I have been a little slow to post the street photographer interviews I conducted for my Brooklyn Rail article on this under-appreciated group but, trust me, I’ll get to that soon.
Until then, I want to share this short Facebook conversation (which I edited by excluding other unrelated comments) I had with Loren Munk (aka James Kalm) who posted a must-read article in the same issue of the Brooklyn Rail on the Philip Smith exclusion at the Met’s “Pictures Generation” exhibition earlier this year.
I posted this originally on the hyperallergic Tumblog
That is why I am taking a long hiatus from writing art criticism.
I understand that….so I have to say that the world online is so defused nowadays that I’ve been receiving comments about this post via various platforms, including Facebook & Twitter. I wanted to post one here to contribute to the conversation:
