Conscientious » The Pleasures of Good Writing
A little while ago, I wrote a post entitled We Need Better Critical Writing about Photography, in which I voiced my frustration about… well, I suppose I don't need to spell it out again. I stand by what I wrote. But I am also happy to report that there is hope, and quite a bit of it, in the form …

Conscientious » Jörn Vanhöfen
Jörn Vanhöfen's Detroit (pdf) is still work in progress, and I'm looking forward to seeing the final result. I do like the presentation in the pdf quite a bit.

Conscientious » Kristen Sykes
“Last year I began a series of paint-by-numbers entitled Southern Sensations. Each of the images began as a photograph, from which I removed all color, shading, and most of the intricate detail in favor of black lines, negative space and numbers which correspond to the colors that were present. It was a long and drawn out process that basically reduced …

Conscientious » MAS Context – Issue 7
Earlier this year, MAS Studio's Iker Gil emailed me to ask whether I would be willing to write an essay about photography and information for an issue of MAS Context. You'd imagine that's straightforward, but the more I thought about it the fuzzier it got. In the end, I decided to try to throw a curveball, writing mostly about photography …

Conscientious » A few thoughts on Kikuji Kawada's The Map
I decided to compile my thoughts about Kikuji Kawada's The Map into a post and share them. You can find the piece here.

The project is trans African in its orientation, and sees participating artists collectively taking road trips across Africa to explore and participate in various photographic events , festivals and exhibitions.

Conscientious » Jonathan Levitt
There are quite a few images in Jonathan Levitt's wake to songbirds wake to crows, which might make things a bit overwhelming. Regardless, the project is well worth the visit.

Conscientious » Phillip Maisel
The multiple exposures in Phillip Maisel's A More Open Place were produced by flipping through Facebook photo albums, with a camera pointed at the computer screen. The results are often intriguing.

Conscientious » Review: Es hat sich alles einfach so ergeben by Saskia Schüler
First things first: That's not the cover of Saskia Schüler's Es hat sich alles einfach so ergeben [Things just happened that way]. Turns out finding the actual cover larger than postage-stamp size online is… errrr… impossible – as is finding a website for the artist other than this one, which in terms of making the work look terrible …

Dennis Dunleavy » Digital Days Project: Day 206
In the fall of 1982, while working at a small daily newspaper in Ypsilanti, MI, I watched with some amusement a brand new newspaper rack being installed near city hall. I couldn't believe another… [[ This is a content summary only. Visit MyWebsite.com for full links, other content, and more! ]] [Link]

Conscientious » Review: Destroy This Memory by Richard Misrach
Five years ago, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Almost 2,000 people lost their lives, with an estimated property damage of the order of 90 billion US$ (this is where I found these numbers – just so you have an idea how much money that is, it 's about ten billion US$ less than what is currently being spent every …

Donna J. Wan's recent photography is centered on landscapes, with Promised Lands being my favourite.

Conscientious » Nico Baumgarten
The story of Detroit is well known, the story of East German cities hemorrhaging people less so. Nico Baumgarten's the time has come, get me out of here portrays Dessau, in the 1920s the city of the Bauhaus.

Conscientious » Entering the world of photobook publishing
Last December, I talked a bit about photobooks. As much as I love photobooks, what bothers me is that they're all so similar: "You have an intro [...] plus a bunch of images, usually one per page, so as you flip the pages you get one photo after the other [...]. That's it!" Of course, there's nothing inherently wrong with …

Conscientious » Reinaldo Loureiro
“Once a deserted land and traditionally an impoverished territory, today the Almeria, Dalías and Níjar fields represent the largest concentration of plastic greenhouses in the world. This photo essay documents how the mass-production of vegetables for northern European markets has dramatically shaped the landscape of the region. Southeast Spain is still one of the main arrival points of migrants from …

Conscientious » Michelle Kloehn
What I like about Michelle Kloehn's images is that the use of the tintype or ambrotype process is part of what makes each image.

It’s quite surprising that you don't see church services held in actual malls more often – like those shown by Estan Cabigas in The New Cathedrals.

Conscientious » Review: Story/No Story by Tobias Zielony
Maybe there is something new to be said about the lives of young people. For a while, I didn't think anything worthwhile could still be added. After all, with our culture being centered on and catering to youth, what else is there to say? Of course, it would take just the right person to point out something new – or …

Conscientious » Review: Terezin by Daniel Blaufuks
“The first image I saw of the Terezin camp, formerly known as Theresienstadt, an hour's drive away from Prague, was in a book by the German author W.G. Sebald." This first sentence in Daniel Blaufuks' Terezin sets the tone for what is to follow, in more ways than just one. If you are familiar with Sebald's work, you realize that …

Conscientious » Using Images For Or Against War
When Time Magazine published the cover that showed the face of a mutilated Afghan woman (for an in-depth take on it read this article) I immediately thought of Ernst Friedrich, who published a book entitled War Against War a few years after the end of World War I (1924). Friedrich used previously censored images from the war to make …

Andrew Spear's We Felt Alive "is an ongoing essay exploring the lust, the promiscuity, the insecurities that have become as essential to college as books and classes."

Conscientious » Ansel Adams And the Art World Name Game
Chances are that after reading this article you'll either find yourself in the "Yeah, right!" camp or in the "Well, that's just how it works" one: "To the extent that art is about appreciating aesthetic objects for their own sake, is it right to put so much stake in the question of who did the drawing or painting or snapping?" Of …
