I wrote the three previous posts in the summer of 2014—almost 10 years ago. I often think about some of the things I wrote and how, or if, they are applicable today. I still believe, now more than ever, that documentary photography and art photography are one in the same. I still believe the creation of documentary art requires active participation by all parties: the photographer, the subject, the curator, and the viewer. As such, the outcomes of how to read an image and what can be inferred are infinite. Thanks for reading along…S.
P.S. Happy Birthday to my mom, an English teacher!
