- Amy Stein presents, Shore Thing: Cars for Photographers — I seem to be finding enough cars in Berkeley for the time being, but it’s comforting to know these services are available. I love the Adam Gopnik quote “Shore was the Atget of the parked car.” Amy, I hope my “out with the old, in with the new” photo above doesn’t hurt your business. Today’s mid-80′s cropped Honda photos may be tomorrow’s classics (via Muse-ings)
- The Henry Wessel exhibit earlier this year at the SF MOMA was brilliant, as is the accompanying book
. You may also remember that Wessel was part of the highly influential New Topographics show in 1975. Thanks to a tip from The Online Photographer, I watched an 8 minute program about Wessel on KQED’s excellent show Spark. Highly recommended!
I regret that I missed the Wessel exhibit at the SF MOMA. I watched the video twice yesterday, and immediately ordered his book. Every photographer owes it to him/herself to watch this short film.
