New York Times Magazine

Brian Ulrich

Phillip-Lorca diCorcia

The New York Times Sunday Magazine has been on a roll with photos by fine art photographers accompanying stories for the last three weeks. Brian Ulrich yesterday, Phllip-Lorca diCorcia a week ago, and the Martin Parr spread I pointed out on Easter. These are 3 photographers who make compelling social and political statements with their artistic work, do their images raise the impact of the stories? The inclusion of this caliber of work certainly raises my desire to get the Sunday Times.

Follow up: I had to post this link to Alec Soth's blog. He has posted a letter to the editor of W Magazine complaining about using Alec for a fashion spread in the April issue. While you're there read down through the comments for full illumination. I'm wondering if the letter writer has been busy writing to the NYT as well.
