Discoveries in street photography aren’t always what they are hyped up to be, but Arthur Tress<\/em>‘s rediscovery of some of his early work holds more promise than most. Tress took around 900 photos during a short stay in San Francisco in the summer of 1964, and stored the prints that be made from them in a community darkroom there wrapped up in a parcel at his sister’s house when he went off to work elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Forty-five years later in 2009 he came across them again and decided they were interesting, and took them to show curator James Ganz<\/em> at the de Young Museum.<\/p>\n

The show Arthur Tress: San Francisco 1964<\/a> opened there on 3 March and runs until 3 June 2012, and there is just a little more information in the press release<\/a>. If you – like me – can’t get to San Francisco, the best place to see them is on Tress’s own web site<\/a>. Of course his later and better known work is also worth a long look. Accompanying the show is a book of the same title<\/a>, and also worth reading is an interview with him<\/a> by Jim Kasson from 2002 on the web site of The Center for Photographic Art in Carmel<\/span>. Although I wrote about Tress’s work on several occasions on another site I’m surprised to find that this seems to be his first mention here on >Re:PHOTO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
