Recently Jim Wegener, from the SVA D-Crit program, interviewed me about my recent photography work. I made this video by overlaying images of my work on the audio track he produced. Enjoy!

Jacob Holdt "United States 1970-1975"
I found out about Jacob Holdt when I was browsing the second floor of the Strand bookstore looking for some economically priced photo books. I had never heard of Holdt beforeand after flipping through a few pages I was blown away his pictures. It's like I had discovered some kind secret art nugget.
"In the early 1970s, when Jacob Holdt first arrived in the US with 40 dollars in his pocket, he planned to travel quickly across the country to South America. But, totally shocked and fascinated by what he discovered, he ended up staying five years. His family could scarcely believe the letters he sent them detailing the poverty he saw, so his father sent him a cheap amateur camera in order that Holdt could send home proof of his claims. Living as a vagabond, selling his blood twice a week, hitch-hiking over 100,000 miles, he depicted an incredible and unique portrait of America and its underclass."
But the story gets better...
After Holdt had completed the body of work and he showed it around Europe the Soviet government was interested publishing a book. Holdt agreed as he thought the book would raise awareness of impoverished people everywhere but then found out the KGB intended to use his work as anti American propaganda and had a lawyer successfully stop the Soviet distribution of the book. He has since worked for CARE as well as documenting white supremacist groups.
The thing about this book that is so great is it really shows how a well put together photo book can make a body of work. If you check out Holdt's website the images are still amazing but the book sequencing and selection of the photos in the book make the work so much more impressive. Make sure to check out the Steidl website as it has spreads from the book.

Artistic Collaborations
It's not every day that artists meet other artists who are interested in so many of the same things, and even have an appreciation for one another's aesthetic.
I have known Tokyo-based Colombian artist Klaus Fruchtnis for many years, but it is just recently that we discovered our similar interests in using photography as a way to capture urban spaces, in particular public ones. We also seem to always end up in language-based exercises.
We first collaborated on the Thing-a-Day blog run by some great people over at Eyebeam, and most recently decided to continue these ideas in a project we are calling Cross Urban.
I also recently met Brooklyn-based artist Annie Leist, (we were in a group show together at Broadway Gallery) and when I read her artist statement, I had to make sure I was not reading my own. I'm sure we'll find a way to work together as well - something I look forward to!

Come check out this exhibition which displays documentation of that process that started in a Spring 2008 class on campus in New York City and culminated in Guatemala in late June.

Recent (old) Work
I actually dug these two images out of my vault recently. The one with the lens flares of the fire is probably going to go into the book I'm working on for my 'points of interest' series but the one of the doorway is a bit of an orphan right now, it may find it's way into the same body.
