History and Transition by Keith Goldstein

I’m putting together a talk for the B&H Event Space towards the end of April 2015. One of the things I’ve been thinking about is history. How history, whether our own or world history, somehow gets distilled through our work whether we realize it at the time or not.  I was thinking, “What was happening in the world and my life around the time these images, from a series, were being realized?” It was 9/11. These images also marked the transition of my work from scanned film to shooting and embracing digital technology head on.
