I’m a big fan of photographing the mundane and that’s what Henry Wessel takes pictures of. If you get it right, that’s where the beauty and intrigue lies.
I’m always interested in knowing how photographers work. Wessel makes contact sheets and puts them away for years. He comes back and edits after he’s had some distance from the shooting. Having just gone through editing of old work, I think there’s something to be said for revisiting old work with new eyes.
Here’s the link to the Spark profile KQED aired.
