SF Bay Guardian – Bay Area Annual Photo Issue
Friday, August 6th, 2010It was great honor to be featured as one of six “sharp-eyed local visionaries” in the Bay Guardian’s annual photo issue this week. For the article they featured a photo from The Tenderloin Project and asked me to write a little about what the photograph meant to me.
From the issue:
The six photographers showcased in our annual collection of Bay Area visions include a trio of young artists with new visions of portraiture. Cover artist Dean Dempsey mixes realism and artifice to reimagine a personal history involving lost limbs. The photos of Amanda Lopez and Parker Tilghman are supercharged by a love of California and of queer life, respectively. The issue’s other three artists — Seza Bali, Sean Desmond, and Katherine Westerhout — reveal otherwise unseen (and in at least one case, tricky) beauty within the local landscape.
