Tim Davis.

A few weeks ago, Pete sent me a link to the new work by Tim Davis.

I’ve gone back to look through it a number of times and I think I like it more every time I do.

Check out The New Antiquity here.

Thanks Pete.

Proud Flesh.

Sally Mann’s new book Proud Flesh is an intimate collection of images 

of her husband that refer to his depressing story of having muscular dystrophy.

The images contain a sensitive view toward the physical nature of his body,

while the process of producing wet-plate collodion negatives 

emphasize the depressing truths of his deteriorating figure.
