Having gone through this decision in 2012 I completely understand the thinking here at Remi Thornton’s blog regarding Getty now giving away images and setting up consignment deals. Getty has never ever had their photographers in mind in their long-term plans. Its all about the stock sales. They don’t respect photographers and they don’t really care about someones livelihood or families. Getty is at the top of blame list for gutting our industry and forcing a downward price spiral that is truly mind boggling and unprecedented in modern business. ( Unless of course you count the Banking Industry bringing us to a world economy collapse – but I digress…)
Using “mapped” movements of a human dancer they create something both unique and unnerving… My problem here is without this wonderful dancer Laura Keil I highly doubt if this would of been remotely interesting. Still a great work using computers , software and a mysterious dancer shrouded not in clothing but computer bits. This technology is will spread quickly so enjoy it in a very pure form.

Long running and well known photography gallery with artists by the likes of Christopher Bucklow, Chuck Close, Susan Derges, Robert Frank, O Winston Link and more.
Known for his cool, calculated abstractions of apartment building facades titled: Architecture of Density
And the haunting and claustrophobic series of people smashed up against the windows in Tokyo’s sardine packed subways titled: Tokyo Compression
But don’t miss these shots from his Real Fake Art Series documenting the huge industry of art forgers that work there.
