Arts Local Boy in The New Yorker
posted by on January 15 at 12:15 PM
How many expressive young men are sitting around Seattle dreaming of one day being in The New Yorker? Who can keep track… But here is one Seattle native, photographer Andrew Miksys, who has actually made the leap. His picture “Kissing Couple,” from 2001, accompanies William Trevor’s short story in the current issue of the magazine.
Here’s a cleaner version of the photograph. It’s from Miksys’s time in Lithuania, where he’s focused much of his attention on the Roma. Miksys will be at Seattle’s CoCA on Jan. 26, along with NPR commentator and poet Andrei Codrescu, to present images from Miksys’s new book, BAXT.
If you go, ask him about this lady.
That is a great image. It is interesting how both of their faces are obscured.
Yeah, because there aren't any expressive young women sitting around Seattle dreaming of one day being in The New Yorker...
oh for fuck's sake #2 - if Eli was talking about a woman photographer, he probably would have said "How many expressive young women are sitting around Seattle dreaming of one day being in The New Yorker?"
jebus. why is it always a fucking argument with you people?
I'm pretty sure Andrew Miksys didn't get his work into the New Yorker by sitting around dreaming.
Score! The holy grail of print... and I thought Remnick was a little stuffy...
