Still Photography | David Todd

After years of devoting myself to the study and practice of photography, I came to realize that it no longer meant the same thing. Photography had changed, as had my relationship to it. It was time to start over with the camera as my phoenix. In the spring of 2009 I blew up all of my cameras with electrically detonated explosives, capturing the action in high-definition slow-motion video. At a time when artists, critics, and curators are asking, “Is photography dead?,” I hope the paradoxes within will push the viewer to join me in looking both forward and backward to better understand just what is photography today.
