Weston at the MFA

The only word for some of these 8×10 contact prints is exquisite. I saw this last week and stood in front of one particular shot for several minutes, just marvelling at the dynamic range, the detail, the total command of the medium. It’s only up for one more month. I strongly encourage you to see it if you can. It’s just a small show, one room, but it’ll stick with you longer than that Testino nonsense.

Documenting the death of film

As an avid analog photographer this project struck a chord with me & I bet there’s a chance it will with you too.
