I posted this back in 2010 and have reposted it just as a hook to write about "The Radical Eye" exhibition at Tate Modern in London that we visited at the weekend. This is a selection of b&w photos from Elton John's massive collection. It was simply stunning. There were a few documentary photos including Dorothea Lange's iconic "Migrant Mother" but most were "art" photos including lots by Man Ray and other well known names. I suppose this is my attempt to do something similar.
The exhibition is well worth a visit if you are in London and worth googling if you are not.
One question I have and would welcome any answers is in what sense does EJ "own" the photos given that the original negatives could have produced hundreds of copies?
my work was published on the magazine "Digital Studio".
