Robin Bowman
In 2001, Robin Bowman set out on the first of eight car trips that would eventually take place over five years. While driving across the country, she formally photographed and interviewed 419 teenagers. These searing and intimate contemporary photographs, presented alongside the young people’s own voices of passion, pride, embarrassment, lust, dread, pain, anxiety, instability and rage, are drawn together in her award-winning book It’s Complicated: The American Teenager which charts the coming of age of the largest generation in U.S. history.
This body of work is currently on view at spring until June 9th — read more about the exhibition here.

Congratulations to Jessica Eaton — she was recently awarded the grand prize in photography for the 2012 Hyères awards.
“The series Cubes for Albers and LeWitt explores the possibilities of manipulating time, space, perception and, in particular, the additive system of colour. The images from this series are constructed onto single sheets of 4 x 5 film. The subject in reality is monochromatic. The photographs use a set of cubes and ground options painted white, two tones of grey, and black.
Through multiple exposures the colour hues in each image have been made by exposing the film to the additive primaries of red, green and blue. The reflective value of the cubes controls the value or lightness of that hue, and the black is utilised as a type of reflective mask, holding potential on the film for other exposures.
As the title suggests, there is a nod to Josef Albers and his impressive studies of the subtractive systems of colour, and to Sol LeWitt for his notes on Conceptual Art. LeWitt serves as an example of modular systems to reduce a subject while heightening conceptual meaning. These images are completely photographic and not visible to the naked eye. Photographically my main reference not mentioned in the series title is Ansel Adams and his thoughts about visualisation in photography and the potential of the zone system.”
Social media—from Facebook to Twitter—have made us more densely networked than ever. Yet for all this connectivity, new research suggests that we have never been lonelier (or more narcissistic)—and that this loneliness is making us mentally and physically ill. A report on what the epidemic of loneliness is doing to our souls and our society.

He is a very great source of inspiration.
