Delta Spirit Round 2

If you remember a few months back we had Delta Spirit in the studio to film a music video with the fine gentlemen of The Hobosoul. Well everyones waiting has paid off and we have...

Salton sea 09

Isa is far too kind to me. But I did have a great birthday party. On a completely different note. Last weekend Susan and I made the trek out to the desert to hang out with the Brofuturist crew and take in wasteland that is "The Salton Sea"

ReInvention and Evolution.

ReInventing seems to be the name of the game these days. 

Not only for our studio but our country at large. It's what 

nature does. It turns into a weed, seeds and propagates itself in the new season in a new place.  We're not a one trick pony here at the studio. We invite evolution and re-invention. 

In lieu of all that we have a party coming up...Be ready. 

And

Most importantly...

It's Kevin's 22nd time around the sun, yet with the age 

of a timeless soul.  

WHAT!?

This is craziness 

tension

Art can be pretty, a photograph can have good color and so on. But do I want to look again. Do I think there might be more there. I have been looking at two artists over the last year and I keep going back to there work. First is Josef koudelka (Photographer with magnum) and second is Lee Bontecou (the reclusive sculptor). They both raise a question that is hard for me to relate to. Every time I interface with their work I am constantly asked, what is the Artist not saying. In my work I want there to be sense of asking a question rather then proving something. To pawn off photography as a means of verification is to deny the artist the conversation and that is the very thing we are after. 

Roversi

As Paolo Roversi eloquently explains, "Studio is my life, my work, my way to deal with photography. It is not only a place, a space, a theater of imagination. Studio is a feeling, a state of mind, it's a way to look for the truth. Studio is everywhere I put my camera on the tripod, it's every moment I am in search of beauty and love. Studio is my observatory, through whose lenses I watch the universe."

James Nachtwey, And the reason we make pictures

I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated.- James Nachtwey If you are not familiar with his work, google him its worth the time. (its not for the faint but look here) . I know its not the usual fashion type stuff but he does raise important questions about why we choose to capture a moment in time and make a photograph. In addition to Nachtwey I have been looking a lot at early photographic work mostly Atget and Le Grey. All three, to me, share a common and slightly nebulous idea of "verification." Its as if something in the work wants to verify the existence of both its subject and it creator. The Photographer says, "Look, this subject was here." But the subtext becomes a conversation about between the subject and the creator. Where by the photographer says, "We were here." and now, in the conversation, the photographer becomes both witness and participant.

Kevin is back. And the megapixosaurus is in the hunt

This is my first week back in Long Beach. Its CRAZY, I think I was starting to have smog withdraws. Here is a map of our little road trip, just in case you care.

On Color. 

Seek the strongest color effect possible.. the content is of no importance.
Henri Matisse

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way--things I had no words for.
Georgia O'Keeffe

The color of the object illuminated partakes of the color of that which illuminates it.
