Side note: Ethan and I interviewed Hin via Skype because he lives in London. We wish we would have been able to visit Hin in-person, see where he lives, works, and photographs, and have beers, of course.

Big thanks to our web programmer, Matt Bagwell, for making our iTunes video podcast a reality, and to our web designer, Kim Miller, for being continually wonderful.
Although I have never met Zoe Strauss, she has been a long supporter of Pause, to Begin and we have long been a fan of what she creates and does, including her recently released USA Artist YouTube video. There are many notable quotes from the video but this hit a particular chord in my mind:
At 4 the show is done and that means that if people want to take the photographs, they can. It’s not a commodity in terms of, “I’m putting these up and then I’m going to take these down as if there’s some worth for that.” The worth is the moment in which they’re up – that 3 hour time period in which it’s all up and together.
We are pleased to begin launching the 2008 Pause, to Begin Multimedia.
We will release 1 multimedia presentation per day, Monday thru Friday, over the course of 3 weeks for a total of 15 multimedia presentations.

Resurfacing after little more than a year, Vibe Magazine’s September 2007 interview with Obama seems especially relevant this week. Tuesday (October 7) marks the last day to register to vote for this year’s presidential election and it seems like almost everyone has something to say about it.
My opinion regarding celebrity endorsement of presidential candidates is a matter that I will keep to myself — but I am particularly interested in the the number of photographers who are choosing to endorse their candidate of choice. Above are fashion photographer Terry Richardson’s images from the Vibe interview. Falling in step with his characteristic flash-on-camera style, Richardson’s images are a welcome juxtaposition to the lack-luster stereotypical candidate portraiture:

An additional note, more than fifty photographers (including Elinor Carucci, Philip-Lorca DiCorcia, Mitch Epstein, Larry Fink, Todd Hido, Richard Misrach, Alec Soth and Joel Sternfled…et all!) have donated images to http://www.artforobama.net – an online auction benefit organized by five artists who “have come together to help the Obama campaign. Because we cannot afford to make large donations ourselves, we want to bring together the leaders of our community to help create change.”
Larry Fink ‘The Candidate’ (2008)
Edition 13/25
Value: $4,000.00
Starting Bid: $2,000.00
Included in the bidding is this image by Larry Fink, another interesting take on the theme of Obama portraits I am exploring in this post. The auction is open from October 3 to October 10 and all money earned will be donated to moveon.org.
