The Sincerest Form of Flattery

Art Institute of Chicago

Here we see Barbara Kruger using my own technique – they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, though I doubt she’s ever seen my work.

Invitation to a Mugging

Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2005

Once again, I find myself without new images so I’ll be dipping into the archives again for a day or two.

And the Band Played On

Band-shell, Central Park, 1975

This is also from a color negative that seemed to be overly warm on the left and overly purple on the right. I have no recollection of who the band was or what the occasion was but the scan was labelled Autumn, 1975.
