this one is from columbia 07 mfa grad Josh Winegar. I really admire everyone at columbia who takes photography to to its limits, especially those who take it to the point where you can't tell it's photography anymore. The really interesting part about Winegar's images is his technical process which in photography, hasn't changed much, until recently... thanks digital.
This one is from Chris Schedel. His series Model Homes/Model Lives takes place in the new sprawling suburbs of the midwest. The places he finds are so banal, so uninspired, they bore me and scare me at the same time. But there's also this slight, observant sarcasm that makes shots like this great.
I've been glued to the tv the past few days watching the coverage of the 35w bridge collapse in Minneapolis. It's weird, I used to draw bridges when I was a kid and have always been fascinated by them, especially the ones that go over the Mississippi and Missouri, they're huge. For this one to go down in 4 seconds, something on a massively catostrophic scale had to of failed. The photos that have been coming out are incredible, here are a few that kind of resonate with me.
this one is from Lily Mayfield. Her series is called Intimate Distance and is mainly self portraits of her and her husband. I like this one too, nice light, glad she chose it for the print exchange!
