Three images from CURRENT exhibitions in big cities:
Men's shoes with camera hidden in heel

from the exhibition:
Exposed
Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera
Tate Modern 28 May – 3 October 2010
in London
I chose this image because it is beautiful. I like that the shoes are well worn. I like the way the shoelace falls. And I like the reflection in the black surface and the shine on the shoes.

Alfred Stieglitz (American, 1864–1946). Fountain (photograph of assisted readymade by Marcel Duchamp). 1917. Gelatin silver print, 9 1/4 x 7"
From the Museum of Modern Art NY exhibition: The Original Copy 1839 to today.
I selected this image because: Duchamp Rules! (despite what my mother says) and I like imagining the actual making of this image and thinking of Stieglitz and Duchamp having a conversation about this sculpture and this photograph.

Bernd and Hilla Becher, Water Towers, 1980. Nine gelatine silver prints.
from the Guggenheim Museum NY exhibition:
Why did I choose this image? I chose this image because it reminds me of a personal experience from my youth that I don't want to post to this blog.
NOW, three images that I made recently:
Ms. Moneypenny and Natasha, Saturday August 21, 2010
I selected this image because it seems like a personal moment shared between two people (but I don't know them).
I picked this image because my friend Lauren set it up and asked me to take the photograph, so when I look at it I think of Lauren.
This is a photograph / snapshot of Lauren. August 21, 2010. I picked this image because it shows her having fun.
