Santa Fe New Mexican
Luther is currently away at the Alternative Photographic Processes International Symposium in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Paul Weidemn did an article on him and briefly touched on my film Amelie and Alchemy. They also used the main photograph for the front page of their magazine, Pasatiempo.
In Amelie and Alchemy, a documentary short made by University of Southern California film student Konstantin Brazhnik, Gerlach discusses the process of photographing his young daughter, Amelie, with the big camera. “What I look for in other photographers’ work, as well as my own, is the poetry,” he says. “These images have a sorcery to them, much more than any other photographic process.”
