Photographic Memories is a collection of articles, essays and commentary on the subject of photography from the perspective of a working and exhibiting photographic and digital artist. After creating photographs, and now digital art, for thirty-five years and running his own studio for twenty-three years Dale O’Dell has amassed a collection of articles previously published in the leading photographic magazines (LensWork, E-Digital Photo, Photo District News, PC Photo, ASMP, Professional Photographer.) and essays and commentary on what it’s really like to work as a creative artist every day. This isn’t a theory or criticism book but something different. It’s a three-hundred-and-sixty degree observation of life as viewed through the lens. These stories are funny, irreverent, poignant and at times hard-core. He pulls no punches and tells it like it is in plain language. It’s not all glory, exotic locations, gallery openings and beautiful models!
Some of the subjects he tackles are:
The unconscious motivation behind some images
What it’s like to be a photographer’s assistant
The politics of nudity
Artspeak and the obscure language of art criticism
