"Currently Hanging"? What's wrong with you people?
Oh. Sorry. Forgot that you Hillary people don't know when you say something racist.
A painter/photographer produces a photograph of a painter/photographer.
Is this a great photograph? Or a good photograph of a great photographer? Is the value of this photo in the name of its maker, or its subject, or in some actual artistry of construction and realization?
New York City is a small town in some ways. Pictures of famous people are hard for me to appreciate without a difficult conversation about why I like these pictures: I think People, Hello! and US magazines have eaten holes in my soul.
All I know is that, without knowing who took the photograph or who the face belongs to, that image just grabs you.
i know what you mean, jubilation t. in this case, i think there are some really great ones in the batch. i seem to recall that they were done with long exposures forcing each sitter to sit still for a little while.
hey -- remember that drink proposal?
Joey, as regards that drink...are you hotter than Mr. Poe? Uncut? Incredibly smart, goal-driven, employed in a job with weekends off and possessing a motorcar?
Remarkably engaging for digital, I always prefer classic "dark room" photography for its hues and depth - but this is good.

That place is such a D-List museum. They are showing photographs by Chuck Close, not his paintings?
RACIST!
Without the Chuck Close brand name this is just a pretty good portrait which in the digital age is achievable by millions of average photographers.

This quote is hilarious considering this series by Chuck Close is daguerreotypes. Digital prints of daguerreotypes.
Seattle is a small ignorant town in love with itself.
Recommence self-absorbed Flickr bloviating.
Hotter than me? Psh.
@11: Quit yer bitchin'. I don't care how it was produced, this is a damn good photograph. Even an effete snob like you should be able to appreciate that.
Yeah @11, you could have graciously enlighted me on my ignorance. Instead you had to be snippy.
