The Daily F’log » Blog Archive

From colorstalker

New blogs are as plentiful these days as grains of sand on the beach, but a new blog about photography that’s smart, provocative, and well-informed–well, there are lots of those too! But make room for another one, by a longtime Fotologger: Tim Connor, aka colorstalker, has just launched his own eponymous blog, with posts about Jeff Wall and his new MoMA retrospective (sparking very interesting discussions about the “hunted image vs. the contrived image” and what drives the art market) and his favorite photographer, Robert Frank. As you can see from his Fotolog archive, Tim’s a fantastic photographer, at once analytical and instinctual, and he invests those tendencies in his writing too, which he’s been producing in one form or another—criticism, reportage, fiction—for more than thirty years. He wrote the appreciation of mashuga’s work that appeared here on the F’log in November.

What I like best about Tim’s approach is that he always makes sure he’s writing from the gut. He’s said about his photography, “I go toward what attracts me and photograph it as directly as possible,” and the same holds true for his criticism and comments. But that simplicity never prevents him from taking on the difficult subjects or hard-to-define facets of an argument. Tim almost always succeeds at getting to the heart of the matter: identifying that elephant in the room that everyone else is hesitant to talk about. I’m excited to drop in on that conversation regularly—I hope you will be too.
