This is AGCC business, but I’m so happy about it that I’m pimping it here. Slobodan Dimitrov is a photographer who’s best known for his amazing body of work documenting labor in Southern California. In addition to being a brilliant photographer, he’s also in possession of one of the keenest minds I know, with an deep education in the fields of labor history, general history, philosophy and theology, and it’s always a pleasure to speak with him about any of those areas.
For the past several projects, Slobodan has been documenting some, or all of the participants. What has emerged is a striking series of portraits of the people who’s creative energy and sweat makes it possible for the Center to put on the exhibitions and projects that we do. We’ve created a Flickr group so that they can all be viewed in one place, and we’ll update the group as Slobodan shoots more images. Check the Flickr group out here.
up top – yours truly. I got shot as I was the curator for FR8, where we commissioned Slobodan to shoot all of the participating artists.
Great pic – though I wish you’d been wearing your HEAVY PANTS.
I’m wearing other special pants here. You can’t see from the front, but these are wool Swedish military pants, cut off below the knees, and with a heavy-duty YKK zipper that runs from the crotch to the back.
