link of the week

I just recently discovered the website for the Richard Avedon foundation. Richard Avedon died on assignment in 2004. Since then the Richard Avedon foundation has been established. I think their website has a more complete and cohesive collection of his work than anything online when he was alive. Here's the link-

Silent World by Michael Kenna

I've been looking at the work of Michael Kenna. I saw a book of his Japanese landscapes years ago and I recently stumbled upon more of his stuff. What's amazing about his photos have this lonely haunting feel no matter what the subject matter. His photos of New York city are in the same style as his shots of natural landscapes.





His website can be seen here

A more simple/organized page of his work here

I've been very into this series that photographer Lane Collins shot recently. She shot a lot of surreal looking photos by the beach using different object/animals etc... The series is conceptually abstract and all the photos have a really nice feel about them-

Some really good pinhole camera and holga stuff.

awesome photo link

Kate showed me this great photo/video portfolio. According to the site "None of the images have been digitally collaged or superimposed. They record what the artist himself saw through the lens of his camera...These mixed media photographic works marry umber and sepia tones in a distinctive encaustic process on handmade Japanese paper."
