummer that nothing else could be coaxed from him.
sitting here reading artforum (i want an artforum subscription? does anybody have a photography magazine subscription? i almost didn't realise there were photography magazines until seeing aperture stuff online, recently) & feeling this late-winogrand shot from the new exhibition,

(there is also a short saul leiter portfolio with a couple very nice, sorta atypical ie-non-shallow-focus-colour shots)
ty for the new-religion-spoiling correction, 乒乓; it sounds even tougher pronounced sharkism.

I've never read Artforum but do subscribe to the British Journal of Photography, which I enjoy.

that photo is on the cover of a sorta decent book of essays by todd papageorge. it's not bad. I think it's through aperture too.I have no photography magazine subscription. dunno if I need one with the current combo of reading some pretty good online stuff, and supplementing with a trip to the bookstore every once in awhile. my gf gets artforum though, so that's kinda fun.I considered subscribing to blind spot until I realized that it was only twice a year and easy to pick up on a newsstand. and that I'd want to skip some issues.looks like aperture is probably the same kinda deal, though 4 times a year.

McCullin is on BBC1 right now. Some pretty incredible situations he covered.
― michaellambert, Tuesday, 2 July 2013 22:42 (ten years ago) link
McCullin doc was heavy, how he managed to decompress from those places and return to a more stable environment is beyond me, so many hellish scenarios that were truly heartbreaking.

Very heavy. Glad I watched it though.
― michaellambert, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 19:21 (ten years ago) link
That was really extraordinary. The quality and seriousness of work published in the Sunday Times Magazine in Harold Evans' time was amazing. You do wonder what would've happened if McCullin had gone to the Falklands and the Times had run his brand of work.

thinking a lot lately about the idea of working the same beat as other photographers; finding the soft-focus blog was nice, because i can see the value of some individual japanese photographer's personal collection, collection as a verb, of textures or specific landscapes, why it's worth something to them. but it's weird to spend your time chronicling local colour, knowing that other people did this fifty years ago & that it's maybe terrain people have already cleared. there need to be other angles, too.

posting the same thing again and again is pretty great. I do that some places as well.
those photos above.... I love them! The soft colors are great. It looks really good presenting scanned prints like that. I wish I could send off for optical prints, but realistically it's just too much money compared to scanning.
― chinavision!, Tuesday, 16 July 2013 13:01 (ten years ago) link
^ yeah, for sure. my negatives are just a disaster but in my head, & so feasibly one bright & well-intentioned day soon, i'll have a system where i set aside things that i specifically want to print, just stray shots i'd like to have hard copies of or see sorta fully realised. feel like these considerations are very relevant to ideas about collecting photos for a book, too. my friend was talking about her experiences in a colour darkroom, recently, it sounded ... enchanting.
also, just for yucks: here is a very hi-res scan of one of robert frank's fifth avenue bus series,

― szarkasm (schlump), Wednesday, 17 July 2013 00:40 (ten years ago) link
all of that, excellent
my sort of white whale or moby dick is that I once checked out a book that had robert franks' fifth avenue bus series, and i remember very disticntly that there was a picture, on the front or the back, that was of robert frank's hand trailing out the window, reminiscent of koudelka. yet i found americansuburbx's posting of the series, and it's no there. i've asked people familiar with the works of robert frank if they remember a shot like that, they don't. i'm not sure where i saw this shot but i can see it so vividly in my head, and i am so sure that it came from frank. it is not the shot at the carnival with the sign that says 'the lines of my hand' in french.
i think i just post shots from internet history now:http://internethistory.tumblr.com/image/55611436546

your image rings a bell though. was it in storylines? i have a similar Robert Frank Vision Quest, for a picture of either Mary or June, I think, on a beach, by the sea, in profile, that I saw in a documentary & I think even screengrabbed. it is notable for not being the image that appears in search results for this shot which sorta conforms to its description.
