Nothing
“… For the past number of years I’ve been enmeshed and engaged by shooting projects. Not too interested in just snapping away, not too interested in the idea that’s gained a lot of currency these days (iPhone, Hipstamatic, Instagram), that the best camera is the one you have on you. Shoot some boring thing, run it through a filter and post that sucker. Don’t worry too much if it sucks or is just plain mundane because it’ll soon be replaced by another…” From the 18 March 2012 blog /drool of Tony Fouhse entitled “Nothing”
Since Pete Brooke at Prison Photography recommended taking a look at Tony Fouhse photography, I have been following his work on two amazing long term projects: “USER” and “Live Through This”.
Today on /drool he announced a new project with a few thoughts on why he choose “Nothing” as the subject. The pulled quote opening up this post is from those thoughts and so perfectly said what I’ve been feeling for some time that I had to pass it along.
