Bruce Rae

Just after my passion for photography was reignited, I would devour all the photographic journals I could find. Standard newsagent fare did not cut it with me, then I found AG photographic
A tremendous publication, now on issue 54. Many of the images were very inspirational, not least those of Bruce Rae, whose little table top tableauxs I was always trying to emulate, before I found my own voice.



Seeing them now after over 10 years, I still love them. They have now been assembled into the most beautiful limited edition book called Tableaux Whispers Echoes.

Beautiful, fragile, dusty-ethereal, composed yet random-looking -- no wonder you keep coming back to these. They really emphasize the nature morte aspect of a still life, don't they?!
(And I think they speak back rather nicely to the David Hockney quotation of your previous post)

Ooooh, love the dusty "cabinet of curiosity" quality of these photos.
