So in NYC, doing fashion week and photo work. Photos are coming slowly, Meetings with APERTURE and Robert Frank. Had a real wake up call.


Robert Frank quote

"well that is what you are left with is your work, you order it, and then bring it to a publisher and if you lucky someone publish it"

"go around and learn something what ever you learn"


Robert Franks, desk,we talked for about an hour.

Chris Booth quote "the images are strong but the world of street photography is limited to the masters of the past or to the Avant guard works of the contemporary art world



Went to a Pizza joint in Brooklyn they had Bruce Davidson photos of "gangs" on the wall all signed turns out the owners dad is the gang member from Brooklyn that Davidson photographed in the 1950's!

Went to see Brooklyn Museum, works by Gravity and Grace: Monumental Works by El Anatsui

Saw this in SF about 5 years ago really powerful stuff, reminded me of  Gustav Klimt color patterns and Hunderwasser.
