Interview with Alec Soth on his book "Dog Days Bogotá"

Btw, waiting for your Journal of a Photographer site to go online again. Any more audio-interviews coming up?

Did you get a chance to read the Soth interview on the Magnum Blog?

I liked Alec’s comment on personal interpretation of the subject.

I’m not comfortable making any proclamations about Bogotá. I always say that Sleeping by the Mississippi isn’t a document of the Mississippi River and Niagara isn’t a document of Niagara Falls. In both cases, there are huge gaps because I’m exploring my own interests. I’m making my own Mississippi, my own Niagara. The same is true with Bogotá. My experience of the place was so profoundly shaped by adoption that I could never suggest I have a clear-eyed take on things.

I’m also glad that Carrie asked the question about sequencing.

Thanks for sharing.
