Disposable Words » Blog Archive » “Buy Smokes, Singles.”
Excellent documentary photography, sometimes the subject transcends the photograph. I used to go to Vancouver on the weekends, I went to school in Bellingham. We used to love to walk through Chinatown and also this area, things have sure changed. These photographs make me want to go there again.

The Kolkata Heritage Photo Project

The Kolkata Heritage Photo Project
Calcutta has always fascinated me, I read a history of Calcutta years ago and it has stuck in my mind. I would love to visit there sometime soon. This project is interesting photographically, educationally, and artistically.

The idea of framing, or selecting, is the essential task of making a photograph. These photographs evoke the process, and also, to me, question the whole process of making a photograph. Very evocative.

List Of The Day: Great Olan Mills photos
Photography can communicate in many ways, some intended, and some not. These photographs are oddly depressing and sad.

Square America Snapshots & Vernacular Photography

Square America Snapshots & Vernacular Photography
Think of your photographs in 20 years, or 40 years. Time changes how a photograph is viewed. I wonder if I would have loved these photographs without the passage of time? Many of them I would.

The Online Photographer: Digital and its Discontents

The Online Photographer: Digital and its Discontents

I have assumed that there was not a fundamental difference between film and digital. For me, in my photography, there isn't. but I agree with the distinctions and ideas in this article. The joy and challenge of looking at photographs is that it is a remnant of a real interaction at a specific moment in time, the more this interaction or connection is weakened the less interesting, and the less valuable, the photograph becomes. For me photography is sharing a way of seeing.

This web site is an inspiration, photography as documentation and archiving I do not like the organization, I want to scroll through and see a sequence of photographs, but the photographs that I see are thoughtful and worth exploring.

I find this site worth exploring, an example of photography as a life's work and also as a method of presentation. I would love to have my photography archived and presented with the thought and care that has been put into this archive.

Inspiration and Art, really. When I take photographs many times I am trying to document something that will have value in the future. I actually think that what is mundane today will be fascinating tomorrow.

lens culture photobook review: The Chain
Simple clear respectful photography of a surreal institution. Photography has the power to reveal and hopefully change what it reveals.
