Larry Clark’s Tulsa is one of those photography sets/books/exhibitions that everyone pretty much knows about and so I won’t go on an on about it. It launched Clark’s career and influenced a ton of movies and other photo projects. In it, Clark pretty much just photographed his friends, which wouldn’t be particularly remarkable, but for …

Todd Hido – ‘Silver Meadows’
Silver Meadows was the first B-Sides Boxed Set to appear. It was long out of print when I first discovered B-Sides and I scored this signed Artist’s Proof (#AP/500) only last year, around the same time that I dropped a nearly equivalent, rather embarrassingly large amount of money on Excerpts from Silver Meadows, when B-Sides …
Todd Hido – ‘Excerpts from Silver Meadows’
If I clearly remember my first encounter with Todd Hido’s House Hunting, my memory of Excerpts from Silver Meadows is more fragmented, confused, spotty.

Jason Lee – ‘Galveston’
Jason Lee’s Galveston was a long time coming. I preordered as soon as I heard about it, within days of the announcement on the @filmphotographic Insta, if I recall, and it was delayed several times by the pandemic. It’s here now, and it’s pretty much everything I expected.
Monaris – ‘Momentos’
To be honest (1), I was shocked to find that I wasn’t following Paola Franqui (aka, and hereafter, “Monaris”) on Instagram. Her lovely street photographs that remind me so much of a) Saul Leiter and b) color grading ca. ~2016 are ubiquitous on various magazine accounts on the app and you’ve no doubt seen the …
