Slow down

May 30, 2008

I’m conflicted to report that I will be dialing the Blog way down for the summer as I’ve just been booked into a long term contract. But don’t worry, I’ve got contributions lined up and a few bigger pieces I’ll be working on, albeit slowly, over the next few months. I’ll aim for two or [...]

Interactivity

May 29, 2008

I got an email from Westside yesterday encouraging me to play Art Director at Clay Stang’s site. What fun! Like some rudimentary cross between consumer generated content and video game, the visitor to Clay’s site gets to vote on a series of locations, actions, props and expressions. Once a month, Clay will shoot the most [...]

Art & Commerce Part III: Artfulness Redux

May 27, 2008

So a couple of weeks ago I wrote a post on some of my thoughts on “Artfulness”. It provoked an interesting response as always, including a comment from anonymous Ben Dover who critiqued my selection of photographers based on fairly specific criteria: While I strive to admire the ‘artfulness’ of the images, I’m more than [...]

A bit of Eye Candy for Monday. Last week, Liz Ikiriko was the inaugural guest (and initiator) for my new feature 10+. One of [...]

May 23, 2008

10+ is a new, but hopefully regular, feature on this Blog. It’s a list of ten things that interesting people like. Inspiration from photo-related people.

Tim Roda Trajectory

May 22, 2008

There’s been lots of talk in the Blogosphere about Roger Ballen’s bewitching speech at the New York Photo Fest extravaganza. If there was only one reason I’m sorry I missed the festival this would be it (and Tim Barber’s show, by all accounts, would not). Roger’s work is so magical and scary. Let’s consider this [...]

Ask an Art Buyer: Usage

May 21, 2008

Wednesday is Ask an Art Buyer day. Send your questions to heather@heathermorton.ca with the subject line Ask an Art Buyer. I’ll answer as many as I can every Wednesday.
