Picture Black Friday



Well, once you get yourself full of turkey and settled in your sofa catching the game (my money is on Cowboys), you get a chance to catch your breath before Black Friday strikes. What does Black Friday have to do with photography ? The drama of thousands of people packing stores around the country is definitely a visual feast which is why there's a two year old photo competition called "Picture Black Friday". beginning this Friday Nov 26 and running to December 5th.

Picture Black Friday is a photojournalism project that aims to revisit and analyze a combination of forces- a worsening economy, financial desperation, excitement, fear, and a distinctly American cultural tradition- that culminate the morning after Thanksgiving.

More specifically, Picture Black Friday is an open call for photographers throughout the U.S. to go out and produce images that document Black Friday- how you see it, on your terms. Imagine this project as an open assignment: you have freedom to approach this event from any angle you wish, returning with single images or even a mini-project that documents Black Friday like no other media outlet will.


The judges are pretty impressive : Brian Ulrich, Ruben Natal San Miguel, Jon Feinstein, Shane Lavalette, Elizabeth Avedon and John Bennette. I've posted some of my favorites below.

Ana Serrano "Salon of Beauty"


Rice University Art Gallery's current exhibition "Salon of Beauty" features the beautiful handmade work of Los Angeles based Artist Ana Serrano. The film unveils the process required to bring Ana's previously small scale sculptures to nearly life size inside of Rice Gallery. The completed exhibition is a colorful landscape inspired by South L.A. neighborhoods where small and often overlooked details are playfully mixed together

"There are a lot of difficult things about the job–the business aspect is very challenging because our industry doesn’t really operate like a business. But what I think is hardest for me is how much is outside of my control. You need the right circumstances to take a good picture, and those don’t always align. I’m a perfectionist and I like to work hard to accomplish something, and photography is more devious than that. At the same time, this really pushes me to flexible, which I like."

KC Ortiz “White Wash” (11/19)





On Saturday, November 19, graffiti artist POSE and photojournalist KC Ortiz will unveil Whitewash, their second exhibition at Known Gallery, and their most cohesive to date. For KC, Whitewash is about the people and places he photographs. “Much of the work I do covers those who have been ‘whitewashed,’ so to speak, by history and policy,” KC notes. “Specifically, the work I will be exhibiting is from West Papua and Burma. You won’t find either of those ‘nations’ on the map, as both have been essentially ‘whitewashed’ away. Burma has been renamed Myanmar by its ruling junta in order to establish the fantasy of a unified nation, and West Papua has been occupied by Indonesia since 1963 after a very controversial handover from the Dutch that was orchestrated by the United States.”

In the project room, KC will show 12 photographs of West Papua and Burma’s armed struggles. “The struggles are unified in their nature under the theme of resistance, the victimhood of whitewashing by the world at large, the beauty of their people, and the strength of the human spirit and dignity,” KC notes.

"I believe there are more people taking pictures now than before, but the big change is access. However, if you go through the shoeboxes of anyone who has passed away and left a legacy of prints and slides to be mulled over by their survivors, you realize that there have always been millions of images out there. All shot by different people of all the same things. What separates great photography now as it did then, was a unique vision. That will always stand out."

Ugly Face Wednesday


... a series of Wednesday night guerilla art projects taking place every Wednesday in November: Ugly Face Wednesdays, curated by Stephanie Gonot. The first projection took place in the parking lot of Vons in Echo Park, Gonot’s home in Los Angeles – on a wall that she’s been interested in using for a while now. Using a projector attached to her car battery to display 10 foot faces, observers (many of whom had submitted their own uglies to be projected) lingered in the lot, giggling, chatting and munching on tacos from Taco Zone.

