Hello to all out there in to the Mandel Baseball cards. I am still looking for cards to fill the set I am working on. Also looking for complete unopened packages w/gum, the box that came with the packages, uncut sheets of cards as well as signed cards. Something a bit different that I am looking for is why you might have started collecting the cards. Will trade or purchase. Contact info; marsol_@yahoo.com

Stephen’s photos of his father are honest, sensitive and deeply moving. I feel how he treasured him.I can feel the love and pain for his father. His book is simply gorgeous.

I enjoy the photographs. I like how the photographer uses different objects to create a scene and I like the colors that are used.

Comment on Spencer Tunick: Installations by Gilead

This comment is a response to Michele. I would like to un-ruin your enjoyment of Spencer’s prints. I have worked with Spencer on numerous occasions, and I can assure you that he has never photoshopped any of his images. He shoots on film with a Mamiya 67, and prints directly from film.

The setup in Amsterdam used a small bridge which was set up in such a way, that once the people were on it, it was completely obscured. A video clip of how this was made to work can be found here:
http://vimeo.com/8580334
and the segment relating to the bridge begins at around 4:14. I was present at this installation, and watched it take place.

The print from New Mexico has some of the participants in water, which is the reason the hue in the centre of the picture is darker. I was not at this installation, but I have seen the full size print – it is quite stunning.

So just to assure you – everything you see in the pictures is as it happened, no photoshop.

I saw Elad’s work at MOMA and somewhere in Chelsea last winter. I found the work to be mildly more interesting than Roe Etheridge. Yet this ad hoc school of photograph doesn’t live up to Wolfgang Tillman’s work which operates on multiple levels as least (I’m not a huge fan of his work but get it and you know, like it). I feel like there’s some weird milieu think that allows this work to proliferate. Perhaps it mirrors the randomness of photography within lifestyle magazines and web sites, ADHD images for that yuppified qua indie qua arty sort of world. Whatever it is it ain’t good and I’m surprised that you think we’ll keep looking further. Perhaps it’s political to “like” this (a facebook term that perfectly expresses the degraded sense of judgement today).

I bet you’ll find a lot more to see in Dean’s Floh, which is an intelligence organizing true randomness, than this sort of low brow “whatever” that passes for photography today. Or perhaps seek something that has better photographic qualities than vague conceptual whatsis.
