Sharing this funny portrait of Martin Parr from the session I assisted with @jpib64 back in 2014, the morning after Parr’s Austin Center for Photography lecture. JP had been making portraits of all the @magnumphotos members after their lectures all over Austin and it seemed fitting to shoot Martin right by his hotel at a super corny landmark which he has been collecting these portraits all over the world forever. It was a 6.30am set call since Parr had a flight to catch I think and was a bit sleepy when he showed up maybe didn’t have his morning cup of tea yet. He asked how many slides JP had loaded for his 8x10 . I think JP said 6? When we were on the last slide, JP asked to do one more and Martin said you no, said 6! Haha. I’m pretty sure he turned his back for the last one too which is probably the best capture. I’ll never forget this shoot and how direct and quick witted Parr was that morning having the last laugh!. ❤️ RIP Sir Martin. We love you so much! @martinparrstudio @martinparrfdn

I’m down to the final 100 copies of my last photo book PRETTY MUCH if anyone still fancies a copy. Link in bio shop🔗 Thank you📚 When they gone they gone! Publisher @aintbad Essay by the wonderful @chloejuno 108 pages 9x7 in linen hardcover 2021 📙 ‘In his latest body of work, Sandy Carson turns his wry wit to cataloging the year 2020, an uncertain and unprecedented time where the world began navigating the ‘new normal.’ Brilliantly observed and utterly relatable, these photographs (amassed mostly during lockdown in Austin, Texas and entirely during the calendar year) observe and document family relationships, grief, protests, social issues, and everyday street life as Carson left home to exercise and escape for his own sanity by foot or on his bike. Curious pairings evoke the interconnectedness many of us felt. On the street or just around the corner, a timeless, heartfelt, and absurdist lens joins with Sandy’s hopeful approach to storytelling, inviting the observer to take a deep breath, buckle up and hold on just a bit longer. It’s a gentle reminder that someday, these days will be worth remembering. Pretty much.’ - Joey Spinoza #prettymuchbook #photobook #photobookjousting #printaintdead #aintbad

Delighted to have a photo in the @hamburger_eyes 25th anniversary book and exhibition launch next week at the @sfpubliclibrary 📚🚀 Wish I could go. Please go holler at @rays_reports for me and high five the Bay Area sf homies. A quarter of a century of crushing BW street, often weird incidental, wonderfully wistful and curious 📷 Bastrop Texas Wildfires, 2011 from an assignment for the @austinchronicle #hamburgereyes #sfpubliclibrary
