Fink

A few years ago, I went to a gallery showing of Larry Fink's Photography with my dear friend, the very lovely Ms. O.  We had a terrific time drinking wine and exchanging stories as we wandered around the exhibit. The photography definitely left an impression on me and the following quote pretty adeptly sums up the style of photography.

“Fink’s photographs provide the opportunity to study a gesture, a smile, a surreptitious glance, even the sweat on an arm or a wrinkle of skin – comprising a kind of desire, sensuality, disappointment, or ennui.  They record the tension between one’s keenly felt public identity and the inner exigencies of the emotional psyche.”
— Susan Kismaric, Curator of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art

Okay, so I probably wouldn't have put it exactly that way, but I think you'll get the picture if you go to this website, Larry Fink Photography, and see for yourself.  Let me know if you have a favorite...
