ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Alec Soth

 Facebook. Menlo Park, California © Alec Soth.

One of the qualities I most admire in the brilliant photographs of Alec Soth is his ability to not only portray, but embrace awkwardness without exploiting it. This awkwardness can come from the situation, the physical space inhabited, or the psychological space inferred-even from his framing of the image itself. This image seems to play on all of these. Alec used a medium format digital camera for this image rather than his usual 8 x 10 view camera with color film. ■
