There were so few foreign galleries and the work was so conservative. 75% black & white from the usual suspects that are all dead and buried.Most the color work were from contemporary super conceptual photographers like the Julie Blackmon's and Lottie Davies' of the world, which I personally can't stand. And don't ever get me started on Alec Soth.Photo Miami during Art Basel blew this show away! Save your $25 for something better.A Fan What a disappointment this show was.

I really have a hard time picking anything out of that fair. It all looks the same to me - so much more so than at fairs like Pulse or the Armory.Re Soth: It is weak compared to other series, but I liked the booth as a show space. Also, as far as the magazine series goes, as I recall there's far weaker work in that group than what was showed, so at least some editing went on. I missed the high school girls, and say, Moujik IV, but most of the shots he took of people who were used to being shot seemed like throw aways to me. As a disclaimer I should say that I do my best to keep up with photography and am learning a lot in an effort to get caught up, but it's not my area of expertise.
