I like the photos included here: http://www.theatlanticcities.com/neighborhoods/2013/12/florida-russia-cheaper/7789/

for some reason they're all high resolution, so if you open the images in a new tab you get them full-sized.

The photographer Alec Soth and the writer Brad Zellar have undertaken a long-term project, born out of simple pleasure, that captures both the humanity and banality of the American continent.

photo above is p bad in a lot of different ways I think, most obviously in just being interchangeable with a post-it note saying [some old american shit &c] without any alteration in its effect

so glad i made photo booth!
& that set is yeah pretty bad, portraiture is bad, pictures of motel signs or whatever are bad, burned out cars. who was the older guy who talked about trying to record what america was like now by taking pictures of stuff that wasn't there thirty years ago; big box storage stores on the outskirts of town, &c. that's plenty banal.

hey btw i liked the look of the magnum guy's pic above - & feel like i would sorta need an exhibition to appreciate that kinda thing?, i think because people get to a certain level of proficiency & then you just wipe out everything you can attribute to just talent or assignment or w/e? - but i couldn't see the michael jordan cologne/dkny ad. ??.

those beckett photos are terrific. did you ever hear the story about jane bown's? she said she'd intended to photograph him, had been trying to, & bumped into him as he was leaving a stage door at the theatre, him only slowing for a moment so she could shoot a couple of frames. & she was talking about why she liked the picture & how, when she was at school, she'd been taught photography during a still life class, a bunch of kids in a classroom & fruit piled on a table, the teacher saying everybody go pickup a melon to photograph & young jane bown tumbling over to pick one up. & she got there & grabbed a melon & turned to go back to her desk & the teacher stopped her & said jane ... make sure you get a good melon. so she picked her melon more closely. & the beckett photo is just ... the ultimate melon.

Ended up looking at a whole bunch of Bown's photos from the jump-off of the Becket article a little above, some brilliant work. Great use of natural light, like the one just there.

also that b+w photo of the guy eating out the upsidedown girl w/ the antlers in the foreground is from this absolutely incredible erotic photography book i have called Rapture: 13 Erotic Fantasies

http://www.amazon.com/Rapture-erotic-fantasies-Ron-Raffaelli/dp/B0006WMWNA

some NSFW shots:

http://arkitipintel.com/2009/05/02/recent-book-finds-2/

its right in that sweet spot of 70's kitch/beauty/sincere/playful

has some really cool pre-photoshop darkroom trickery too-- highly recommended for anyone who's interested in pervy artsy b+w

maybe i'll post some of my own when i get home

part of the thrill of internet k hole is the connoisseurial gaze you can cast picking out its occasional actual stephen shore pics &c though, right

mustread guy (schlump), Wednesday, 8 January 2014 20:03 (ten years ago) link

lol i would probably not agree with that, but that is an interesting take

I have a great story involving mirrors w/ someone who posts here but I'm not gonna tell it ;)

no they're amazing gr8080

mustread guy (schlump), Friday, 10 January 2014 18:58 (ten years ago) link

Mirrors are definitely way cool and stores should just leave them out on the street & so that everybody's photography can be improved

^ so great

i am usually negative & never not conflicted about martin parr but i was just looking through the book of his aperture published, the non-conformists; it looks lovely, & reminded me, without seeming too derivative, of robert frank in wales.
