Learning to love you more -Photograph a significant outfit
I’ve blogged about Miranda July’s art assignment website, Learning To Love You More before. When I made my encouraging banner I had no idea it would end up in an exhibition in Middlesborough, however that’s what happened. The fab Nicky Peacock curated a huge LTLYM exhibition using all different assignments from the website. You can see the pics here including my ‘Worry About It Later’ banner adorning the exit.
The following photos are taken from the site. As some of you enjoyed the Photographer’s Gallery’s Can’t Live Without It exhibition, this is in a similar vein. The point isn’t what’s in the outfit, it’s more about the emotional significance of the event. The stories that accompany the pictures are well worth reading and some are absolutely heart rending. But the pictures are utterly charming as well. And an interesting way to photograph outfits. I love it!

I love both of these ideas. Your banner is so cheerful that I think I’ll make one too. And I especially like your message!

Marvelous! I love seeing the tights laid out all floppy. And the hugging couple is super sweet.
Congrats on some great recognition for your lovely banner. It really is sound advice.

what a fantastic idea! amd the banner is great.
i’m always hearing about miranda july and as I didn’t really enjoy ‘me and you and everyone we know’ i’d kind of dismissed her, but seems i may have to reconsider..
