"All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt."
Freeway or NoWay!
“In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.” – Alfred Stieglitz
Today I am on my way, with fellow comrades in tow, to Cincinnati. The Midwest Society of Photographic Education conference will be hosted in Cincinnati this weekend. Learning photography, teaching photography, and viewing the work of our peers - this should be a great weekend.
In other news….
I am working on a new body of work. The short of it - the work deals with the way we communicate mental disorders to one another.
I will be photographing some awesome concerts this month and next. Look for my photographs in a future issue of Alternative Press.
And last but not least…. Indiana… Boring as shit. Sorry but 3 hours of driving in the flatlands makes me bitter. Perhaps I need more coffee…
Cheers from the Midwest.
