Larissa Leclair has teamed up with One Hour Photo to feature photographers from this exhibition. Read the initial post here. Today’s photographers are Bryan Ewsichek, Lynley Bernstein, John Vanderslice, Ramon Vega, and Zev Schmitz.


11-noon: Bryan Ewsichek

Describe the photograph selected for One Hour Photo in three words:
colorful, tradition, deflated

How does one go about selecting a photograph that is good enough for an exhibition but that can never be seen again?
While I appreciate the concept of the show, and I submitted a photograph that I am proud of… I also realize that the world will not end if no one sees my photo ever again. That said, it elevates the importance of seeing my photo within the hour that it will be projected.

What are your thoughts on letting go of this image?
The particular subject matter of my photograph illustrates the fleeting nature of American traditions and instinctual consumer nature… So it seems appropriate to essentially discard the image.

Blonde on bronze

How does one go about selecting a photograph that is good enough for an exhibition but that can never be seen again?
Ignore the “never be seen again” part.

C’est la vie.

2-3pm: Ramon Vega


3-4pm: Zev Schmitz

Describe the photograph selected for One Hour Photo in three words:
The salted inversion

How does one go about selecting a photograph that is good enough for an exhibition but that can never be seen again?
I find it strange when artists become protective and nostalgic about their work. Anyone who photographs daily or even weekly has amassed an incredible amount of images by years end and should be happy to display the strong images in any occurrence, if only once.

What are your thoughts on letting go of this image?
I hope it is well enjoyed.
