I have some free time in the next couple of weeks and I could make a LOT of comments. With a handful of other dedicated "commenters" could we turn this?Binbazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222220838114428434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331321633387292810.post-60873958749842559172011-05-11T02:58:12.552-07:002011-05-11T02:58:12.552-07:00Did you ever consider that race is not an issue at...Did you ever consider that race is not an issue at Foam? There's a Korean photographer in the current issue of Foam Magazine. In the recent expert meeting Richard Hsu, born in Shanghai, was a guest. They've also worked with people like Ahmet Polat and Malick Sidibé.<br /><br />Besides, I think they get tons of questions. There's a bit of luck involved as well.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03273015903744714325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331321633387292810.post-18301654678771540192011-05-11T02:38:14.000-07:002011-05-11T02:38:14.000-07:00I think your question at Foam is really important....I think your question at Foam is really important. The answer however is not about photography. Photography, as art, in the western world is part of an art market and markets are usually run by the rich whites... Photography reflects the society, and this is how society is unfortunately...<br />Recently, with the new interest in humanism, you can actually see a great interest in "Black, Asian, and Hispanic" photography. It is all around in festivals and galleries. But, who is promoting that and why? I think that the market still sees that kind of photography as "other" and it seems that the western photographic elite instead of enjoying the "other" photographed by them, they just enjoy it photographed by the "other", which makes them feel less guilty...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
