Joel Sternfeld’s First Pictures
Three decades after they were made, Joel Sternfeld’s earliest photographs have now been published as “First Pictures,” a selection of which are débuting today at Luhring Augustine Gallery. Taken between 1971 and 1980, the photographs document the travels of a young artist from busy streets to barefoot beaches, with inklings of Sternfeld’s now celebrated dark sense of humor, formalist experiments in color theory, and narrative tableaus.

Joel Sternfeld took a picture of me once, years ago.
His first words: “I’m not gay, but can I take your picture?”
He promised me a print and never delivered.
Dude owes me big time.

Today in Things We Love: Sled Dogs, by Fritz Hoffman
Incredible photos from the Battle of the Bulge, some in color, taken during Nazi Germany’s last-ditch effort to drive back Allied forces between December 1944 and January 1945. Pictured here: “An American Sherman M4 tank moves past another gun carriage that slid off icy road in the Ardennes Forest during push to halt advancing German troops.”
Picture of the Day. Claire Felicie’s series of portraits of Marines before, during and after their tours of duty in Afghanistan are touching and powerful. Above are Jasper, Age 21 and Luke, Age 25. Visit her website to see more of her photography of Marines in Afghanistan, especially her series of portraits of them holding their lucky charms. Also check out the Lens Culture post on this series.
