NYC workshop with my boy @aaronbergerfoto coming up at the end of the month. Info at the link

I’m just getting back to NY thinking about the amazing time I had visiting my alma mater @buenavistauniversity . A place where so much growth and discovery happened for me. There I was a student athlete, won 2 conference championships playing basketball and got my degree in social work. It’s also where I met my best friend/wife @lpeopleswagner So much of my work is influenced from my time learning and growing there. The school acquired 6 of my pieces for their permanent collection and I was there on Monday speaking to students and faculty about my work and approach to the craft. For Lindsay and I to go back in this capacity is such a blessing 🙏🏾

I wrote a piece for @time about the legendary Gordon Parks and his influence on me and my path. Up now, link in bio. Thanks @katzandrew *Bushwick, Brooklyn 2016

In the introduction to her recent book, Listening to Images (2017), Tina M. Campt argues that quietness is a sonic methodology that provides a tool for contemplating the registers of the photograph. As she notes, “the quotidian is not equivalent to passive everyday acts, and quiet is not an absence of articulation or utterance.” That is, it’s not enough to see the image. Instead, we must also contend with what lives beyond the image, the world in which the image is located. Wagner’s Here for the Ride is a project of great care and skill from an artist who understands his role as a storyteller and attends the many utterances contained within his pictures. It’s a narrative of quiet wonder. - Words by @lynne_bias link in bio
