First off, I apologize for the late post. I caught influenza this weekend and was feeling too horrible to write a post yesterday.
I remember the first time I saw the photographs made by this husband and wife duo. I was at the Newport, Rhode Island Society for Photographic Education national conference, and there was a show of their work in one of the local galleries. I remember not liking the work at all. I liked the aesthetics of the process they were using (photogravure) but I didn’t like the subject matter, or concept. Probably because it was some of the first conceptual photography I had seen, and didn’t quite “get” it. Over the years though, their work has really grown on me and they are among my top favorite photographers.
Featuring the “everyman,” (who is Robert himself) the photographs depict a man trying to repair the damage done to the land.
Their latest work is all in color and I find it even more enjoyable than the monochrome photogravures.

I cannot believe I’ve been so out of the loop. So excited to find such a site.
