It’s only the tiniest of images, but I do believe it qualifies as the first time an image of mine has been published in a publication that actually costs money to buy. The above (click on it for a larger version) is from the October issue of Artforum magazine, and shows my photo of Japanese filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu’s grave stone (original here) at the start of a piece on Ozu by Jim Jarmusch. (I realize it’s a bit teeny-bopperish, but I admit feeling a tinge of excitement when I got the issue and saw this placement, my photo next to Jim Jarmusch’s byline. The headline of this post is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, in case that wasn’t obvious.) The magazine had come across my small site about Ozu via a search and requested some images of his grave, along with some other Ozu paraphernalia.
