Dear Jiajia,
Jirka tells me that you are curating found images together with Ann Woo for I Heart Photograph. I have so many but only these scanned from the Czech Republic. Found photographs from the time between and before the wars in the Czech Republic were a big influence on the structure of my work that became "Czech Eden" Aperture 2007. Here are a few that closely relate that I have scanned. If you are familiar with the book
I am sure you can see the connections.
Best,
Matthew
I went to Matthew's 'how to work efficiently in the color darkroom and why' class at ICP in 2008 and was hooked with the medium since then.
I remembered his first comment for me was, 'Ann...what are you doing???'
To this day, I still didn't get to thank him properly...
Matthew, thank you very much, your color printing tips were brilliant!
Do you have any more of those??
