Sarah Charlesworth: Doubleworld @ New Museum

July 2, 2015 — Leave a comment

The late and great Sarah Charlesworth has been mentioned in this blog recently. Regrettably I just realized she passed away suddenly on June 25th.  The New York Times has a nice piece remembering her here that is well worth the read.

She is especially worth noting again regarding her major retrospective at the New Museum in New York. Not to be missed and a glorious final tribute to a remarkable photographic artist.

Review of the Exhibition by Roberta Smith here.

One Photograph: Unintelligent Land Development

April 6, 2015 — Leave a comment

Entering its 3rd year of drought California is in a water crisis of unimaginable magnitude should this continue at the current rate. Yet the state continues to develop desert lands. There have been volumes written on this subject yet one photograph can say everything we need to know in mere seconds. Damon Winter nails it with a photograph that screams out why?

This is the power of documentary photography and a new series I will add to this blog.

All you need to know about every different photographic process before digital can now be found in this labor of love titled, The Atlas of Analytical Signatures of Photographic Processes. There is a reason they call it an Atlas…  Brought to you by the very smart folks at the Getty Conservation Institute.

Exhibition: Messengers and Promises

March 5, 2015 — Leave a comment

March means it’s Month of Photography in Denver and my Animalis Images will be on view at Visions West Gallery along with Nine Francois.

 “Messengers and Promises is inspired by John Berger’s essay Why Look at Animals. In the last few centuries animals have been gradually disappearing from contemporary life. We live without them and mostly apart from nature. Animals first entered the human imagination as sacred, as messengers and promises. There was a spiritual quality to them. Our ancestors fueled their imaginations with animals and animals offered explanations to many things in the world. Today, animals and the natural world have a ghostly presence in most lives around the globe.”
