In class this week we talked about the differences between “general news” photographs and “documentary” photographs. How...

Henry Wessel video

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has a show on Henry Wessel and KQED has produced a short film of him talking about his work. (“Short” may be relative – it’s just under eight minutes in length.) (You’ll need the RealAudio player, worth it because the quality here is really nice.) Some of his work resonates with me, but...
