DREAMING OF THE SNAPSHOT AESTHETIC

The subjective objectivity and dirty, confessional realism of the snapshot aesthetic completely enchant me. I love the ability of the camera to capture actual events with a sense of anachronistic realism. My goal is to create simple photographs where the attention is on the moment, but where the context remains an ambiguous pseudo-fiction with which you can imagine any narrative. This is my year in photography school.

Wow, Wow, Wow.

My favorite photographer, the talented Ryan McGinley, shot one of my favorite local faces, the lovely Richard Bars. Welcome home from NY Richard. I'm hella into you, and I'm hella into this shot.

p.s. I stole this scan from the ever stylish Tjejsajten girls.
