these are all so killer. those brodie photos are really something. it is more than them being like modern updates of bruce davidson kinda shit, a few telltale signs of today, they're just really arresting. like they are a compelling argument for documentary/representative photography even if it is a genre that's pretty loaded w/tropes & caveats.

those huang jing phots are really special also; like they're almost calm enough to be just kind of sedate and reassuring but how formal & measured they are makes them more interesting:

also i feel super cold-hearted for being way more into the range of photographic approaches deployed in the meeno piece than i am the supernatural cat life arc but it is a v fine series either way

everyone's cataloging famous people these days

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/21/arts/artsspecial/photographys-stature-rises-at-museums.html

i was thinking this eve nbefore i got to this part:

Museum directors are realizing that photography exhibitions attract crowds, particularly the young audiences they covet, so they are giving more attention and space to the medium than ever before.

like, yeah, right? milions of people with dslrs trying to figure out how best to adhere to imitate the canon :)))

dope but this is also basically what HK looks like at night

I've been really enjoying that Nat Geo Found tumblr, some incredible stuff.

these are pretty great imo:
http://lpvmagazine.com/2013/04/kitai-kazuo-a-photographer-who-chooses-a-side/

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/photobooth/NinaLeen_08.jpg

these nina leen shots are incredible; they sorta veer between evidence & some of stezaker's collage.

i should give it more of a chance but the article linked at the bottom of the kitai kazuo article, about the hermit photographer, is making me want to buy a digital camera & then set fire to the guy's remote country darkroom

that article is ridiculous, and I can't find it now, but I think there was some followup where the guy made the big reveal that it was a fiction, meant to provoke thoughts or something.
I like some of the photos on that site and can't help but check in from time to time, but a lot of the time I think the writing is baaaaaad.

it looks like an interesting site. i think i wish i had more photo sites to visit? maybe just because i can't look at photos of the day on lens anymore, because it is too much.

we definitely need some more thought provoking ideas about how sensitive guys just want to strut around in their longjohns communing with nature though. i feel like this has definitely not been covered enough between walden & that one bon iver album, feels ripe for re-dissection with a sexy new digital camera/google plus angle.

there was that one alec soth book or show... wait a sec..

i would also be into seeing some more photologs. i think they are broadly & ridiculously generalising the most compelling thing happening, photographically, for me. even people like sarah soquel morhaim, who are just posting intermittently; the temporality & kind of wavy fade to it is really exciting to me.

lol

I started writing a post earlier to make fun of his weekly wrap ups that tended to always include some comments on a recent photojournalism contest, instagram article, or other non-interesting item that were presented as a major controversy, and ta-dah! first thing I see on that link is an article about some world press photo thing.

this set is kinda a mixture of the best & the worst imo. some real medium format bloat.

ha, i'm gonna catch up on this. really wish weird separatist narcissism-of-small-differences shit wasn't fueling my appetite for new photo blogs but i am prepared to indulge my outrage here.

I like to read this when it's updated: http://francishodgson.com/
I might have found it from here in the first place though.

oh hey thank you. looks interesting.
the last thing I tried to keep up with was this, the tagline of which I think had deterred me a couple of times. it's sorta just a good list-format source for finding people to google image search. there can be a paucity of actual content but I caught little glimpses of really nice new Japanese stuff, like these arita taiji shots:

is that soth photo a frank tribute

he is such a cheeseball

i feel like if i knew him he would maybe think i was a bully
