Much of the material therein came from my columns in the New York Times from 1970-74, so I was interested to read your detailed analysis of recent coverage of photography in the Times in the next day's blog entry. Given the explosion of photographic activity since I opened the Times' pages to photo criticism in 1970, their coverage of the medium clearly hasn't kept pace.<BR/><BR/>It might interest you (and some of your younger readers) to know that I've continued to write and publish since Light Readings came out. There are four other volumes of my essays out, as well as other books. I maintain the longest-running website of any of my colleagues (it made its debut in 1995): C: the Speed of Light, at http://photocritic.com. It's not a blog, but I post reports on my activities 5 times per year in that space, and have a large and growing selection of my writings archived there as well.<BR/><BR/>Presently, as previously, I work as an independent critic, historian, and lecturer specializing in photography and photo-based art. Since 2005, exhibitions I have curated have opened in China, Finland, Italy, Rumania, Slovakia, and the U.S. In the past few years I've concentrated much of my attention on China.<BR/><BR/>Godd luck with the blog, and with your collection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
