Interesting, Elsewhere

Chucky - Knock Out by Alison Grippo

Alison Grippo participated in the first ever Magnum Portfolio Reviews. She met with Mark Power, David Alan Harvey and Chris Anderson. Getting the lowdown from her over IM immediately afterwards was pretty great, her blog post about it is the next best thing:

The experience made me feel normal, like what I was doing was the way to do it. That everything you do to create something is the right way to create it. You can make it better, you can “bust it open”, you can constantly revise and revisit but your process is your process and it’s how it should be. That part of this is about just being honest, simple, curious, and sincere - and that creates not just good work, but a better self.

Meanwhile, over on the jb blog, Jörg and I are posting about portraiture. My contribution today is A Picture of the Space Between Us, in which Alec Soth (who I hear also did a great job at the Magnum reviews) does most of the talking, on video.
