RALPH EUGENE MEATYARD: "James Rhem on Ralph Eugene Meatyard, 1925 - 1972" (1999)

RALPH EUGENE MEATYARD: "James Rhem on Ralph Eugene Meatyard, 1925 - 1972" (1999) | Photography Now | Scoop.it

Ralph Eugene Meatyard's death in 1972, a week away from his 47th birthday, came at the height of the "photo boom", a period of growth and ferment in photography in the United States which paralleled the political and social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. It was a time of ambition, not reflection, a time for writing resumés, not thoughtful and inclusive histories; in the contest of reputation, dying in 1972 meant leaving the race early.

When did you first know that you wanted to be a photographer?

5B4: Five books in a suitcase | Photography Now | Scoop.it

While in Europe a couple months ago for the Rencontres d'Arles festival I found quite a few interesting items and as I look over them I see my tastes have drawn me to almost as many non-photobooks as photo-related ones.

VICTOR COBO: "Down in the Hole" (2011)

VICTOR COBO: "Down in the Hole" (2011) | Photography Now | Scoop.it

Victor Cobo is the contemporary version of Baudelaire’s nineteenth century flâneur who roamed the streets of Paris following his intrigue. Cobo is specifically in pursuit of the seedier side of life though, much like what we see in Toulouse Lautrec and Edgar Degas’ works (especially in the latter artists brothel monotypes).
