Sarah Stolfa: The Regulars

There's nothing at all complicated about these, but when I picked up the book I just couldn't put it down. Just once I'd like to have a good idea and see it through like this.

I hadn't heard of him until recently but I think we both are both prolly drawing from the same source, and by the same source I mean Gregory Crewdson. (Can't help posting this, dude is my all time favorite photographer).

I'm glad you mentioned him because this guy fascinates me. I watched a special on him and some other photographers, on National Geographic I think, and his process is wild. Weeks of meticulous planning and scouting, every detail considered; a crew closer to that of a feature film than a photograph. The guy's so loving meta he doesn't even pick up a camera anymore, he can't be bothered with that; his job is to imagine what the image should look like, and make it happen.

You mentioned his one-and-only commercial photo for Six Feet Under, so I've got to ask: where's the money come from? I mean he's got some serious poo poo going on when he puts a photo together; he's got a crew that looks to be around 20 strong, he's closing down streets, etc. Do his prints sell for millions or something?

But the fox is going to get away! I've seen this before, can't believe I just noticed that.

Andrew Zimmerman, king of bird photographers. The close-up portraits I can fathom, but the in-flight photos, jesus christ.

Some dude buys a box of negatives for $400, starts scanning them, and discovers some unbelievable, completely unseen street photography.

He finds out they're all by a woman named Vivian Maier. He googled, and all he found was an obituary from a few days back.

I just can't get over how amazing this is, I don't even know what to say about it. The volume, and the quality, and the fact that these probably came within an inch of ending up in a dumpster...I'd call it unbelievable, except for the fact that it actually happened.

My wife and I are considering a trip to Iceland. Photos like those are making the decision a lot less difficult.

Like, the lines between fantasy and reality are totally blurred, man. How do you know that what I see as green isn't what you see as red? THINK ABOUT IT.
