Venice, Italy

Last night I went into an old folder of negs to rescan some photos I only had lo-res or bad scans of. I found a few images I never scanned, like the one above. It's a better take than the original frame I had printed & scanned.

One of my favorite current photographers, Danny Wilcox-Frazier currently has his "Driftless" work on the NY Times Photoblog! I'm proud to say that Mother Jones was the first mag in the US to publish that body of work. It was also the first photo essay I brought to the magazine.
He also did a great multimedia piece on MediaStorm, about Driftless.
Way to go Danny!

NOTES:
•You've probably seen it, but the New York Times launched a photoblog this week. Nice presentation and some great work. I'm anxious to keep an eye on this as I'm sure it'll be a pace-setting destination for photography.
•Robert Franks' Looking In: The Americans opened at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art this past Saturday. The exhibit takes an in-depth look at Franks' monumental photo book, showing work he'd done leading up to the Americans, the letters he and Walker Evans exchanged as he shot the project, contact sheets, work prints, big, beautiful gallery prints, different editions of the book. The works. As great as the exhibit is, I had slightly high expectations. I was hoping for enlarged contacts, more work that was inspired by Frank. Still, not at all disappointing. I'll probably make at least two or three return trips.
•Also opening this Saturday, the San Francisco Art Exchange is hosting a new exhibit of Rolling Stones photos. This one is titled, Rolling Stones: The Decca Years. It collects the work of 14 different photographers who shot the Stones from 1962 - 1971. Pretty awesome stuff, though not quite as good as the exhibits they've had with the individual photographers (Gered Mankowitz, Ethan Russel, Dominique Tarle).
•It's worth mentioning here that I did a book! It's a Blurb job, but still. Lots of my rock 'n' roll photos, live photos of bands as well as photos of tours I've been on. Live/Loud.

Guess I should mention that I have five photos in the Trace Elements exhibit, now up at the San Francisco Arts Commission gallery, right at Van Ness & McAlister in downtown San Francisco.
My photos are part of the Hamburger Eyes section of the show, which focuses on SF photos by SF-area photographers. Ray asked for something mysterious or creepy. I chose five photos from my "Standing In the Shadows" series. Like this one:
I like the photos a lot, but to be honest, I think they're too subtle for that exhibit. They get lost in the jumble of other, larger, more dramatic images. Oh well. It's good to get them seen I guess.
