We were discussing Elijah Gowin and his photographer father Emmet. (Tricia I know you know of them well)
I find it interesting to think about the context of the images, fragility of the environment, threat of technology, reality of photography... and look at the work of Elijah and then the work of Emmet (or vise versa). They have similar roots but there are very interesting differences, generational differences. We are pretty much the generation after Elijah.. so lets see.

gabby, you missed their talk jan 30! its true, i do know a bit about both father and son and enjoy both their work. i had not seen elijah's new stuff until you told me about it. emmet's new work is pretty interesting too! looks like both are going photo-montage. some digital. some alt process. all really fascinating. changes, changes, changes.,
