Gone and Forgotten


Albus & Fergie World Headquarters contains a few hundred photobooks collected over the years. No overt rhyme or reason for acquiring a particular volume, just stuff that catches my eye at the time. Not kept in any particular order, either, unsurprisingly, which can sometimes be a problem. On the positive side, though, random encounters with old photographers happens pretty often. The other day, for instance, I came across a copy of "American Horizons", work by Art Sinsabaugh. Well-respected in his time, professor at a large midwestern university, more or less forgotten these days as far as I can tell. Most of the so-called "landscape photography" I see these days seems like it has more to do with Bob Ross than it does with Art Sinsabaugh anyway.
