I am a huge fan of documentary photography and when it is paired with an artful eye it can be the most powerful of all the mediums. Very seldom do I make editorial statements regarding other artist on this blog. It’s usually more about posting work that moves me followed up with factual information, but Stephanie’s work touches me in a unique way. Some people just have the gift. I had a hard time choosing the right image to post as a highlight to her work. I went with an image from the iPhone series she calls iphoneography. Her body of work is diverse and it’s power is consistency. The compositions are gorgeous. She has the eye of a painter and the viewfinder is her canvas. I find the images to be emotionally rich and extremely moving…
Take a look, decide for yourself.

love-pictures is an online gallery and archive curated by Will Mebane and Scott Tolmie. The site serves as a space to celebrate found and taken photographs that are experienced as much by the heart as by the head.

The inaugural portfolio is selected from Scott’s archive of over 4500 found photographs, and is the product of almost 40 years of collecting. Thirty of Scott’s found photographs were featured in the 1998 exhibition at SFMOMA, Snapshots, the Photography of Everyday Life, curated by Douglas R. Nickel.
A catalogue of the same title was published by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Fourteen of Scott’s found photographs reside in the permanent collection of the SFMOMA.

Henry Wessel

“Oklahoma” (1975) San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

Henry Wessel, Jr. (born 1942 in Teaneck, New Jersey) is an American photographer noted for his descriptive, yet poetic photographs of the human environment. Wessel earned a B.A. degree from Pennsylvania State University in 1966 and an M.F.A. degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1972. Before graduating with his M.F.A., in 1971, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation awarded Wessel a fellowship and, one year later, the Museum of Modern Art exhibited his photographs. Currently, Wessel is on faculty in the photography department of San Francisco Art Institute.
