Andrew Kaiser

Terrific work by American photographer Andrew Kaiser. It's not often these days that you see a photographer working so confidently across so many mediums, but he seems equally comfortable in b/w, colour, film, digital, polaroid and pinhole.

Jaime Ibarra

Hallucinatory, dream-like work by photographer Jaime Ibarra.

(Update: Jaime Ibarra is actually a Spanish/Australian photographer currently residing in the U.S.) Thanks to the artist and Rita in the comments section for the correction.

Why I buy garage sale photos...

OK, this is off topic, but as a chronic purchaser of old photos and negs at garage sales and second hand shops, I love this story.

FSC Challenges 2257 and 2257A in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia

Here's a big shout out of congratulations to the Free Speech Coalition for tackling a HUGE issue that has become a bitter fact of life for our American photographic compatriots. Specifically, the dreaded 2557 and 2557a legislation.

If you aren't familiar with the 2557 saga, photographer Dave Levingston who sent in this link and who describes himself as one of the "et al" named in the suit, describes it thusly:

In short this clearly unconstitutional law violates the guarantee of free speech contained in the Bill of Rights by making it a felony to fail to follow obscure, complicated and unclear procedures for record keeping for many types of completely legal photographs…and other forms of artistic expression such as painting and drawing. That’s right, it’s not just about photography. The idea behind this law appears to be to make it so impossible to follow the law that people will stop producing perfectly legal art work and at the same time make it possible for the government to pretty much charge anyone whose work they don’t like with a felony. Conviction can result in a 5-year prison sentence and designation as a sex offender.

The law requires that you keep detailed, cross-referenced records of all the models you work with for those images. You also must publish a statement of where those records are maintained with each publication (including on the web) of any of those images. And those records must be available for unannounced inspection by federal agents at least 20 hours a week, every week. That’s right, if you maintain the records yourself you not only must publish your address, but you also can never go on vacation because you have to be there 20 hours every week in case an inspector wants to visit unannounced. Oh…and during that inspection they are permitted to look around for anything that they might consider a violation of any law, not just 2257A. So you have effectively given up your constitutional protection against warrantless searches.

Spain Special

Last week I mentioned my recent trip to Barcelona and asked for your suggestions for Spanish (and/or Catalan) photographers. Readers, Phillipe at photofloue.net and Chris Triance-Martin answered the call with some great links, so today we have our first nation specific "theme" day of posting here at Art Nudes.

Welcome to our Special Spain Saturday!

Gomez Molina

Frank and unflinching nude portraits by the late Spanish multidisciplinary artist Gomez Molina. This is not what I'd call a user-friendly website, but take some time to explore his other photography galleries at least. There's some excellent work to be found.
