Essay: The spirit of the case
My dad uses the phraseĀ āselective compressionā when talking about representing the world in his scale railroad model. I came to realize that itāsĀ the same as the collapse between the real and the ideal - Flannery O'Connor calls it ādistortionā and TS Eliot says that itās āpressureā - that distinguishes experience from art and results in a new thing in the world. And itās why Walker Evans succeeded where his FSA boss Roy Stryker failed in their photographic projects.

Belief and Technique for Modern Prose
Scribbled secret notebooks, and wild typewritten pages, for yr own joy
Submissive to everything, open, listening
Try never get drunk outside yr own house
Be in love with yr life
Something that you feel will find its own form
Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind
Blow as deep as you want to blow
Write what you want bottomless from bottom of the mind
The unspeakable visions of the individual
No time for poetry but exactly what is
Visionary tics shivering in the chest
In tranced fixation dreaming upon object before you
Remove literary, grammatical and syntactical inhibition
Like Proust be an old teahead of time
Telling the true story of the world in interior monolog
The jewel center of interest is the eye within the eye
Write in recollection and amazement for yourself
Work from pithy middle eye out, swimming in language sea
Accept loss forever
Believe in the holy contour of life
Struggle to sketch the flow that already exists intact in mind
Dont think of words when you stop but to see picture better
Keep track of every day the date emblazoned in yr morning
No fear or shame in the dignity of yr experience, language & knowledge
Write for the world to read and see yr exact pictures of it
Bookmovie is the movie in words, the visual American form
In praise of Character in the Bleak inhuman Loneliness
Composing wild, undisciplined, pure, coming in from under, crazier the better
Youāre a Genius all the time
Writer-Director of Earthly movies Sponsored & Angeled in Heaven
The list was allegedly tacked on the wall of Allen Ginsbergās hotel room in North Beach a year before his iconic poem āHowlā was written ā which is of little surprise, given Ginsberg readily admitted Kerouacās influence and even noted in the dedication of Howl and Other Poems that he took the title from Kerouac. more onĀ Branpickings

Raymond Meeks (b. 1963) is widely known and well respected as photographer and book-maker who has published over twenty photobooks in a wide range of formats since 2009. In the Orchard Journal series (2010 - 2011) published with Silas Finch, Meeks produced three collaborative books intertwining his work with that of Wes Mills, Mark Steinmetz and Deborah Luster. However, the vast majority of Meeks's books have been self-published in very small collectible editions, each comprising a specific and singular body of his own photographic work. In November 2014, Light Work organized a mid-career retrospective of Meeks's photographic work and books, and this year Meeks is embarking on a new collaborative series of books under the title Dumbsaint. In the following conversation, Meeks discusses his photographic practice and its ties to book-making.
Iām thrilled to have an excerpt from a conversation I had with Raymond Meeks published by the Houston Center for Photography online. Itās from an issue of SPOT magazine, which was published in Fall 2016, and which you can download or purchase here. The issue also featured a piece by Tim Carpenter on John Gossage, a piece by Jonathan Blaustein, and a feature by HCP director Ashlyn Davis on the vernacular photobook.

āCelminsā skepticism tells her that painting can never get the better of appearances. Painting is always behind. But the difference is that, once finished, the image remains fixed. This is why the image has to be full - not of resemblance but of searching. All tricks wear thin. Only what comes unasked has a hope.ā -John Berger, from The Shape of a Pocket
I had an in depth conversation with Shane Lavalette about my solo exhibition One Wall a Web, which is on view in the Kathleen O. Ellis Gallery at Light Work, in Syracuse, NY. You can read the conversation here: http://paper-journal.com/interview-stanley-wolukau-wanambwa/
Many thanks to Patricia Karallis and Shane Lavalette.
Essay: I lost it
Our latest essay is a bit of a ramble of associations - a moment of destruction, some songs (Lucinda Williams, Vic Chesnutt, Tanya Donelly), a poem (Wallace Stevens), some pictures (Friedlander, Modica, Steinmetz). Check it out and let us know what you think.

There is so little to remember of anyone - an anecdote, a conversation at a table. But every memory is turned over and over again, every word, however chance, written in the heart in the hope that memory will fulfill itself, and become flesh, and that the wanderers will find a way home, and the perished, whose lack we always feel, will step through the door finally and stroke our hair with dreaming habitual fondness not having meant to keep us waiting long.

Essay: The forest for the trees
When asked one evening what heād been photographing that day, William Eggleston responded,Ā āIāve been photographing democratically.ā And thus the animating idea of his 1989 bookĀ The Democratic Forest was born. The massive Steidl reissue of the project unfortunately does damage to that democracy. On the bright side, it does offer a thousand or so pictures, most never published before.Ā

āJust do your work. And if the world needs your work it will come and get you. And if it doesnāt, do your work anyway. You can have fantasies about having control over the world, but I know I can barely control my kitchen sink. That is the grace Iām given. Because when one can control things, one is limited to oneās own vision.ā
