intrigued by the notion of a 'communist aesthetic' - immediately I slot this in with jason eskenazi, vanessa winship (http://www.vanessawinship.com/gallery.php?ProjectID=146)

robert adams rules

yeah I'm gonna go up to yale to look at that exhib

oh hey there's a Robert Adams opening at Matthew Marks in Chelsea this Thursday, for any NYC area people.
I'm gonna try to drop by (if I can work it in before meeting up w folks for DNC viewing night)

gets at my thoughts and worries a bit

yeah, feeling that. again, two questions: why shoot? why exhibit?

I like to analogize to writers - the novel, as it exists now, is similarly a mature artform. what do literary critics think of modern writers who ape chandler, who still strive after the well-crafted, simple and direct and perfectly forged sentence? or poets who still write poetry. maybe just accept that you are producing work only for a small community of individuals with like-leaning hearts and eyes.

this is amazing btw

i'm a sucker for give cameras to kids and see what happens projects.

皮村小小摄影师 the little photographers of pi village

pictures from the photography class at tongxin experimental school in the suburbs of beijing. most of the kids are children of migrant workers, who have a history of having a hard time getting decent or any education for their kids. a sign at the entrance to the school hopefully reads: 流动儿童也是祖国的花儿 / lit: the children of migrant workers are flowers of the motherland, too. i like 刘路明 liu luming's pictures. 涂星星 tu xingxing is my favorite:

those are great, btw, dylannn, & what is not to love about giving cameras to kids. i am trying to get hold of a bunch of pictures when i got a camera when i was six or seven, i am pretty sure my aesthetic has not changed so much.

Not checked this thread in a while.

The light on the girl's face in the first of the Beijing shots dylannn posted is great, just hits in the right place.

Really like the Cushman bridge photo upthread too, will read the articles later.

longish post, some cool pics interspersed & at bottom

I feel like this is what all of those hd camera guys are trying to do, only w/shots of their everyday life rendered in the same palette:

those are pure joy

went up the the robert adams at yale this weekend and it totally ruuuuuuuuuled. dug it so much.
dayo you make it up?

wish I could shell out for the 3 volume anthology.

yeah I went last weekend. enjoyed the 1st flr much more than the 4th. went with friends who weren't too into photography so my time was limited :( wish I could have spent more time in the little book viewing room on the 4th flr

yeah I loved the books! and was glad that they were just all out there for perusing. probably generally leaned towards first floor, BUT I really like the seascapes stuff. the stuff that's all still currently on view at matthew marks, through the beginning of november. I want to pick up the books they've got on sale there still.
