Yesterday I briefly mentioned the launch of the web project Words Without Pictures. Now that it’s actually online I thought I’d mention it again.

The project is created by the Photography Department at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art as a way to “expand dialogue about photography.” At first glance, it looks like a reincarnation of Charlotte Cotton’s - the current director of the Photography Department at LACMA - former (now dead) project, Tip of the Tongue. Take a look at the contributors list here to see who else is involved.

I’m curious to hear what readers think of the current essay, Qualifying Photography as Art, or, Is Photography All It Can Be? by Christopher Bedford (available also as a PDF).

Feel free to comment here about it, but keep in mind that the articles are also open to discussion right on the website.
