I happened across an old episode of Art:21 on PBS this morning, and enjoyed a short feature on Robert Adams. The website has quite a few video clips, slideshows, and an interview with Adams.

If you are unfamiliar with the work Robert Adams, I can’t recommend his book of photographs The New West highly enough, it is one of my all-time favorite books of photography. His book of essays Beauty in Photography is a must read, too.

Bonus: Sally Mann and Hiroshi Sugimoto on Art:21. Seeing Sally Mann with her collodion plates and Sugimoto in his studio making pictures of fossils just made my day.

Just as I am about to begin my own journey into the world of platinum-palladium printing, this gorgeous image arrived in my email inbox courtesy of 20×200.

Clearing, Wakehurst Place, by Beth Dow

I have been a fan of Beth Dow’s work for quite some time now, especially her “In the Garden” series, and always promised myself I would scoop up a medium sized print if one became available on 20×200. (Her originals are a bit out of my price range for now). Well today was the day, and all three editions sold out quite quickly, but I managed to get my order in and will give this print a good home.
