These aren't just photographs. They are high art.

Everybody looks good at the starting line. Get on your mark,get ready but you better keep this in mind. You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun but going the distance is the hard part son. Everybody looks good at the starting line.

Life is not significant details, illuminated by a flash, fixed forever. Photographs are.

Mallarme said that everything in the world exists in order to end in a book. Today everything exists to end in a photograph.

So successful has been the camera's role in beautifying the world that photographs, rather than the world, have become the standard of the beautiful.

The painter constructs, the photographer discloses.

To take a photograph is to participate in another person's mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time's relentless melt.
Susan Sontag

Much of Sontag's brilliant musings (see "On Photography") is relevant to Wolf's art. I can never read her work or view his or her photos without seeing one as a commentary on the other. As Ellington would say "....beyond category".

St Louis, MO
" Jazz is the music of the freedom of collective improvisation."- Duke Ellington in Music Is My Mistress.

“I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.”
Duke Ellington quote

It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives its most distinctive character.-James Weldon Johnson

"And what gift of America to the rest of the world is actually most appreciated by the rest of the world? It is African-American jazz and its offshoots. What is my definition of jazz? 'Safe sex of the highest order.'"-Kurt Vonnegut

Selima ! My increasing collection will soon require the realization of this "posture/instrument classification" project I have in my mind for a long time in order to find my patterns !
