Thanks for the kind words, and stopping in to read. To answer your question:

I often come across work through some outside source, be it a magazine or simply links on another photographers website to friends or personal inspirations. Generally, though, I don’t have enough time in my day to make so many consecutive (related) posts as I did with the artists you’ve mentioned and the websites just get tossed into my “archive” of “un-discussed” photographers. Citing the original source usually becomes unnecessary when the artists are posted about months apart from one another – not to mention the fact that at that point, I usually can’t even remember where I first found their website.

In this case, however, I probably should have said something about American Photo or, even, combined them into one post that cited the magazine. And maybe even discussed everyone in the feature? The reason I didn’t is that I’ve already posted about Nicolai Howalt and Trine Sondergaard, I didn’t like the work by Matt Eich, Jehad Nga, Lyric Cabral, Michael Christopher Brown, or Camille Seaman as much as the work that I mentioned (and I love Shen and Amy’s work but I didn’t mention them because they’re photo-friends of mine who are already discussed regularly on the blogosphere).

Anyway, I suppose that’s a mistake on my part but I’m glad you picked up on it. I’ll admit, I often think of myself when I’m writing this blog (after all it is a “journal” – I never expected so many readers) and such a thing should be considered.

The only photographer I hadn’t previously heard of (and liked) was Alexandra Catiere. I absolutely love Alexandra’s work. Her Behind the Glass images make me think of both Harry Callahan’s Heads and, as mentioned, Andrew Miksys’ Buses. Beautiful.

Again, thanks for taking the time to comment.

Love your blog, but I have a question about blog etiquette. Obviously, the last four photographers you’ve featured- Alexandra Catiere, Carlos and Jason Sanchez, Michael Subotzky, Donald Weber–have something in common; they were featured in American Photo. Curious about the decision to not reference that or cite where you first read information on these photographers?

Best,
Doug
