Some of our readers’ workspaces

Last week, I wrote about the workspaces of the creative and solitary (is that redundant? Creative and solitary?), and I invited readers to submit photos of their own design/photo/art headquarters. Here are a couple, for your voyeuristic viewing pleasure. (I’m happy to keep posting these images, by the way. You’ll find me at [email protected].)

From Alan Gastelum here in New York:

“Love the post! Would love to see some of the SM photographers desks :) My isn’t that fancy, but here it is…”

And from Michael Clinard in Seattle:

“Super huge fan of ye olde Stockland Martel blog, and the photographers you guys rep. Saw the post about studio environs and remembered I’d taken a shot of my own over here in Magnuson Park, Seattle. My workspace is in an old naval brig, so large window/high ceilings. . . what else could I need?

A bit of backstory on what’s going on here: I’m a child of art school–who now works in commercial photography–so a lot of what is on the wall there is the residue of my march through that and what informs my work now. There is a still from a student film where I’d played Professor Bopp (of Hale-Bopp lore), preparatory sketches for a few conceptual drawings involving percentages, a self-portrait entitled ‘something rotten in the state of denmark,’ a piece of C (chromogenic) paper exposed to light for five months (long story), an old baby picture, the work of friends, etc.

As I sit here and compose this message, I often look up and remember the path which led me to the very spot I sit in right now.”

Thanks for sending me your stuff, guys.
