I recently watched a biography about Henri Cartier-Bresson that I bought from amazon. It wasn’t very well made and kind of boring but I love his work and it was fun to see his images put into the context of his life. Something about his editing process inspired me to go back and look through some of my old contact sheets just to see what was there. I am fascinated by the notion of how ones perspective changes over time and I was curious if there were any visual storylines that existed within my own work that I had overlooked or never even noticed. Digging through a few boxes I immediately found a thread of distant and lonely images that had been untouched, hidden among other past “favorites”. I wonder if these photographs represent my state of mind more now or then?
i like these – kind of like some of your newer landscapes. it is such a curious thing to go back and look at images eons later. seems so foreign…
Oh! Heartbreakingly beautiful work…
I’ve been thinking a lot myself lately about the ephemera and rituals of the postal service as we watch its slow demise… The institutions in every town in America we have taken for granted, the blue boxes, stamps, penmanship… The mailbox photograph seems the perfect visual metaphor.
