a review of

This doc benefits from having a feminist director. I was glad to have Shelley Rice (art critic at the time) and Laurie Simmons (up and coming artist at the time) to discuss their reactions to his work in the 70s, esp Simmons saying as a woman she couldn't be invisible as a street photographer the way he could, and Rice talking about his book Women Are Beautiful which... Yeah. He's kind of a problematic fave for me, some of his work is just so good I always love his fumbly old man routine to deter suspicion, which you can see in this 80s doc Contemporary Photographie In The USA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RM9KcYEYXs - some of the footage in All Things are Photographable may be from there actually. Oh and the points at the end about how people didn't react well to the posthumous work that was thousands of undeveloped rolls of film and then someone finally says well, you can see that they even printed the blank photos at the beginning which are taken to advance the camera to the first frame, they didn't edit the photos at all. And that's what was missing from that work, is the editing process. An artist who takes as he said 600 rolls of film a year is editing the hell out of that output. Which is likely why he burned out on that part of it in his later years. I personally think more emphasis should be put on editing in a lot of creative pursuits, so it was nice to have it mentioned here. That's how people can find the gems. This was pretty good. And I've seen some dud art documentaries in the last while Could do without the oversharing of the first wife, just make her interview a little shorter
