Dear everyone,

Well, it seems that this photoblog has lost a bit of steam, and I take as much blame as anyone, but I urge you all to go out a take some pictures, darn it. Collectively, I think we showcase a large amount of talent, and it's fun to see what you all are up to. It only takes a second to post, and how many times a day do you all check your email, seriously?

As for me, I am almost finished with a brand new website (with 50% new images), and I will post a note when it's up.

The fun part is, going through the archives and cleaning house a little you find images that you wouldn't necessarily print, but you are still quite fond of. See below:

Hey, Hot Shot! 2008

2008-08-06T21:29:00.004-04:00

Recently, I think...okay actually it was July 9th, Jen Beckman (of Jen Beckman Gallery in NYC) posted the winners of her "Hey, Hot Shot!" competition. You can see it here. I'm curious what you think: Is this the best of contemporary photography, etc? I like Derek Henderson's image enough, although I'm a little bored of the convergance of the "snapshot or massive staged production that looks like a snapshot?" aesthetic myself.
I find Roc Herms Pont's image to be dull, pedestrian, or far too self-referentially clever.

Criticism and teh blogz

2008-05-27T12:43:00.002-04:00

"The internet is a brave new medium and only a fool would cavil and carp at the magnificent opportunities it affords hitherto repressed masses of people. Certain regressive elements might speak of lost aesthetic standards, of the critic's knowledge and authority, and also of the unpleasant tendency of some to abuse and malign others from behind the mask of anonymity. But such is the price of progress, comrades."

Lee Siegel at the Guardian writing about criticism and blogging. I should say writing about actual criticism, not the "u r teh suk" kind that is rampant in message boards, although there's some of that too.
