From the Project “Somewhere” by Beth Block
I was deeply saddened to learn this morning that Beth Block died over the weekend in a car accident. I spent time with Beth several years ago at PhotoFest, and we have kept in contact intermittently since. Her presence in the photo community will be missed.
We’re in the age of self publication, and a couple of talented photographers are foregoing traditional gallery/publication avenues for sales and offering work direct from the source. First, during my hiatus from blogging, Susanna Raab announced Rank Strangers a self made publication of her work for sale from her “Off Season” series. I immediately bought a copy, and have enjoyed it greatly. At $15, it is an addition to my photo library that I prize over many of the $50 and $60 books I have.
In addition, this morning Liz Kuball announced an edition of 25 copies of the photo above (also featured on Flak Photo) for $20 each. There are as of this writing only 2 left (less than 12 hours after the original announcement), so get on it!
