An Invisible Street Photographer Gets His Close-Up - New York Times
Not only is this a great story, but the photos really are wonderful. And my favorite part, he shot everything with a leica M3, on black and white film (did you realise they still make that stuff). More samples of Gary Stochl’s work is available at The Center for American Places (publisher’s of his book). Mr. Stochl is represented by Shashi Caudill, but I have been unable to find a web site for her.
Six Hundred Signs, Doors, and Stoplights - New York Times
How is this for a resume accomplishment, “I had the largest single show by a photographer ever at the MOMA.” I think they give out a wallet with largest shows by a photographer that says ” Bad Ass Motherfucker.”

Lee Friedlander, in reference to his work, once said, “somebody else could walk two feet away to get those poles and trees and stuff out of the way, I almost walk two feet to get into it, because it is part of the game that I play, it isn’t even conscious.”

William Wegman has accomplished several things that I have always dreamed of doing. First, he has his name in the art history books. This dream seems more vain and less attainable as time goes by, but it is still a dream none the less. Second, he has made a living from his art. There are several ways to argue his accomplishment of this second point, but without becoming mired in the semantics of “art” I believe he has accomplished it better than I ever will.
