Anyone concerned with feigning expressionless self-absorbed color shits on gallery walls?
Anyone tires of stephen shore copycats expressing their own meaninglessness and vacancy?
Anyone tired of digital 'photography,' if we can call it that?
Anyone interested in the return to the image?
Anyone making great work out there that is tired of heartless thinking art?
Anyone out there who has not tired of photography so far as to make it something else?
Anyone out there who still believes in the camera?
I, along with my younger brother Jared, whom I have worked with for years, are finally trying to say something about it. To give something back instead of complain and drone about what is so essentially wrong about 'workflows' and 'capturing' and the taking the photographer out of the process and making him a tool of the camera.
And most of all the heart that seems to have become lost in photography today. Altogether too much thinking is engaging the work of today. Too much shock and repetition and shit passing for what? For Art? For Photography?
No, there are no standards anymore, accessibility has given the hands of photography into too many unskilled and unfeeling people today.
We most welcome those that agree and disagree, as I believe a healthy debate can not take place amongst those that agree.
Well said.
