Discovery — ”I Want You Back”
(via hipstertracks, breefield)
Writing about photographs is a risk. The first sign of a good photograph is that it makes you want to say something about it. The second sign is that it makes whatever you say seem inadequate. The best photographs entice commentary then demean it, stimulating reaction and then cutting it off, producing noise only to extinguish it. The image actively silences the viewer.

It’s really good. Reminds me of Arbus, and I love Arbus. Many of the photos were taken while he walked across the United States, west to east.
(why can’t I link straight to the photos in question? because he’s got a goddamn flash site, that’s why.)
