My intuition is that every time she bought new clothes she wanted to show them off
She would get dressed in her new threads
And choose the best background in her house
Which happened to be her TV, a symbol of wealth

they're really nice. i bristle when i see too kinda ... kitschy an old telephone, or any sort of chrome-fendered american vehicle hood, but at the same time it reminds me of how much of a template eggleston is for just most everything now, my pictures way more than hers really. they're great though.

!!! i lost my shit seeing there is izumi merch - i didn't have a lot of time & my computer was wilting but the broccoli design was tentatively my pick - & couldn't totally figure out what the deal was; that maybe she has a new site that isn't quite up yet? there was a picture of a covered book, too, that made me wonder if she'd made something. her work is just the freshest thing. i really really want a print of the picture of her waking-&-dramatically-stretching in a messy bed, it's so inspirational to me

i think she maybe has a new website online soon, & also did make a book, & sells it at fairs in japan. psyched that there is izumi-mania on ilp, we should group-order her everything once it's available to save on north american shipping (i haven't thought this through)

Two great sites dedicated to two great photographers I love, William Gedney and Luigi Ghirri (one by Duke University and the other by Biblioteca Panizzi):
http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/gedney/
http://digilib.netribe.it/bdr01/Sezione.jsp?idSezione=77
"Great sites" maybe should be qualified because each is, in different ways & for different reasons, a pain/ annoying to navigate. (Well, the latter's in Italian.) On the other hand, they make available SO FREAKING MUCH-- almost "everything"-- of the work, viewable/ downloadable at such generous large sizes. Really worth diving in and exploring.
There's a real generosity to sites like this. Their examples bring up questions about the way photographers (or their "estate") may bequeath their work to institutions (e.g. universities/ libraries), to be archived and made available to the public/ future researchers. Analogous to writers (or their estate) who leave their papers/ manuscripts to such institutions. Which also involves questions re the analogue/ digital divide, treatment of negatives/ paper manuscripts vs. digital files. It's harder for an analogue photographer to "edit" his posthumous legacy-- as a film person myself, who keeps each and every negative of each and every roll, I sometimes think it's like a record of a writer's every scrap of paper, silly/ ridiculous scribble, including things that aren't even "drafts" so much as "doodles" or even "coughs." Cf. question of private letters, diaries, etc. And then there are curious cases like Vivian Mayer, a legacy not in the hands of an estate or public institution but distinct private individuals/ collectors.

hey, drash: i really dug this, am just starting to take a look; gedney & ghirri are both a treat, & totally enveloped in their own time periods, & it's really nice to have access to where they they were at, like seeing vivian maier's stuff with the geography of her streetwalking in mind. i kind of think of the gold standard of this type of thing as being the met's walker evans holdings, where you can click through just roll after roll, his visits to robert & mary frank's place (& frank loved evans' picture of his mabou stove), a total enlightening generosity. there's totally something in the posterity of archives, the overwhelming presence of context almost overshadowing single images, that i respond to; it actually feels less pronounced with these guys, because they were so good that you aren't seeing five shaky frames for every good one. but texturally seeing a roll feels like life to me.

these gedney photos almost make me cry
Me too, they're so beautiful. Dipping into his diaries/ notebooks is moving too. (Normally as a superprivate person I have mixed feelings about that kind of thing, but he left-- entrusted-- all this stuff to Friedlander who left it to Duke, so in that sense all that's available to us was granted by Gedney.)
Gedney has one of the most exhaustive online archives of any photographer, but it's tragic he wasn't able to publish any books-- he lacks, deserves them. Browsing the work online, it's so (painfully) clear he had material for a number of (would-have-been) classic books.
Wrote a long post of jumbled half thoughts on Gedney & photography presentation but it vanished (just as well, it was a mess), too lazy to redraft it now. Might try again later. But want to say by the way: greetings from a longtime lurker, love the conversation here, ILP is probably my fave ILX board.
Love the Evans photos!, thanks for the link.
― drash, Thursday, 20 February 2014 10:36 (ten years ago) link
drash do you have any of your negatives scanned??
― 龜, Thursday, 20 February 2014 10:55 (ten years ago) link
Sure do-- each and every one. (Not all well scanned, of course, but every frame/ roll is at least lo-res scanned and catalogued in Aperture, I guess equivalent to contact sheets. Then a select few get the special scanning treatment.)
I'm shy about sharing online, but I'm sure I'll join in with y'all at some point. Actually, I think I finally decided to register as an ILXor (after years of on-and-off lurking) because I had a yen to photo breeze.

Love Sarah Moon's colors, and gorgeous grain & blur.
My fave fashion photographer is probably Guy Bourdin. There's a selection of his work at this site:
http://www.guybourdin.net/contents.html
I like the "Shoes" section especially.
By the way, this one I hadn't seen before-- http://www.guybourdin.net/beauty_pages/hose.html-- is so very Mark Cohen.

PS I've always eschewed the use of flash in my own photography.
But Bourdin & Cohen make me want to experiment with it.
