When I first saw his work at Graduate School I was shocked by Larry Sultan’s poignant, personal photographs and were like nothing I’ve ever seen before at the time. His influences, I realize, stretch out to many artists, including my own. A month ago I looked at a photograph from the Valley series at MoMA and loved how he took charged moments–living family memories, the sex industry–and made it quietly personal. I am glad to be included in a group exhibition with Larry Sultan years ago at the Weatherspoon Museum.
