Even though I said earlier this week that I had posted the last Discussion Topic for the semester, I just wanted to add this to our class blog feed. First, thanks to everyone who has been posting very interesting links to new and old photographers/processes. This week Magnum photographer Alec Soth has embarked on a project with the writer Brad Zellar as part of Magnum’s “Looking for America” project. Magnum was the photo collective formed by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson and others. Soth’s photographs may recall Robert Frank’s photos for The Americans publication. You can follow Soth’s week-long exploration of Ohio from May 17 through May 24 on a tumblr feed:
