My wife and I were in San Francisco for a few days， and we spent a half-day in the Museum of Modern Art （MOMA）。 One of the exhibits was a sampling of Joel Sternfeld's photos from his Stranger Passing collection。 I was so taken by them that I ordered a copy of Stranger Passing before I returned home。 The entire collection grabbed my attention as much as the few I had seen at MOMA。 I found myself imagining the lives of the individuals in the collection， their lives leading up to the photo being ta My wife and I were in San Francisco for a few days， and we spent a half-day in the Museum of Modern Art （MOMA）。 One of the exhibits was a sampling of Joel Sternfeld's photos from his Stranger Passing collection。 I was so taken by them that I ordered a copy of Stranger Passing before I returned home。 The entire collection grabbed my attention as much as the few I had seen at MOMA。 I found myself imagining the lives of the individuals in the collection， their lives leading up to the photo being taken and their lives since the photo。 Were their true stories more or less intriguing than the possibilities I found myself considering？ 。。。more

Another wonderful collection by Joel Sternberg， later in time than the other 2 I've been looking at。These are all posed --also interesting， but maybe less so than the other photo books。I'm adding his books to Goodreads today， but will probably keep around to look at more before returning to the library。 Another wonderful collection by Joel Sternberg， later in time than the other 2 I've been looking at。These are all posed --also interesting， but maybe less so than the other photo books。I'm adding his books to Goodreads today， but will probably keep around to look at more before returning to the library。 。。。more

Ritratti di sconosciuti realizzati per le strade degli USA principalmente negli anni '90。Le immagini sono di una bellezza， una ricchezza di dettagli e un controllo della composizione stupefacenti， tanto da renderle spesso fredde nella loro perfezione。 Ma oltre alle qualità di forme， colori e riferimenti pittorici mentre le si guarda non è possibile evitare di pensare ad altro: i tratti di un'America fiera e individualista intanto， e poi le differenze che separano queste persone， oppure le simili Ritratti di sconosciuti realizzati per le strade degli USA principalmente negli anni '90。Le immagini sono di una bellezza， una ricchezza di dettagli e un controllo della composizione stupefacenti， tanto da renderle spesso fredde nella loro perfezione。 Ma oltre alle qualità di forme， colori e riferimenti pittorici mentre le si guarda non è possibile evitare di pensare ad altro: i tratti di un'America fiera e individualista intanto， e poi le differenze che separano queste persone， oppure le similitudini che le avvicinano tutte in quanto esseri umani。Ed è difficile non farsi trapassare dallo sguardo dell'avvocato con i vestiti da portare in lavanderia， della donna che si toglie i pattini per andare a un incontro di lavoro， di una contadina in pausa o dallo sguardo ammiccante di una turista a un caffè di New York。 。。。more

Random-seeming portraits of people around the country， doing whatever it is they were doing: shopping， sitting， buying gas， nursing a child。 The individual photos didn't make an impression on me， but collectively it's a portrait of America。 All the subjects retain a certain dignity， even the shopping cart wrangler。 Random-seeming portraits of people around the country， doing whatever it is they were doing: shopping， sitting， buying gas， nursing a child。 The individual photos didn't make an impression on me， but collectively it's a portrait of America。 All the subjects retain a certain dignity， even the shopping cart wrangler。 。。。more

Most of the portraits didn't do much for me， even after repeat viewings。 I realize Sternfeld was making an effort to document the ordinary， but much was too ordinary。 The images hit their stride perhaps three quarters through， and there are some winning shots。 Perhaps a few I'd consider excellent， but it's just not enough。 Most of the portraits didn't do much for me， even after repeat viewings。 I realize Sternfeld was making an effort to document the ordinary， but much was too ordinary。 The images hit their stride perhaps three quarters through， and there are some winning shots。 Perhaps a few I'd consider excellent， but it's just not enough。 。。。more

Sternfeld's portraits are somewhat unnerving， most of the time。 They are intriguing though， and as a photographer， I find myself trying to imagine how these were taken。 What were the circumstances of "the ask" and how long did Sternfeld spend with the subjects。 Did he ask them to pose in a certain way？ These will require revisiting。 Sternfeld's portraits are somewhat unnerving， most of the time。 They are intriguing though， and as a photographer， I find myself trying to imagine how these were taken。 What were the circumstances of "the ask" and how long did Sternfeld spend with the subjects。 Did he ask them to pose in a certain way？ These will require revisiting。 。。。more
