blancheanddesire-deactivated201 asked: hi lou! first off, i enjoy your lovely blog posts, wonderful work. i also enjoy your occasional posts of photographs that you enjoy and are not yours; it's always so fun to see what you like and to open up my eyes to other amazing photos as well. i was wondering, besides working with your friends who are also photographers, of all the photographers that you enjoy, who would you want to work with and why?

first off, thanks! 

AND NOW, ON TO ANSWERS!!

Which photographers would I want to work with? Um…none? There are several I’d love to Watch, but I don’t really work With photographers.  We all get together, then go do our own thing, it’s not really a collaborative effort, most of the time. 

I’d love to see a bunch of folks at work: 

  • Annie Liebovitz
  • Autumn De Wilde
  • Traci Matlock & Ashley MacLean
  • Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin
  • Martin Schoeller

All for the same reasons, really.  Those folks fascinate me, the kinds of photos they create, they really get my brain going, trying to figure out how their minds are able to come up with stuff.  Would love to see their brains in action.
