This is what you see when you die, I think

am I drowning? WAIT did SHE do it??

a few times a year i get lost in the kind of mycological network of flickr & users' flickr favs & the subsequent favs of those faved, & it eventually seems mostly to elicit feelings of inadequacy around equipment or scanning or presentation rather than feelings toward the photography itself - how did this guy get those muted tones - but i like these mariano brizzola phots-

Only putting up 109 photos since Dec 2007 is doing it right imo

i think less is kinda undeniably wiser/safer/&c, here, but i do think there's something about the internet being the venue that changes that calculus at least a little. like it makes sense that a portfolio should be pretty elemental, as succinct as possible, not overlap or duplicate, &c. but when the thing you are looking at is flickr, or if you are one of a million photographers in the world who are putting something online for others to see, part of me thinks that maximalism is interesting too. like i think the conditions of exhibition are conducive to embroiling people in other parts of what you're doing outside of just successful image making. only putting up your best work can't really fail but i'd love to see everything else, too. these pictures are quite egglestony, & as another amateur middleweight eggleston fan-fic author i have to think about what it means to be practicing an art that's already been honed. some of the pathways toward making it interesting involve other stuff, i think.

Very well written but you're still not getting access to my contact sheets

straight up 1000% the aim of my post

ive got about 19-20 months of catching up to do on my flickr

not gonna lie the main reason i use it is for the screensaver on my appleTV

any thoughts on this essay?

http://gawker.com/the-problem-with-humans-of-new-york-1617812880

imo its bullshit

http://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/fukushima-three-years-later

the kind of sober-landscape-dispatch isn't really my favourite school of photography right now but i found this v moving

nb @ gr8080, i feel like the gawker piece is basically mad that philip seymour hoffman did not fully realise the dream of synecdoche new york in its infinite complexity

Obviously, the site isn't journalism—it's documenting nothing more than Stanton's own viewpoint and, now, how much he evidently enjoys being a known quantity. And art thrives on the unexpected, so it's not that.

Frank: I feel a good approach for a photographer is to start by closing his eyes and listening to the voice of his heart. The obsession and intuition that he has never taken notice of lead him to photograph in the right way. And, then the photographer edits the photographs while personally critiquing them. Such an editing process should be the best teacher for that person. I am opposed to taking photographs with the forced intent of a pre-determined concept. With intelligence and knowledge, a photographer can easily take photographs that can be sold at high prices. But, I don’t want people to take photographs of that nature. First of all, one continuously takes a series of photographs. In the subsequent editing process, the concept will emerge. This is also the method I used to create “the Americans.”

i love reading this in context & imagining that you can just talk about how you feel for a while, toss some ideas around, spitball, throw in your two cents but then pause for a second & say "Also this is how I created The Americans".

Those pics are amazing xp

mm-hmm, & kinda super cohesive, too, considering she's sort of looking past everything, just reducing it to shapes in boxes. there are like ten million in the series.

i think i re-posted jamie livingston polaroids itt before, i always go back to them, there are so many, & the arrangement is most conducive to just jumping in out of sequence. i was looking at them again a day or two ago & found them so moving, just the feeling of life, he is out in the world, he is in love,

i mean in a good way

I love malls

My secret kodachrome project was about malls :(

#mallwave vs #barncore

i think i missed some of the backstory re: whether you had or hadn't shot that kodachrome yet but sorry if this past-tense means you have unprocessed kodachrome

i could post almost any image from shen li's tumblr btw

I did shoot the kodachrome and I did process it! I just don't like the results
