Found at Fotofest 2014


I've been attending the latest Fotofest open portfolios here in Houston the past couple of weeks. There are a lot of photographers here hoping to make an impression on their reviewers with their work.  I've attended 3 portfolio reviews at Fotofest myself in years past.  The open portfolio nights are a chance for the photographers to show their work to the public.

In 2010 I saw the work of Carolle Benitah.  She was sewing on photos of her family. These are photos from her body of work that Lens Culture gave her an award for in 2010.

Chema Madoz

Chema Madoz  is a Spanish photographer born in 1958.  He is known for his dramatic black and white surrealist work.

I am not writing about him because I think he has copied my work. Many artists use the book as their subjects and his photographs are very different from mine.

  I have found photographs from an Israeli photographer that are very similar to Madoz.

THIS IS NOT MY WORK


Ellen Cantor Photograph 2013.  Not a new idea at this time.  Check her website.  I believe her statement sounds vaguely familiar.  I think that possilby her forte appears to be more in the moldy food genre. 

The Photos below are Mine from 2011. They were exhibited at Desantos Gallery for Fotofest 2012.

Doug Keyes Imitation!

Doug Keyes is know for his multiple exposures of books and other subjects.  His works are sophisticated and thoughtful. His photographs can be viewed online and at KLOMPCHING Gallery
The first record that I have found of his book photos is from 2001.






Ellen Cantor is arriving a little late to the book ideas that Doug has been exploring for quite some time now.  This is some of her work from 2013.
