Southern Stranded Roadtrip

Posted on 20:31 by election
Purvis, Route 55, Mississippi © Amy SteinFriday morning I am flying to New Orleans to begin the final leg of my Stranded project.

My Big List of Lists 2008

Posted on 11:20 by election
Cats of the year by a landslide, Gilbert and FattyLast year I posted my 2007 Big List of Lists several weeks into 2008. At that point the year-end drama was pretty much gone, but it was still a worthwhile exercise to stop and smell the roses on a terrific year of arts and culture as well as set my goals for the year ahead. Now, when I look back at my Top 3 Career Goals for 2008 I am overcome...

Number Two! Number Two!

Posted on 16:38 by election
After a three week stint as the best seller on the photo-eye bookstore list, my book has stumbled all the way to number two. So, which photography heavyweight ended the Domesticated dynasty? Eggleston? Parr? Strauss? Nope. I was knocked down a peg by Jessica Lange. Hey, I loved her in King Kong, but come on... Hmmm, I just took a peek at her work and it's not bad. Kinda okay in fact....

A Few Questions for Graham Miller

Posted on 20:38 by election
Rhonda + Chantelle © Graham MillerLast May I was in Berlin and my visit happened to coincide with an exhibition of photographs from Hijacked Volume One, Australia and America. It was there that I first discovered the beautifully poetic photographs of Graham Miller. Each image seemed to preserve a quiet moment of personal reflection that suggested an anguished past and pointed to an uncertain...
