Thanks to Patrick I was able to take another look at a photographer I first discovered in high school. I remember being envious of his greyscale, the ability David Goldes has to create Ansel Adams-esque variety in tones, but otherwise not being too impressed. Patrick facebooked this guy over to me, and upon reviewing the work I was astounded. His photographs are GORGEOUS. Goldes biography is impressive, a Guggenheim, two Bush Foundation fellowships, and countless other grants and residencies, he also holds a MFA in Photography from Visual Studies Workshop, Rochester, New York, an M.F.A. M.A. from Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts: Molecular Genetics and a BA from SUNY at Buffalo, Buffalo: Biology/Chemistry, Phi Beta Kappa. He is a scientist turned artist, and it surfaces as a beautiful blend of almost spiritual experiments in some very simple ideas of science illustrated as photographic images.
