Wednesday

I want to stretch photos printed on fabric or kozo paper over a wood frame. Is this possible?...I guess I'll just have to test it.

I liked the short video on Jeff Wall. I hate his photo "The Flooded Grave," but I really like basically every other photo of his. I tend to like photos that are cinematic, dramatic, staged - and his are also a complete lie with his method of digital manipulation...constructing an image on a computer, like painters construct an image on canvas...which challenges the history of photography as documentary and truthful. His photos are somewhere between painting and photo collage, with subjects staged in normal and abnormal cinematic moments...always nightmarish.

Time to go print.
