2009 Cleaning UP

So I have had a little time to do some organizing in the first week of the new year. Today I spent a few hours organizing tearsheets from this past years work. This was a great time to reflect on a full years worth of pictures tightly edited.

back to the roots

started developing negatives in my apartment again...using all the resources I could and found out that bathroom makes for a great place to dry negs.

AT WORK review

So I finally got around to finishing the new Leibovitz book, AT WORK. My thoughts on the writing...

Leibovitz speaks from a voice that unexpected...being a photographer with a house hold name, anticipation of ego bigger than god was on the brain. Her voice is efficient in communicating the true, non-celebrity Leibovitz, Leibovitz as a photographer not as an icon. At work illustrates the development of her young eye to the present trained vision of herself as an artist. Recommended to anyone over 20...great read!
