Lynda's Blog - Art Unhinged: My Interview with Photographer Bryce Lankard

Out this week is my interview with documentary and fine art photographer Bryce Lankard featured on the cover and the first 17 pages of the Summer 2013 edition of The Main Street Rag magazine. The magazine features my interview alongside some of Bryce's photographs (that is his photo on the cover too).

For the past 13 years of his over 25 year career, Bryce Lankard's photography has focused on capturing the "unhinged": sudden loss and life disrupted such as the aftermath of 9/11 and of Hurricane Katrina. Instead of capturing the typical photographs of destruction and disarray (rubble piles, crumpled buildings, or cars floating in water), Bryce wanted to try something new. His goal was to capture not the reality but the quality, experience, and feeling (pathos) of such loss. In his portfolio collection titled "Blink of an Eye" Bryce shot his images with a Holga camera so the photographs would be gauzy, soft, dreamy, yet desolate and empty.

Bryce is a brilliant and fascinating guy --- one minute philosophical and the next whimsical --- and he is always passionate about photography.
