ARTGASM

1

On one of my favorite websites,toxel.com, I found a Casebere-esque photographer, and while I thought of Casebere right away, Alvaro Sanchez-Montanes really makes these photos his own. I am in awe of the shadows and textures that are in these photographs. The way that the sand takes shape and creates either positive or negative space intrigues me. I haven't felt this way since I talked to all of you about how Irving Penn's food photography wowed me. hahaha.

Here's a peek.. (definitely look at his website though.. and click the image to get into the site) I couldn't get them from his site because he has a slideshow, but I got these off toxel.com.






Haha Mary.. AVS to me is like Crewdson for you :) I am amazed.

...Very Proud...2 things

5

1) I've been proud of the crits I've seen recently on this blog...especially the ones you've given to me. Observant, fearless, kind. Exactly what I'd expect from my best ex-students. Thank you.

2) I'm gonna need assistants on Broadway for various times/places between Friday, Sept. 3 and Monday, Sept. 6. If anyone is interested, could you reply with availability?

(Yes, this means I'll be around!)

Sometimes, I can't see what's on the horizon...
