let us now catalogue famous people

THERE ARE NO NON-CANONICAL IMAGES FROM THE AMERICANS

haha if you did that you'd just be emulating frank in the later part of his career when he just wrote on negatives via being sad about his daughter's death

ha ha, aww. i think about this waitress in indianapolis every DAY. i was actually just cruising around some of his later stuff, the beirut polaroids & stuff. i wish i could see more of it. (downloaded this, also).

i feel like you have spent more tender hours w/the americans than i have; i don't own it, but it's just weird getting into it when it's been at least reduced to its prominent content in my head. there is enough great grainy black & white 1950s photography, periodically, on lens blog & in books by people you hear about, but either because of what i add to the idea of frank's stuff - like the roaming artistic immigrant to america thing - or because of his eye it's so rewarding getting back to see his work.

yeah maybe it's just because I am so familiar with them but there is definitely something singular about frank's photos - feel like idk I could maybe pick out an unseen frank out of 100s of other 50's b&w shots? dunno man just a feeling

oddly soothing and compelling, kinda like stephen shore breakfast photos w/ a 2012 aesthetic

for sure
it's what makes the idea of seeing his later stuff seem so tantalising? like you hear he's shooting with a lomo or with a polaroid kinda carelessly & you want to see what survives the transition

"oddly soothing" otm. while i don't typically plate a sandwich in the trunk of my car or on top of my toilet, it still feels familiar

ha I don't find those soothing at all, though I really like them as a grating critique on ppl photographing their food.

Not famous, but some cracking shots.

i want to write a journal-length article about the contrast between the balance of her aesthetic, as demonstrated in the photographs, & the web design choices made on her news page

new winogrand book coming out?

this photo is killing me

the dude's a good photgorapher btw check out his filckr

just saw about 100 prints from Winogrand's Women are Beautiful at the Art Institute of Chicago today, amazing stuff.

dope

Not famous either, but I like how this set turned out. It's a subject that's done to death by every Tokyo street photographer, but these are the most interesting renderings I've seen.

michael wolf is pretty famous!

Ah really? *abashed*

yeah, he has a few books out, regularly has exhibitions out, seems to be the de facto guy to go to w/r/t modernity, population density and east asia

very german in his sensibilities

sort of obsessed with this picture atm

Don't know who took these, but I love the look of them. One of my new challenges to myself was to get some dire, grim and wonderfully bleak shots like these.

parks pic is amazing in a lot of ways, 乒乓. it's not "detail"y but it's shadowy.

feeling this bertien van manen shot, maybe just seasonally

http://www.gabrielrolt.com/images/full/39TomskRailwaystation.jpg

yes I love that van manen shot!!

some of these are very HCB like

i think he just drew a horse onto the negative in pic #3

haha just a paper cutout he taped to a stick that he puts in front of the camera

sure! ditto the girl on/off the diving board later in the set.

hadn't grasped the connection between alex- & rebecca norris webb

echoes of the iirc russian guy you're into

don hudsons been on flickr for a minute, cool to see him w/ a book out!

I feel like rebecca and alex should just publish all their stuff under one name, like that new photography collective or w/e xp

it's funny, there's a picture in front of an Air India storefront that's shown up in a couple of Meyerowitz shots too. those guys must have really loved that corner.

haha, nice.

makes me want to do an entire series of architectural interiors flipped upside down

Not famous but a Montreal photographer who I dig

talking barnacles in chronological order: http://barnaclestalking.blogspot.jp/

not famous afaik, but just putting this here because i like his big, clean tumblr layout, and might want to steal it at a later date: http://nathannedorostek.tumblr.com/

haha I should probably clear it up that this is just a rolling thread of cool photo sets by photographers, don't have to be famous or w/e, the thread name is just a tribute to james agee/walker evans

phew i feel much better

i like these; there is probably always a series of romantic local subcultural phots on photo booth but these are really measured & transportive, i think

putting this link here, too much to consume at once
