Went to this on Saturday afternoon. Absolutely blew me away.

Makes me wish I still lived in NYC. Very cool what was shared on line. The home made camera is amazing. Makes me think a lot about even as bad as it might be right now we are still very luck here in the US, VERY LUCKY.

If anyone is coming to NY while it's still going, I found it much more enthralling than the HCB at the MOMA (or the Surrealist exhibit also at ICP, which are both also good). Many would say that it's crappy prints by a vagrant with a voyeuristic fetish for young girls in bathing suits and that wouldn't be at all wrong. But man what incredible crappy prints.

The documentary film that accompanies it is well worth seeing. One of the concerns with displaying his work and cameras was the contamination of other art by the bugs that were living in some of them.

That's an absolutely terrific piece of criticism. Many thanks for the link, FPjohn.

Good post John, that was a long article, almost worth reading all of it.
