I saw a picture over on Flak Photo yesterday, and I thought “hey, that’s really clever, I like that contemporary picture”. And then I saw the artist was Jason Lazarus and took a little trip over to his site and saw his Wall of Fire photo, which I realized I had admired months ago when it was in a limited edition print sale over at Humble.
I had even asked for funding to buy it, though that didn’t work out.
So, anyway, here’s my chance on this new blog to say: “hey guys, me too! I like Jason Lazarus too!”
That is all.
“Self portrait as an artist making something contemporary” 2004
“Standing under the same moon as Barack Obama” 2006
“Wall of Fire, Labor Day” 2006
“At play” 2004
“Untitled” 2008
See more Lazarus-ness here.
I was trying to remember why I recognized Jason’s name and then it finally hit me – he was my Photography 2 (color) teacher when I was an undergrad at Columbia College Chicago. Fantastic guy and teacher.
love this. that contemporary shot was in one of the shows at the nyphoto festival.
