Classic Feature - John Divola, Vandalism Series
Taken between 1973 and 1975, native son John Divola'sVandalism series in which he manipulates abandoned houses is truly excellent. Anyone else think Mr. Ballen might have seen these early on and been inspired?
There's an interview regarding the series under "Artist Statements & Reviews" on his website.
The idea behind this blog is driven by my perceived lack of community for photographers and enthusiasts in Los Angeles. The photography scene seems quite fragmented compared to New York, which is where the title comes from. New Yorkers are blessed with an established community and resources that us Angelenos are just going to have to create for ourselves. I hope for this blog to become a way for us to do just that - network, keep up to date on photo related happenings, and grow our community into one that promotes photography in the region. After all, we can shoot too.
