'That Taylor continued to identify himself as a painter until the end of his life is one contradiction among many. While he concentrated on painting at the Kansas City Art Institute, graduating in 1970 after stints at the Yale Summer School (where he studied with Mel Bochner, Robert Mangold, and Robert Moskowitz) and the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Studio Program, his reputation rests on an oeuvre consisting almost entirely of drawings and found-object sculptures.' http://hyperallergic.com/362969/al-taylor-early-paintings-david-zwirner-2017/

A Magazine Named for a Visa Gathers the Work of Foreign Artists in the US
"To artist Jenny Hung, the O-1 application “makes apparent a system whereby an artist’s work is not considered to be in existence — no matter how extraordinary it is — until it’s been written about and rendered in a published format.” So, to make very visible and celebrate the creations of immigrants who may not have had major exposure, she recently launched a publication of her own: O1, a serial magazine that features works by foreign-born artists living in the US, many of whom have struggled with the complexities and stresses of the O-1 application." http://hyperallergic.com/361488/a-magazine-named-for-a-visa-gathers-the-work-of-foreign-artists-in-the-us/
Low-Cost Photography, or: The Slow Death of the Industry
If the big photographic companies don't support photographers what is to become of the industry? Very poor form from Kodak. Its the same sort of argument in the art world regarding artist being paid for their labour... https://petapixel.com/2017/02/15/low-cost-photography-slow-death-industry/

How Do Working Artists Live?
"Anyone who’s chosen to live a creative lifestyle — not just artists — knows what it means to worry. Rather than gun for the safety of a monthly paycheck, most of us (this writer included) have to find a way to put food on the table, without sacrificing our proverbial souls. It’s dodgy terrain to traverse. I often find myself wondering how others manage it." http://hyperallergic.com/94192/how-do-working-artists-live/
Think you can’t create? Just open your eyes
This is a really great read! "For Anson, drawing underpins everything, “whether you’re an architect, graphic designer or fashion designer”. But there are common mistakes amateur artists make. “I think all the things people worry about, they really shouldn’t,” he says. “Like what style am I painting in? What canvas should I use? What paint?” " http://www.telegraph.co.uk/wellbeing/mood-and-mind/think-cant-create-just-open-eyes/

How to Practice Contemplative Photography
"There are two ways of seeing, and they perceive different types of objects. For simplicity’s sake, let’s call these sensory seeing and conceptual seeing. Sensory seeing perceives things that appear to our senses, and conceptual seeing perceives things that appear to the mind’s eye." https://www.lionsroar.com/how-to-practice-contemplative-photography/
