notes from a quiet life, robert benjamin

I loved this show (and Eric Paddock is a very nice guy - my class got a tour of this show when I was teaching at the Art Inst of CO).

“Eric Paddock, Curator of Photography at the Denver Art Museum, describes Benjamin as a “dad with a camera.” That is a true statement, since Benjamin is a father who makes pictures, but the pictures he makes transcends the simple title. Common themes of nature, portraits and reflections tell of what he was able to put in front of his camera. His vision is direct and clean. He is more than a technician. The work bears traces of a contemporary practitioner and working at a high level.”
