Quite nice work by Jurgen Bergbauer (artist website here) – found via post by 5B4 Photography and Books (written up nicely as well….) - here’s some more hinting at the “construction” of the book by Jurgen Bergbauer.

There is a tight consistency and pattern of study or inquiry that appeals to my aesthetic sense and architectural interest which draws me to these wonderfully rich photographic images of Bergbauer’s.  The exploration of natural forms and resulting patterns or “structure” resonates for me in the direction of a “quell the clutter” approach…  Jurgen Bergbauer is an artist that I am to watch for upcoming work for sure….

The medium is the message…

Photolucida – Spring Portfolio Reviews – Portland, Oregon

A quick note regarding Photolucida’s Spring Portfolio Reviews – there are events open  (and free!)  to the public. The Portfolio Walk will be located in the Sunken Ballroom at the Portland Art Museum on Thursday evening (April 23)  from 6-9.

160 participating photographers will be showing their work in three shifts and if your interested try to make time to visit the Portland Art Museum’s open (and did I mention free!)  event.  It’s a great chance to see the work out there first hand and talk to the photographer’s that catch your interest.

On Saturday (April 25th) there is an open gallery walk in the Pearl District – another fine chance to see work and visit hosting galleries – more about the events here on Photolucida’s event calendar… and after that a “Potluck Slide Show” – more on that event here

Must see Jenny Holzer….

Moodtrain capturing a little of the mood of the online folk who browse the NYT… a clever little work by Gabriel Dance, Aron Pilhofer and Andrew Kueneman/The New York Times – this is the stuff of the new

Now what we need now is a phototrain… (oh.. maybe there already is of sorts…)

Difference in results of course evident when certain questions are asked and answered with words compared to certain photographs so tagged “About the Economy”…. Then again… photographs themselves don’t always tell us much to they?  It takes a filter of sorts….
