photography masters

Joe Rodriguez: the surprising experience (i.e. liberating) of learning from what he knows - what he has made himself, and his volume of work - rather than from what he teaches.
Retrospectively the same thing can be said for Natan Dvir, for Harvey Stein. Joe shows it to me.
Master.
This certainly takes me away from pedagogic tropes ('humanism', 'courage', 'emotion' are key, and they are weighted with something known with depth, quite unfacile).
It is, also, what the power of discovery in 2008 Arles was made of. There is knowledge here, and its forms are fresh to me.
