If you haven't yet seen (t)here, I highly recommend seeking it out -- beautiful production, and devoted mostly to conceptual work. My project involves someone else's camera. I took a digital recorder into Warren Neidich's studio, and recorded my impressions as he took light-painted photographs of my head. The finished images are brilliant -- some look like a skull floating in space, with a brain stem hanging down -- and the text turned out okay. Warren's an interesting guy. For a long time he staged pre-photographic historical scenes -- these were published by Aperture -- and now he's drifting towards subtle Photoshop manipulation, along the lines of Andreas Gursky.
