Alec Soth encountered Robert Adams’s 1985 monograph Summer Nights as a young photographer, and the book was, in his words, a “gateway drug” to the “harder stuff” in Adams’s body of work. This video is Soth’s response to Adams, and was featured in the 2012 Aperture Remix exhibition at Aperture Gallery.

A interesting video about the editing aspects of GITS movie. It explains perfectly the diferences between: action-to-action narrative story, to aspect-to-aspect narrative story.

Tom Wood, From the book "Men/Women", 1978-1979.

“…(a photograph) it’s not supposed to be beautiful, it supposed to be believable. Photography is not about being good or bad, its never been. It’s just about the atmosphere and what kind of temperament is behind the camera. Not so much in front of the camera. That’s what important! To show yourself in one way or another.”

Wang Fuchun, a railway-worker turned photographer, has produced amazing photos of chinese people in trains for over three decades.

Including the payment of my analyst bill. (In our culture, men are expected to provide the women they marry with their necessities. I would say it magnanimous on my part to be asking for this for a limited time: the time during which we might have and raise two children to school age.) But my analyst bill is not even relevant at this point. What is extremely relevant is the money you owe the government in back taxes. Your inability to pay the rent on time. You constantly running out of money. Your credit rating. And most of all, your flippant, irresponsible, nonsensical attitude towards these very real problems. ("I’ll wait till the government catches up with me. Why should I pay them any money now?) You seem incapable of exercising your mind in any cogent way…”

Obata Yuji - Bird of Paradise: Madeira

Originally trained as a scientist, Naito took up photography professionally in the early sixties. He developed an interest in ethnography and folklore and was especially fascinated with the mummified remains of priests who had starved themselves in order to attain enlightenment at the sacred mountain of Dewa Yudono-san in Tohoku. He photographed the itako mediums and spiritual places of this area along with its folk culture and popular religious practices.
