Karl Blossfeldt‘s work, so German, so exquisite, doing what much later the Becher‘s would do for industrial buildings,

and also Blossfeldt’s uncanny resemblance to Dash Snow…

Finally, Nicholas Nixon‘s new book, Live, Love, Look, Last, which shows a 4 decade dedicated vision and Nixon’s adherence to something akin to a poetic form, showing how the singular becomes expansive, and furthermore how in the specific resides the universal,

    I want to get Live, Love, Look, Last I just saw an exhibit at Phoenix Art Museum that featured the Brown Sisters, which I love. I didn’t stop in the gift shop, but I probably should just go back. I assume they’d have the book plus I wouldn’t mind seeing the exhibit again.
