Alec Soth dove into blogging a couple of weeks ago has already addressed topics like parenting and being a photographer, how he finds his subjects, and the controversy brewing around a photograph taken by Thomas Hoepker on 9/11. Alec even reprinted an email he got from Hoepker on that subject. Surprisingly, for someone who already has a lot to do, Soth’s blog is written thoughtfully. He takes the time to solicit and respond to comments from his readers. A photographer blogging casually about his interests and reacting in an public forum to comments from those who have interest in his work is a rare treat for other photographers. Got a technical question about what film Soth uses, if he traveled the whole length of the Mississippi for his project Sleeping on the Mississippi, or if he uses digital cameras? Just ask.
