Alec Soth: Asked and Answered

I’ve developed a little writing sideline to keep me busy in my copious free time. Back in April I wrote about art for everyone in GOOD Magazine, which was followed by a review of Where We Live, both the Getty exhibition and its accompanying book, in the Summer issue of photo-eye Booklist.

My most recent journalistic endeavor is an interview with the brooding, complex and reclusive Alec Soth in the Fall Issue of Booklist. We discuss his edition of Magnum’s Fashion Magazine and its chi-chi Paris debut at length and touch upon other provocative subjects like nerds, sweatshirts, champagne and Where’s Waldo.
