The images of Diane Arbus are forever burned into my brain. Her Aperture Monograph was a gift in 1972, and as she had taken her own life a year before, the photographs of those on the fringes, were forever perceived as a deeper insight into this artist’s mind. How did that complex photographic journey begin […]

Just came back from an amazing evening at Aperture. Taryn Simon was in conversation with Kate Fowle about her overall process, current exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery, and her continuing work.

There is an iconography of Robert Frank’s work, that is undeniable. His book, The Americans, was shot in the 1950’s by way of a Guggenheim grant, and showed us a side of America that existed, but was not the mainstream imagery. The book changed the look of photography, forever.

The sturm and drang of young brooding photographer can cause one to go dark. Not the dark of violence, but exploring the inner reaches of the psyche. The deep reaches. Or so I thought. When I was looking at universities to study film photography and fine art, I knew it was all about the instructors, […]

As photographers, your visual acuity should be always challenged and inspired.
