from “The Last Days of W.” by the remarkable concept-photographer Alec Soth.

I don’t know what to do with photography most of the time… I know how to listen to a song, and how to watch a movie, but the still-visual arts have always been hard for me, particularly photography. But for whatever reason there’s something about Mr. Soth (pronounced like Both) that compels me to understand the underlying motion in good photography I’ve been long overdue to pick up on.

I was going to stop posting today and then I saw this posted by an old compadre, Shane Artsy, (yes, that’s his real name) and had to share.

Tammy was a friend from Boston whose acquaintance I made far too seldom. Yet she was always a joy to talk to killing time in coffee shops. From those brief interactions I knew she took photos but until just recently seeing her photography I had no idea she was up to such a high caliber. Click on the photo above for more.
