Wear Good Shoes: Advice to young photographers

Take a look at what Alec Soth has put together over at the Magnum Blog. "Wear Good Shoes: Advice to young photographers" is a recent post he put together with his and his Magnum colleagues words of advice to new photographers.

Richard Renaldi

I really enjoy the work of Richard Renaldi. Jorg Colberg recently had a conversation with him about his newest project "Touching Strangers"

SeeSaw Magazine

The artist, writer, critic Aaron Schuman started it several years ago, and it always includes a lot of wonderful work and some great writing and interviews.

Memory Is Your Image of Perfection
