Long entries around the Web

It's been a while since I've been able to venture out to the galleries. Aiming to sneak away this weekend and see something. Perhaps that's why I have been stuck on short little posts. Not the case elsewhere.

Robert over at Coincidences has been burning up the keyboard with a variety of great posts on a whole slew of up-and-coming photographers, as well as discussing the mix of commercial and fine art sensibilities. Also a good post on the death (and life) of Richard Avedon, including links to the major obituaries.

Stacy Oborn's blog, the space between, has a nice post on Masahisa Fukase and how personal experiences are expressed through photographic themes. I had the opportunity to see some of Fukase's "ravens" pictures at the Victoria & Albert Museum in late 2001, unfortunately before I knew what I was looking at.
