covers / some spreads ~ from my 2019 Year in Review photo book - all pictures (embiggenable)
WHILE WRITING THE state or the medium and its apparatus entry (ongoing), it occurred to me that I had yet to make a 2019 Year in Review (of my work) photobook. So, I set the entry writing aside and spent a couple days editing out my favorites from last year and assembling them into a book.
Along the way, I thought it necessary to pick one of those pictures as my "best" picture of 2019. As I was working on identifying that treasure, it seemed that I would have to have 2 categories of "best". One "best" based on art considerations. One "best" based on referent, personally affecting, considerations.
As it turns out, and with virtually no mucking about in my archives, one picture came to mind that satisfied both category requirements. A picture which might actually be my all-time best (or, at the very least, my all-time favorite)....
.... a picture of the wife made in the Art Institute of Chicago presented in my snapshot format as framed art on the wall of the AIoC.
FYI I am searching for a online photo bookmaker that allows individuals to purchase books directly from the site. Just in case anyone might be interested in seeing the picture quality that can be had with the use of the iPhone 1 PRO MAX / 7 Plus.
