Link: Ed Kashi: A new book, a new visual perspective | RESOLVE — the liveBooks photo blog:
In Ed Kashi’s new book, THREE, images from his 30 years as a top documentary photographer are combined into triptychs that consciously abandon the idea of context or traditional narrative. Some of those triptychs will be part of a show opening tomorrow at FiftyCrows gallery in San Francisco (founded by liveBooks CEO Andy Patrick), so I thought this would be a good time to talk to Ed about the project. I love the book (that’s my copy getting flipped through) and find his words inspirational. Hope you do too.

Such criticisms should be faced head on, and it’s pretty cowardly that the “hack” does not allow comments on his post so there could be a response to his inflammatory post. As....
Why are you giving this hack’s jealous opinions any attention? Same with the flickr photographer that is quitting photography?.
