“Larry Sultan, a highly influential California photographer whose 1977 collaboration, “Evidence” — a book made up solely of pictures culled from vast industrial and government archives — became a watershed in the history of art photography, died on Sunday at his home in Greenbrae, Calif. He was 63.” taken from the New York Times

It is difficult to write something thoughtful about someone or something that you know so little about – obviously. But it is startling when people like Larry Sultan pass away at such a young age (63.) As I have learned more and more about photography Sultan’s name was a reoccurring one.

I am still trying to make sense of all of the photos that I made in Vietnam. The dozens of contact sheets and scans have been helpful but it is still all a mess. I have the impulse to try to force these photos through some sort of intellectual process, some sort of “what do they mean? what are they saying?” type deal. This must be the liberal arts/studio art degree hang over. Is there anything wrong with making some pretty pictures while you travel? Of course not. But as a photographer struggling to find my voice, I am still trying to say something with my work. I think the best idea would be to just relax and make some beautiful photos for now. These photos, more or less, describe an experience and an over all feeling that I witnessed on my travels. I hope that they can at least have some sort effect on the viewer that elicits the same sense of discovery and beauty that I found while traveling in Vietnam. I will let you people decide.
The end result for theses will be a small edition of small self printed books. I have a lot of work to do and I just want to finish it and move on.
Here are some raw scans of the work that I am doing:
