For Leigh



I was looking through a book and saw something you might be interested in. It relates to some of the different possibilities in approach that Colin mentioned during the first critique. These guys, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, took a roll of photo paper in a lightproof box to Afghanistan posing as war photographers and exposed pieces of the paper during different times during their stay to 'record the conditions' of the particular time.
Here's their website, the particular series is "The Day": http://www.choppedliver.info/

This might even be interesting for you, Christine!

Priya Kambli

Kristen sent me a photographer that I couldn't bare to keep to myself- Priya Kambli
Her work deals with identity, family, self-portrait, and gorgeous, radiant color.





A worthy blog among many.

I saw this blog recently and thought of you. (You meaning you.)
