A Mother's Response

I just finished reading a fantastic post on Ian Aleksander Adams' blog about his mother's response to his project Gray Days. Ian consistently has engaging content on his blog, but this particular post opens the door for so much interesting discussion about photography and art as it relates to the resulting intentions and reception. Also, the relationships that affected or influenced by or because of the art, not to mention the relationships inspiring the work in the first place. It is an excellent read and I highly recommend it. I also invite discussion based around this post. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Dreamboats Collective

I had an email the other day from Daniel Shea announcing the launch of a new agency called Dreamboats Collective. Here is an intro from his newsletter about the project:

"Dreamboats Collective is a new photography agency, founded and run by its members, featuring the work of Adam Golfer, Joe Leavenworth, TJ Proechel, and Daniel Shea. We intend to add to the growing disambiguation between working personally and working editorially. As a collective, we are focused on creating a self-sustaining network of distribution and support for the creation of new photographic works."

Their concept here is an important one to me as I have personally struggled a bit in keeping up with my art while working to survive. It is always refreshing, and inspiring, when a new effort like this comes onto the scene.

In addition to encouraging the continued "creation of new photographic works," these guys will be offering limited edition prints at an affordable price. The launch is accompanied by an exhibit that opens tonight in New York. There are some damn fine photographs so far. Have a look!

Nicholas Haggard

Just found the work of Nicholas Haggard. His work seems to come from within personal relationships. At least that's what I take from it based on the characters portrayed throughout. Anyway, there are fantastic images in his portfolio. Have a look.

Adam Jeppesen

Every so often I see a photographer's that really holds my attention. I mean, really holds my attention. I have been looking at the work of Adam Jeppesen. There is something intriguing and utterly beautiful about his work. I can't get enough.

Ian Aleksander Adams recently sent me an invitation to check out his new website. He has some nice work. I like his portraiture and the series Gray Days. I am also very fond of his Roshini piece. It is 7,985 sequential images put together in beautiful way. Check it out. Ian is also one of the artists contributing to The Ones We Love. Look at his six there.
