“I’m not attached to any particular subject, which is unusual for a photographer. What holds my work together is the way I see and the fact that I use very simple equipment. I still photograph the same way, technically, that I started with in 1957, with a small camera and black-and-white film. I carry my camera with me all the time. When I see something that moves me or interests me, I take a picture. I don’t care what it’s a picture of.”

And there’s this: “Media seeking credentials to review or photograph performances at the festival must submit their request in writing on media letterhead to dcase@cityofchicago.org. Requests must include whether credential is regular press or photo, indicate the date or dates and provide phone and email contacts. Note: Some artists require approval, and some dictate how many songs may be photographed.”
“I’d been studying the microphone for a dozen years, and I suddenly saw what I’d been doing wrong. I’d been singing too loud. One night I was listening to a record by Lester Young, the horn player, and it came to me. Relax, just relax. It’s all going to be all right.”
“That’s what I recommend.”
You may even discover who made the last image on the poster.
Heck, we’ve been avoiding cell phones in our street shooting; now, once again, Mr. Friedlander owns a meme. Click on http://elleryeskelin.blogspot.com.ar/2015/04/spring-2015.html and scroll down a bit. I agree that he disagrees with a point in the mostly OK article (with its flimsy premise and cliches). Read it mostly for the pictures: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/26/magazine/lee-friedlander-captures-the-citys-hustle-and-flow.html?_r=0 
We love this guy’s work; the sensibility seems to fall somewhere between Lee Friedlander’s and Martin Parr’s.

Not atypically, this got posted about a week later than it should have been, and Time Magazine scooped us, but since our respective readerships don’t overlap significantly, here’s a link to that item: http://time.com/3819762/lars-tunbjork-obituary/
