Re: CALLING ALL PHOTO EDUCATORS: WAY OT

[Barry Kleider <bkleider@sihope.com>]

Hi, Bob!

Your query is a good one, and not nearly so OT as some I've seen on this 
list. (I'm donating a dollar to charity for every 'yea' I hear to that one.)

I was thinking about this the other day -- feeling like it's been a 
loooong time since I actually formulated a list of who was doing 
original and noteworthy work that actually changed the character of the 
medium or set new directions.

I go to photo and other visual art openings once or twice a month. I 
consider it part of my job as an artist and teacher. I look at stuff 
online too. I know I'm not the only one who does that. There's some 
wonderful work out there ( and some same day same stuff....)

Who and what actually breaks the mold?

Please share the list of submissions -- and your pick for top five.

Barry
