Third Floor Photo Society

Hey guys, I found this site today after looking up Dallas Art events, and it looks like this organization will have another convention/auction in December this year, they will be putting out a call to artists sometime in October, but check out the site and see if you're interested, it seems like they mix art auctions and live music shows, so what's not to love? Here's their own description from their site: "the art conspiracy was set up with the following goals in mind: 1. to bring together a group of dallas area artists and musicians to raise money for a chosen benefit. 2. to provide art to the non-gallery attending masses. 3. to help spark awareness of the local arts scene 4. to use historic, under-utilized buildings as art venues"

If you don't go see this show before it ends October 19th, you are crazy, you hear me? CRAZY!!!! Kara Walker's work is insanely cool, everyone should figure out a way to make some time and go see it. You will definitely not be disappointed. Check out all the details at the Ft. Worth Modern site, here. The Museum is free the first Sunday of every month and every Wednesday, so this weekend would be a great time to go.

Brian Ulrich's project Copia shows moments of dehumanization in his subjects through the consumerism that we experience in today's world.

The all-time best way to look at photography online, they had a diverse catalogue of photographers with lots of images. Photography-now

"When I'm photographing my ego is left at the door and I have to keep that in check. I'm the underdog mentally, that's my mentality before every shoot. All the room is filled with the personality that I'm photographing, and the more humble you are the more observant you are. The more arrogant and overconfident you are the more likely you are to lose and miss all the magical details that someone's going to give you visually." - a quote from about 7:50 into the video. He's a great portrait photographer that should be looked at for sure. Platon

I really thought this typology of water bottles Frank Yamrus did was great, especially the text he wrote accompanying it at the Lens Culture Blog . Definitly worth checking out.
