I saw Daniel Gordon’s flying pictures when I worked in the admissions office at ICP, and then not again for years. He went to Yale instead, you see.
And now he has a book out with a forward by Gregory Crewdson, so I guess he made the correct choice.
I did the photo research today to find fish photographs, as I like to pick a theme and swim with it. And up popped Dirk Westphal. I’ve never met anyone named Dirk, it’s like a name from the movies.
Guys, it’s an exciting day here at A Photography Blog. It’s our (first) annual fundraising drive! Hold on while I channel Ira Glass.
I’m trying to learn things about motion. I consulted Motionographer today to that end, and found Nuit Blanche. I love it; it’s violent and sparkly and slowwwww.
I was trying to make some sort of cute pun with that title, so that we all might know I was talking about the Super Bowl, but it just turned into an album title.

I love this work.
Buy great art! Help people! This is not a real fish.
Today I was sitting around thinking about Alex Prager. So I went to her website and Lo! she is having an opening tomorrow at Yancey!
Can you believe it?
