Much too serious a talk for such average photographs
I just love to watch all her videos and enjoy her black and white pictures 📸 excellent photography work 💯
Absolute legend. Joel ignited my passion and interest in photography. Master of his craft and a true inspiration. ❤
Thank you for doing this. Really good. So appreciate it. By the way, that is a beautiful living room, the color of that sofa and everything.
I think this needs to be simplified. To paraphrase Charles Harbutt, photography is the only art (if it is an art at all) where either you or your camera have to actually be there. In this, I think the first speaker and the others are missing the point - and POWER of lens-based art. The conceptual basis of the art presented by the second speaker is impressive, but is it what we would know as photography? Also, the fact that generative art does not denote authorship and images taht are made by generative means are not LEGALLY considered having an artist at the back side - then outside of being part of a collective authorship (since generative art needs the memory muse of everything that has literally be made before it to have this machine that learns know) why do these prompters even think what they have done is their own work at all??? Maybe this is as basic as Kant's moral premise that protecting consciousness is the only thing that is worth fighting for, And AI is not our human consciousness.
Oh, and don't quote Sontag and Barthes. Philosphers and not photographers. Think who your audence is! I think the cat that points out that it is mostly a "artifical whiteness" that we are seeing, the infomatic game is "game over".
thank you, great presentation!
She looks better as a women, but how he/she doesn't have the facial hair ? Maybe use estrogen

As a photographer and a book collector I immensely enjoyed this presentation! And as a former publishing designer I appreciate the in-depth talk about the polygraphic process of printing this book. Years ago I used to work in a small publishing house back in Ukraine and we did everything from the start (scanning, graphics, layout design) to finish (plates, offset printing on German Heidelbergs, binding etc). I had a privilege of working along side old school master printers with decades of experience behind their backs. So I get what it takes to produce a good quality book in general. And to publish a great photobook requires a lot more! Great job with "Wires Crossed"! • On a related but sad note: on May 23rd, 2024 Russia committed yet another war crime when the Russian rocket strike destroyed a big printing house Vivat Factor-Druk (Фактор-Друк) in the city of Kharkiv, killed 7 employees. The scenes of thousands of books burning were heartbreaking. It was one of the largest publishing houses in Ukraine.
Ed is the man
Ed is a legend
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our May gathering with the absolutely incomparable Ed Templeton! We enjoyed so much bringing you all behind the scenes on the making of “Wires Crossed.” Don't forget to join the Club for invitations to future events, contribute to the conversations live, and enjoy discounts on featured titles: bit.ly/Aperture-PhotoBook-Club 📚✨
Need a long feature or documentary film from this team! Too good 🫶
8 years clean off of these streets
I'm just starting photography at 62 years young. The reason I began is due to everything you are saying in these videos. I totally 'grok' what your artistic process is as I think it's going to be mine also. I am already feeling the exact same 'stirrings' of my Soul. Thank you Joel so much. Plus it helps me with my isolation to be able to go out and meet others through my camera as I am always socially a bit nervous. It helps me see things anew and sometimes I see things in the picture which aren't there like eyes in the clouds etc.
Wow. Thank you so much. I'm only just learning about camera's later in life but love these ideas.
this video would be better if you chilled out and didnt flip through thte book so hard, had some background music, and put the book straight 👍
hell yeah
❤
Awesome!! Master of photography!
que belleza.
que nojo.🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
His eye is different... thank you for up holding his narrative. It's hard for us to promote our own work and art as we live in a labor camp, and it is hard for the space to support and promote honesty focus works. Thanks for not letting this work blow in the wind...

Does that Denise really know Alex Webb's work?
Nope.
wow sis very powerful arts
Great, thank you so much, what an incredible project
What an happy birthday gift ! A reconnection to the complex lives from 1965 to even 2025 with 3 creative exhibitions. This photobook video is a full treasure for whom like the work of art of Weston entangled with comtemporary images well balanced between grey and peach. This creative process is a prism of so many talented influences. Bravo 😉👌🎶
Wonderful presentation! Another book to buy... too many books so little time. Looking forward to owning this one! "Through Another Lens" by Charis is a very good read in case you have not read it.
😉👌🎶🕊🦅🦜🪿
Why couldn’t THESE PEOPLE JUST HAD THE PHOTOGRAPHER PRESENT. He is STILL ALIVE
was this the entire photobook or were some pictures left out?💜

Mi papá tiene varias carpetas, es increíble cómo se violenta la privacidad
esto necesita un libro
Waw gracias. Es el mejor cortometraje que e visto de Puerto Rico. Me toca fuerte en mi corazón por que aunque tengo 26 años mi abuelo que en paz descanse Neftalí Alvarado Alvarado paso por el carpeteo por su ideología y su amor por Puerto Rico. Gracias gracias gracias y continúen digitalizado todo este material
Increíble. Gracias a todos los que se esmeraron con este gran proyecto. Que viva Puerto Rico Libre.
Queremos mas!

Wonderful. Great to know content like this exists on UA-cam.
when i just saw Magneto
Truly fascinating.
Pretty beautiful little doc.
Forever in love with 12321 by Yao Yuan. When I saw the tiny exhibition in Antwerp, I knew I needed more and went straight to the shop to look for a book. I was so moved by the story and how the pictures swept me along with the journey. I remember how emotional I was when I first saw the work. So I went a second time to see it again and that same feeling never left- in fact, it amplified, so I went and bought the book. It's an enriching element of my dorm room now and I notice myself returning back to it oft-times. It truly is a whole world inside the 2 dimensional surface of each page. Beautiful 🤍
I loved this vídeo! Thanks!
The work we put into this compilation is much more than images can show. It is the community of love that makes this whole project worthwhile. I am proud to be part of this collection of beauty.
I recently came across this channel. I would like to contact you and gain a greater perspective. Would email be best? Thank you in advance
