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 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

away from breezing for a second but i liked these ^^^, thank you-
i can kinda feel a peak-oil-moment in some of the like ... coolly-off-hand framing young people photographs, the sorts of detailsy pictures that are in the air at the moment, but they're nice, & look nice together

thinking about: aaron rose-

http://static.businessinsider.com/image/537228a0ecad048a3d120ff4/image.jpg

Ever since, the processing and printing of film has been as important as the shooting for Rose. He shot the Coney Island series with a Leica camera on early color print film, and the whole time, he was exploring the limits of what was possible with the new technology. "In order for me to get the pictures that I wanted, I needed to catch people totally spontaneous, without any kind of idea that a picture was even taken. So I ended up, looking, spotting things, rehearsing how I was going to walk past that, and made my transitions very fast, very smooth. In order to do that, you need very high-speed color film." That meant shooting at 1/1,000th of a second, with film that was calibrated for much slower shutter speeds. Rose pushed the film to its capacity in the processing.

The result can be seen in the grainy, almost pointillistic quality of the photographs, and in their muted colors. "He wanted his own color, his own way of presenting the world," says Sean Corcoran, the museum's curator of prints and photographs. The fast-moving technique allowed Rose to enter into the bubbles of intimacy that couples created around themselves as they passionately kissed on the sand, or into the private abandon of men and women as they surrendered, eyes closed, to the sun. "He was trying to get to the core of who people were on the beach," says Corcoran.

also loved looking through the bruce-davidson-in-colour book at a gallery a couple days back,

thank you for posting, 龜-
they're at such an interesting distance from not-ostensibly-dissimilar contemporaneous series, i think; it's almost like they're the same type of pictures but just with additional attention and feeling. especially the portraiture; i feel like that mode's usually reduced, now, to this kind of glazed gaze meant to connote sincerity or connection, somebody's open expression toward the camera. they seem just fuller. sometimes this slight tillmans colour feel.

Sorry, I’ll desist. I just think, for those not familiar with RK's books, her tumblr may give a better idea of her sensibility than most of the RK images available on the web. Google image search on RK can sometimes seem so “pretty,” and that’s not how I see her, at all (though her work is beautiful). I see her work as phenomenological/ existential, and in the tradition of the haiku.
