new sites, black photographers

Posted on | January 30, 2009 | 2 Comments

Ocean Morrisset, Sakia Gunn Rally, 2005

Check our Ocean Morriset’s three sites:http://omorisset.myexpose.com/, http://brothaluvacafe.blogspot.com, and http://blackisbeautifulgayisgood.blogspot.com/, “a photography exhibition that celebrates Black Gay culture, life and history by New York City-based photographer Ocean Morisset.” I’m excited to know about your work, Ocean, and your name is so beautiful!

Lafotographeuse, Avignon

By chance I came across Lafotographeuse, Amanda Adams-Louis’s site. She’s a young (born the year I graduated from college—sobering!), self-described “visual griotte.” Check her out.

Eric J. Henderson, the hurtful infinity

I mentioned Eric J Henderson recently in a post about the fabulous Dodge and Burn blog; he sent another URL with a small, 15-image portfolio: http://www.15×100.com

Kelly Watson, Knee

And lastly, Rochester-based Kelly Watson sent me her URL back in December: http://www.kellymwatson.com/. I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly at my opening last week. I’m looking forward to spending more time with the work.

Tomorrow I leave for a purely fun trip to London and Paris, so I’ll be away from my site until February 20. In the meantime, keep sending me your info!

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

    It was established with two goals: to be able to make my own work widely available for free, and to make accessible my research about artists of the African Diaspora, especially photographers, and in particular women. As it developed it grew to also include GLBTQ artists.

I’ve been working in this field for 25 years and I’m burned out on photography and art, the site(s) are in need of major updates/ revamping/ retooling, social media is exhausting, [...] […]

    • Mambu Badu’s Inaugural Magazine February 8, 2012
      Danielle was briefly a contributor to this site; I am very excited to hear about her latest venture, the collective and now journal Mambu Badu “that seek to find, expose, and nurture emerging female photographers of African descent.”  Congrats, Danielle! As you may (or may not) know, last fall, I co-founded Mambu Badu, a photography collective […]
