If you find yourself in LA these weeks spend an hour at Fahey/Klein Gallery and see the Sarah Moon show (LaBrea and 1st ave.), till May 21, 2011.
Just exquisit photography that just seemes to me like it happened yesterday.
True genius is timeless and never goes away, it just gets neglected by the mainstream.
And the best part, you can actually own these pieces, beats the auction market.
Always loved his work, straight forward that reminds me of August Sander great look at the Germans early 1930ties, just with african charm. The eye of Bamako is a great show in a great space, up till April 9, 2011 , so if you’re in LA you have to swing by

What a great selection of photographs.
I always loved the Atget view of Paris. I still it believe it exists, those quite moments in a large city and especially in Paris. They make every city magical, otherworldly, quite; an emotion that’s very hard to comunicate. And Atget stands the test of time.
On the other hand the great self build camera and the resulting images that Miroslav Tichy creates, come straight out of his phantasy, well excuted with a handmade edge that seems to be disapperaing very rapidly these days.
Both are at the ICP in NY til May 09, 2010
After a couple of great shoots recently i felt compelled to give them their own gallery.
Let me know what you think. I love to see their characters come through.
I just got the book a couple of days ago and it’s a brilliant little gem. But i really urge everyone interested in the best photographical portrait work ever done, to see the show in person.
It’s up at the National Portrait Gallery in London until June 6, 2010 and then at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome from July 1st through September 19th, 2010.
We lost a giant.
He, of all the photographers in history, influenced me the most.
His attention to detail, the contrast and the simplification of subjects will always be inspiring.
His work was one of the first that really stood out for me as a teenager when I first got into photography and discovered “Passage” and later “Flowers”.
(And I read all the book on photography in our library; twice)
And today I’m still amazed on the broad subject matter he shot so exquisitely and was always excited finding another Penn photograph in Vogue over the years.
There is a very short list of photographers that I’m a true fan and he is on top of even this group.
This is truly one of the saddest days in the Photography world and words will never be enough.
His series “Petit métiers” shot for Vogue in the 50′s is on display at the Getty Center in LA till January 10, 2010
