All photos courtesy Annie CollingeFirstly, let's please take a moment to welcome our fabulous new writer to the 3rd Ward crew, Perrin Drumm. As you can see from her site, this is a woman with a resumé after our own heart. So with that, we bring you one of Drumm's first pieces:
Annie Collinge is a London-born, Brooklyn-based photographer whose work I fell head over heels in love with when discovering it last year via It's Nice That. If you visit Collinge's site you'll see one of the photos I was struck by--one that now hangs over my dining table and is actually far more vivid in person.
As it turned out, Annie and I were practically neighbors. In fact, she delivered the photo to me herself, arriving soaking wet after trekking through the rain from Williamsburg to Greenpoint. When she appeared on my doorstep, dripping and cold but smiling bright, I was convinced that this was a gifted, committed artist.
Recently, Annie emailed to tell me about her latest project: A Selby-esque photo tour through the home of surrealist Nancy Fouts. The images were so intriguing I required some backstory.
