Found this thread in a forum while googleing myself the other day. It’s interesting to read discussions like that about your own work and YES it should never be the intention to be everybody’s darling ;-)

Street Art in the neighbourhood by the mighty Mark Jenkins.
I discovered Rosalind Solomon’s book Chapalingas recently, which is a 460 page retrospective of the American photographer who started taking pictures not before the age of 38. The 200 images are in the most part portraits in a very intense and poetic documentary style. They were taken all over the word, different cultures, different decades and contexts but always middle format, 6×6 in black and white. The straight line in technique gives the book a clear thread while crossing all boundaries at the same time. A very impressing book by a very impressing artist.
There is a selection of her work on her official website and there are interesting interviews on americansuburbx.com and 2point8.
My dear friend Thomas Lobenwein who once when he was young ran this blog with me is having another exhibition in Berlin showing his Wrestlers series. See you at the opening at KOOKArt this Thursday!
