NY PHOTO CURATOR: GLOBAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS

SELF-CONSCIOUS, curated by Frances Jakubek

“As I look at the images together, I notice each photograph has a counterpart, a double of some kind. James Kuan’s sliver of a self-portrait vibrates in the blank space of the diptych by Joseph Caster. There is a strong desire to peer in closer and as I succeed, I feel my own fearful nature come to light in this open, interpretive space.”

A PHOTO EDITOR

The Best Work I Saw at the Filter Photo Festival: Part 3

“I always make sure to do a quick visit at a festival’s portfolio walk, (always,) because I ALWAYS find cool stuff to show you from people I would not otherwise meet. In this case, I learned that James is a surgeon based in Seattle, and has studied at PCNW. This project, about identity, is all about cutting and pasting. Slicing and replacing. Cool stuff, and I’m sure you’ll like it.” - Jonathan Blaustein
