Somewhere in the virtual world, I came across The Point, a new Blurb book that is the collaborative effort of Kirk Crippens and Michael Jang. I’m a big fan of both photographers, and I love the idea of working apart and together to create a significant project.

Museum Director James Pearson of the Southeast Museum of Photography has created a significant exhibition focused on the most important issue of our time. This is Climate Change features the projects of three photographers: Kirk Crippens, Sharon Harper, and Benjamin Dimmitt and it runs through October 26, 2019 with a Reception, including a panel talk by the photographers and a book signing by Kirk Crippens: October 3, 2019 5:00 PM. The fascinating perspective taken by the Director is to explore climate change not as a primary element of the composition, but as a now inescapable feature of landscape photography.

Kirk Crippens: Portraitlandia
Kirk Crippens: Portraitlandia
I said a few months ago that I think Kirk Crippens sleeps with a camera, or simply doesn’t sleep at all. Today I feature his new body of work, Portraitlandia , as evidence that the above statement is true. This year he has enjoyed artist residencies at R
On hearing news reports of John Brennan, the PDX naked airport protestor, I started thinking about a view camera project photographing interesting Portlanders. I began gradually piecing together a list of people: Tres Shannon III, founder of Voodoo Doughnuts, former Mayor Sam Adams, and eccentric millionaire John McAfee, though he was new to town. I wanted a diverse and representative group, so I also sought participants who were not as well known but who could represent a part of the city: a mail carrier, a mechanic, and a nun.

How Do You Photograph A City’s Bankruptcy?
How Do You Photograph A City’s Bankruptcy?
Before Detroit, there was Stockton, Calif. Kirk Crippens says you can’t photograph bankruptcy, but that hasn’t stopped him from trying.

Photographer Kirk Crippens says you can’t. But that hasn’t stopped him from trying. Since 2009, he has been documenting the city of Stockton, Calif., which last year became the largest city in American history to file for bankruptcy — until Detroit filed yesterday.

The Dealership Wreck: I never noticed the monolithic deserted auto dealerships alongside the freeway until recently, when I began to notice empty dealerships everywhere I traveled. I researched the phenomenon and discovered that since 2009, over 2,300 auto dealerships in America were shuttered. The closings, which happened largely as a result of the US government’s auto industry bailout and restructuring, caused thousands of industry workers to lose their jobs and put 70 million square feet of commercial real estate on the market.
