At Photo LA this year, one of my favorite things were 2 color photographs by Photo Leauge photographer, Ida Wyman. Ms. Wyman, now 84, recently discovered color film she shot in the 1940’s on the streets of New York. The work was shown by Stephen Cohen Gallery. I wasn’t able to find the images online, but below is one of her better known black and white photographs. I just love her perspective and her images have a magical memory quality for me. She’s definitely in my dream photography collection.

“Her photographs manage to be both specific and universal. They will appeal to those who remember mid-century America, as well as those who simply respond to a human moment captured on film,” says MMoCA curatorial assistant Carl Fuldner, who organized an exhibition in her hometown of Madison, WI.

As always, looking forward to this year’s Photo LA. It’s always great to see so much photography in one place and catch up with contacts from different parts of the country. This year the exposition moves back to it’s original home at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.

Dr. Anthony Bannon, the director of The George Eastman House, will hold a Photography Collecting seminar and tour through the exhibit and the opening reception will be hosted by David LaChappelle.

This event is a must for anyone interested in photography and a great chance to see some great vintage work, as well as exciting pieces by current photographers.
