also putting this quote here in case it ever disappears from the internet

My eyes search for people who are grateful for life, people who forgive and whose doubts have been removed, who understand the truth, whose enduring spirit is bathed by such piercing white light as to provide their present and future with hope.
— Louis Faurer, October 2, 1979

also, a transcript of a winogrand Q&A at MIT

this guy is cracking me up

(skip to 1:40 in the first vid)

I noticed that there's a reissue of his photographs out lately.

that Mark Cohen video reminds me of Bruce Gilden (who appears to be more of a dick, though):

Hiroshi Sugimoto has a section in the third season of Art21, episode "Memory," if you've got Netflix streaming.

I like this dude's philosophy

real dope

Those are great!

the whole series is great but this one in particular made me laff

finally making my way through jason eskenazi's book and it's pretty staggering

dude is all time

Wow that guy has one unnavigable website. Seems the easiest way to see a bunch of his pictures is to see the Times profle/gallery: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/07/showcase-15/

Oh wait, looking at his website though, he does have a thing "Double Zero" which is cool. First photo on the roll. It's better than my idea of compiling my "garbage shots" of windows, feet, and desks. The ones when you've just loaded the film. And his treatment is, uh, "Wagnerian."

not famous but

the colors here are just gorgeous. they don't make film like this anymore do they

I mean, that's kodachrome right?

There's a bit of a redcast to it (blues are a little purplish), so I would assume so.

some samples at the bottom

kind of boring but you can see some great shots interspersed with the video starting around the 9:00 mark

powerful stuff, #6 just kills me.

lotta kinda-ilxy would-style in the chicago photos from last week:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/vouchey/5407925206/in/set-72157625828492479

my favorite part about that set is all the people in the comments who are like "I grew up there! I know that guy!"

http://www.diegolevy.com/index.php?/project/sangre/

i don't know whether my response to this guy is just conditioned by having found him while looking at examples of the website he uses, rather than expecting his photos, but man they're really powerful, & so well framed. the set directly linked is fairly brutal throughout (i haven't seen the others), so, warning if anyone is of a sensitive disposition re: crime scene photos etc.

so surreal

those kodachrome blacks - look at how disembodied the hand is

Those are all available on the Library of Congress website in v. v. large TIFFs. Not the sharpest scans and often dirty, but you can make v. good 8x10s and pretty good 16x20s out of them.

those are great

wow eskenazi is tremendous

yeah probably favorite book I bought this year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCmvIMdpoW4

aside from the lol ghost world sadsack production, a good look at his working process!

guys what are good photo blogs

haven't looked at this for a while (i think the only actual blog i follow is photo booth at the ny-er, which can be great), but mexican pictures contains multitudes.

btw, not exactly relevant but kinda; i watched visions of light, the documentary about cinematographers last night, & thought it would totally be relevant to some of you-all's interests. it's about light. & framing. pros talking about their job. calling martin scorsese marty, etc. i recommend it.

I'm going to recommend the blog of a fellow ilxor, I recommend you follow from the dashboard as the default layout makes the pics small. but great stuff: kentpics.tumblr.com

this ilxor tipped me off to another tumblr who reblogs a gajillion other photoblogs but I think he's good gatekeepr: bremser.tumblr.com

other than that I look at the NYT Lens blog and not much else

I like this guy too but he doesn't update too often

http://thegreatbookshavebeenwritten.com/

(back to the OP for a second): think we should all appreciate this dude and his answers in this interview

not gonna lie I have come close to buying a 90mm on numerous occasions because of that interview

I think this site is great: http://www.americansuburbx.com/
Not a blog, but a good source of photographs and articles, some interviews, etc. Lotsa photographers

xp: rad b&w by leiter
http://fmrid.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/leiter2.jpg

wanna see the book

(back to the OP for a second): think we should all appreciate this dude and his answers in this interview

that is a delightful interview

theonlinephotographer.com can be good - it jumps around from covering new cameras to books to just highlighting good work
visualsciencelab.blogspot.com - blog for an Austin guy who's been a commercial shooter for two or three decades, but it tends to focus more on his personal work

I've been looking for more blogs about shooting vs. tumblrs aggregating good photos but they're hard to find

ILP actually has some of the best online photo dialogue I've seen. No inane Canon v. Nikon debates, no naked ladies or gaudy HDR stuff.

I've been looking for more blogs about shooting

yeah that's what i'm really looking for. and i'd agree that ILP has some of the best dialogue, it's just that sometimes it gets p slow around here and i am forced to turn elsewhere

david allen harvey's burn mag has good stuff too, a lot of it is too 'intense' for me tho

also if you're looking for more substantive stuff than blogs there are some people I think are worth reading. it's really really really hard to write intelligently about photography and there are only a few people who I think do it well, with that caveat:

john szarkowski, pretty much singlehandedly shaped the stream of american photography in the last 50 years - anything he writes is gold.
susan sontag - on photography (think that's the name) - I know, a bit wankerish, but there are 5 hard-fought insights on every single page, really
robert adams - eng. ph.d turned photographer, not sure if he writes much stuff outside of his monographs to his books but again, really excellent
gerry badger - really only has one 'trick' when discussing photographs but his stuff is reasonably interesting

I've been meaning to read camera lucida for ages, think I'm gonna do it this year (finally)

rf otm
still kinda unfair, feel there's warmth, pathos in some of c-b's work, but mostly-- yeah

was being sarcastic about c-b

Ah, I wondered about that. But I do think it's better (or, at least, I like that one photo much more than the AW ones you posted). Not that I am a huge fan of the style, either.

that's a really cool site cv

there's a strain of thought that identifies the primary mode of photography as melancholy

i was thinking that for me, photography is the sentimentalist's sport

and you understand then why frank was angry at cartier bresson for not feeling a goddamned thing

melancholy
sentimentalist's sport

yes, for me too

little bbc documentary about a new zealand photographer in the eggleston/shore mode

http://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-33674326

recently published in a book marred with an incongruously 'quirky' cover design - i dismissed it at first

ha those are great (martin-parr-esque)
actually tbh cruise ship photographer sounds like best worst job ever

i work with a guy who was a cruise ship videographer a few years back and he def has some best/worst stories

ha i can imagine (wd love to hear some but realize they may not be yours to tell)

these are great: http://www.janetdelaney.com/south-of-market/

these are also great! http://www.zevschmitz.com/islandofmanhattan#0

i like those, (but) they remind me of the work of asako narahashi, from series 'half awake and half asleep in the water'

http://www.designboom.com/tools/WPro/images/11o/an1.jpg

oh, nice. I never saw that before.

those are great

Darcy Padilla took down The Julie Project gallery on her website when her book got published in France, but I found a big part on the World Press site.

this one in particular is something else
