It's unfortunate that I do not know more of Teodulo Protomartir, whose photos of 1946 Manila put the art in artifact, but I'm glad I caught his show at Silverlens. Amazing photos. This just wasn't a guy with a camera experimenting with a relatively new medium. This was a guy with a unique and timeless vision. His composition and knack for visually articulating a moment will put those scarf-wearing, from-hip-shooting kids to shame.
Silverlens press on Protomartir here. The show opened yesterday and will be on for a month. Go see it.
