I Do Believe I Hear The Aspens Calling

The eastern Sierra aspens, that is. More later… :-)

John Szarkowski, Curator of Photography, Dies at 81

From the New York Times:

In the early 1960’s, when Mr. Szarkowski… began his curatorial career, photography was commonly perceived as a utilitarian medium, a means to document the world. Perhaps more than anyone, Mr. Szarkowski changed that perception. For him, the photograph was a form of expression as potent and meaningful as any work of art, and as director of photography at the Modern for almost three decades, beginning in 1962, he was perhaps its most impassioned advocate. Two of his books, “The Photographer’s Eye,” (1964) and “Looking at Photographs: 100 Pictures From the Collection of the Museum of Modern Art” (1973), remain syllabus staples in art history programs.

I’m Flipping the Hosting Switch…

I’m switching over to an alternate hosting provider… tonight. Some notes about this process and what may happen over the next few days.

  1. This site will likely disappear for as long as a few days – but it will return.
  2. It is possible that a partially functional version of the site will come up first.
  3. The alternate site will continue to run during this time: http://gdanmitchellphotography.blogspot.com/
  4. There may also be problems with email – on a temporary basis you can use my gmail account at gdanmitchell [at] gmail.com.

Thanks for your patience, and watch for the new version of the site to begin taking shape soon.