Wim Wenders discussion + book signing (11/18)




'When you travel a lot, and when you love to just wander around and get lost, you can end up in the strangest spots. I have a huge attraction to places. Already when I look at a map, the names of mountains, villages, rivers, lakes or landscape formations excite me, as long as I don't know them and have never been there ... I seem to have sharpened my sense of place for things that are out of place. Everybody turns right, because that's where it's interesting, I turn left where there is nothing! And sure enough, I soon stand in front of my sort of place. I don't know, it must be some sort of inbuilt radar that often directs me to places that are strangely quiet, or quietly strange"


Places, Strange and Quiet gathers photographs from 1983 to 2011 in a full panorama of Wenders' photography to date. He'll be at Book Soup this Friday to chat about his book as well as do a book signing.

Hello, Skater Girl



My goal is to conclude a year of documenting girls skateboarding with an image and text photography book. Ultimately, I hope the becomes something that documents a moment in skateboarding's cultural history and can inspire and encourage the sport and the women who eagerly participate in it.

I've been working on this project since November of 2010 and plan on finishing by the end of 2011. I've already made two "prototype" books as a way to experiment with design, layout and to communicate my intent for the project and to test the way that the photography works within the context of a book.

Naked Hollywood : Weegee in Los Angeles (11/13)


Naked Hollywood: Weegee in Los Angeles is the first museum exhibition devoted to the work Weegee produced in Southern California. In addition to roughly 200 photographs, many of which have never before been shown or reproduced, the exhibition encompasses Weegee's related work as an author, filmmaker, photo-essayist, and genius self-promoter. Following the photographer's lead, the exhibition documents the lurid, irresistible undersides of stardom, fandom, commerce, and publicity in mid-century Los Angeles. Weegee's 1953 photo-book Naked Hollywood provides the title and point of departure for the exhibition. (via)

"I’m genuinely concerned about the number of young people that are pursuing degrees in photography, presumably thinking that the success criteria in this medium stems from joining the canon of photography as contemporary art, and then make a living out of that position. Such aspirations are founded upon a disingenuous idea – that photography is democratic, and therefore everyone has a fighting, almost entrepreneurial chance to be a leading light in this ‘democratic medium’ – when in fact both these aspirations and the art market are not democratic whatsoever, but are about being the one lifted from the many. So I am genuinely worried about what we are training students to do, or what they’re going to participate in, if such degrees continue to be dedicated to this notion of photography as contemporary art." - Charlotte Cotton to Aaron Schuman for Seesaw Magazine

IRIS Nights - Alex Kuczynski + Susan Anderson "The Gold Standard" (11/17)


Good looks in Los Angeles are hard currency and, when invested properly, more dependable in their rate of return than Treasury bills. The body and face have become the billboard for how we advertise ourselves. We are obsessed with youth and beauty, with attempting to create it and hold it hostage for as long as we can. When legions of women conform to the same narrow standards, they begin to redefine the beauty ideal.

Alex Kuczynski, author of Beauty Junkies and a reporter and columnist for The New York Times. She also writes for Vanity Fair, The New York Times Book Review, The New York Times Magazine, Harper's Bazaar and a number of other publications. She has also contributed essays to National Public Radio. Kuczynski will discuss the iconography of beauty and celebrity that has created a culture of obsession and conformity.

Susan Anderson, a Los Angeles-based photographer who has explored notions of beauty through her portraits of child pageant contestants, focuses this time on subjects in Southern California, and examines the concept of a gold standard in beauty. Her inspiration comes from art history, Hollywood glamour, reality television, celebrity culture and the California dream

Passes for next week's IRIS Nights will be available Wednesday (Nov 9) at noon as well as Thursday (Nov 10) at 9:30 am.

When you are in the business of selling something subjective like photography, there is no standard formula which will tell you who is going to connect with what you do, any more than it is possible to predict who is likely to fall in love with you.

Following what's hot right now; doing what you have been seeing out there already – imitating the same content, styles, or processes as everybody else is going to be futile in the end. If you make and show images with the intention of speaking the language of potential clients (and that is what most people do)...you will just end up looking like most people.

You will wind up moving away from yourself.

“Yeah but I have to make money”.

Which you may, for a while. However, your career will ultimately suffer.

