Jim Goldberg.
I went to see the Jim Goldberg exhibition at the Photographers Gallery in London last week, it was so inspiring. His large format photographs have a beautifully rich quality to them. The image above his from his series from the Ukraine, Goldberg comments; “In Europe, I am an outsider, I don’t really understand anything that I am seeing. I can be welcomed into people’s homes, I can be met with suspicion, I can be taken somewhere else altogether. There is always wonderment there for me, even if the person I am photographing may not see it or be aware of it.” I read an interesting blog post a while ago (I can’t remember where), the jist was that could you really make a substantial and meaningful body of work about a place that you didn’t really know? Well in Goldberg’s case, you certainly can.
