William Eggleston, please.


Aha! someone else who like's Roger Ballen :) he he he
You are most probably familiar with Roger's work he did in South Africa (I hail from South Africa myself)
Not sure if you know that he also does a lot of photographic work for, and just completed a video clip for the rather bizarre South African musical group "Die Antwoord.
Here is Roger Ballen's latest video clip which he produced for "Die Antwoord" Die Antwoord means "The Answer"

another article about Roger Ballen and the video-clip for "Die Antwoord"

Another great music clip by "Die Antwoord" (This one was not directed by Roger Ballen )

The little chap who features in it was Leon Botha a progeria sufferer who died last year.

And for those who would like to know more about Roger Ballen and his work here is his web page with his portfolio. Be sure to look at his images from the South African "platteland" (rural backwaters)

I'd also like to try a Roger Ballen challenge. I've seen quite a bit of his work - even went to the launch of one of his books. I was surprised to see his name at the end of the only video by "Die Antwoord" that I've seen.

On a side note, I didn't know Leon Botha died. So sad. He was an amazingly positive guy. I'll have a look at those video links later.

Where did you live in SA?

Yes, i'm a huge admirer of Ballen's work. Thanks for those links- they look really interesting and ii'll give them a good peruse later. For more Roger Ballen goodness take a look at the most recent issue of the British Journal of Photography. It has a large feature on him along with twenty or so full pages of some of most recent series. Stunning stuff. I read the BJP on my ipad and their app is extremely good. Highly recomended.