And so will your heart.

The answer: Make work that is made entirely of... You. Your life, and your passions. The things that no one else can appropriate. If you do that, (and get past your fears about whether it will work), you will have less, or even no competition. And that is always safer and more profitable than being part of the crowd.

Scot Sothern "Lowlife : Photographs and Literary Vignettes" (11/5)




"Scot Sothern's photographs of dark rooms, contorted faces and abused but undefeated bodies reveal the hypocrisy of a society that simultaneously fears and revels in cheap, bought sex in which both sellers and the buyers are victims of desperate but distinct needs. His pictures tell us something about the people who appear in the them, and teach us difficult truths about the animal condition in which all of us must survive." --John Sevigny

Words from Tom Griggs

+ Not only are there no divisions between your bodies of work, there is no division between your work and your life – they are all part of one thing.

+ You can’t do it all, but you can do one thing intensely.

+ Don’t be afraid of beauty, but don’t make it your main subject or content. The same is true for light.

+ Making images and thinking about your images need to be respected as separate processes done at separate times.

+ Photography does not require a good camera, the perfect light, or enough time. If photography is something you should be doing, you’ll make images on the days when you don’t have these things.

+ Carry your camera everywhere. A good image can be made anywhere.

+ To paraphrase the commencement speaker at my undergraduate graduation who was paraphrasing someone else: talent in art is about as important as tits on a boar. Success on every level - from personal satisfaction to your first Guggenheim - is work, work, and more work.

+ Give yourself permission to make photographs without prejudging them. You don’t have to show them to anyone. If you’re not sure if you should take the picture or not, take it.

+ Put down your camera and spend time just looking - frequently.

+ Take a few weeks off every year – at least.

+ Photography has strong personalities, friendships of benefit, questionable minds with power, and straight-up assholes just like every other business. Many good photographers are not only good, they are also strategic and cutthroat. Exposure depends - to a degree - on developing connections and on what sells. You’ll have to market yourself; no one is out there waiting to discover your work. Sharpen your elbows as well as your vision.

+ Turn outside of photography for instruction and inspiration – go to movies, operas and the theater. Have music on while you work at home. Read all the time. Digest slowly.

+ Practical advice: Find a second source of income. Learn basic carpentry, become an EMT or study basic investing.

+ Travel every opportunity you can, especially during your 20’s.

+ We have witnessed an explosion of great photographers in this generation, but it’s an explosion of too frequently similar great photography. Understand longer cycles of art and have faith in understanding and developing your own innate drives within the medium.

+ Decisions by juries and committee are notoriously fickle and are frequently a compromise between several people on someone / something. Learn from rejections and listen to criticism, but don’t pin your sense of worth as a person or photographer on these things. There’s a degree of correlation between quality and success in the photography world, but it is not a meritocracy nor is it rational.

+ Build a community – photography is a game more fun played with other photographers. Go beyond yourself so that you rejoice in and actively help the success of others.

+ The best photographs involve you on all three levels simultaneously: head, heart, and sex. [tip of the cap to Nicholas Nixon]

+ The best photographers are students all of their life; photography can never be completely learned.

+ Finally and absolutely most importantly, laugh - and don’t be too hard on yourself, either. Photography is less serious than we usually think.

IRIS Nights - Frank Ockenfels 3 (11/10)


That’s the most important thing. That’s truly the art form of what this is. The art form of being a commercial photographer is basically solving the problem creatively, putting your stamp on it somehow that people do know it’s you, and then having the client be happy at the end of day. That’s the art form. People forget that; that it’s an art form to actually be able to do this.


Next Thursday at the Annenberg Space for Photography, photographer Frank Ockenfels 3 will be guest speaker. This event is free and passes are available on Wednesday Nov. 2nd (noon) and Thursday Nov. 3rd (9:30 am)

A Photo Editor interview Frank a few years back here . If you were lucky, you saw Frank Ockenfels speak @ ASMP/LA almost 2 week ago.
