The Art of Photography
This weekend I’m headed to Marfa, TX. Why?
The main reason is Donald Judd. Judd is one of the leading minimilist artists from the 1970’s and 1980’s. While working in New York City, he started purchasing property in West Texas to display his large scale environmental works. Today, Chinati features works by Judd as well as Dan Flavin, Claes Oldenberg and Robert Irwin.
I’m going to be vlogging my trip over the next few days. But before I do we need to discuss minimalism.

Any relation to the Marfa Prada installation ??
Was hoping to learn something about minimalism.
I've thankfully had the chance to see a Judd piece in person. It was one of the wall-mounted pieces with colored acrylic or glass on the top and bottom of each box. It is honestly one of the most interesting pieces of art I've ever seen. There is just this incredible interplay between form and space that no photo can capture. I would recommend that anyone who has a museum nearby them with a Judd work or two should check it out as soon as they are able to.
The NEX-7 is still one of my most favorite cameras, the Tri-Navi was genius, but but they had limited it's impact by not allowing full customization of buttons and dials, I've been dreaming of a FF NEX-7 since it came out.
Yes please show us the clothes. That jpg shirt made me curious. 😉
Each generation art more “minimalistic”, I think we end with “Stone Age” culture, in photography same, people shooting windows, eyes, glasses and call it “photography”.
I was in Marfa many years ago and was enchanted with Judd's works. Thanks for covering this!!
Where to comment for the podcast “The Film Problem”?
Bon Voyage, have a nice trip! Looking forward to the images (IR especially!).
Whoever wrote that nonsense starting at about 1:30 that Ted was reading had no intention of anyone understanding it, or cared if they lied and said they did. It would have been easier if the author just wrote that Judd was an art snob and wanted to be left alone.
My first time I drove with friends from Los Angeles to New Orleans we went through Marfa. I think it took an extra two days. Ahh memories. Enjoy your trip. I can't wait to see the pics. Does that work with the original mavic pro?
You and Eric together in Texas filming, this should be interesting!!!
I'm sure you've already visited it by the time I post this, but you will love Marfa. If you have a chance, go to Big Bend.
Hey Ted- Great… now I’m going to have to look for your Sony NEX-7 videos!
Any cost ideas what Sony will charge me for the same Camera Conversion to remove the two filters from my NEX-7? I like the idea of adding the filters externally! Keep #Crushingit 🔥📷
many packages for a short trip
Haha tech nerd, I I guess I am not only one and never go down on equipment
Hi Ted. I like to make video about GoPro, can use a little bit of your video where you talked about it?
100% Best Video Hai Ya
Contact Craig Rember if you want to learn more about Donald Judd. A friend of mine from college who managed the estate.
If anybody asks how cats were able to get all over the world … the send themselves inside of luggage or parcels via mail.
Great.
No film camera? Kind of a downer, but you can’t bring everything. Enjoy the road trip…Erik should get to experience some amazing bbq in the little out of the way towns.
At least your cats were helping you pack.
Very cool you’re so excited.
Marfa is fun and you will love some of the wall quotes, Alpine has some nice restaurants too. Get lost and let the adventure begin.
Hope you have a great experience! But please, do not ever read that stuff from your mobile phone about Judd again. What a load of horseshit – lots of high falutin words that say nothing except, "I, the writer, am smarter than the rest of you poor cultureless, heathen." 😉
Do not forget Marfa Prada. I'm headed that way from Tulsa in April to mostly shoot the stars and abandoned buildings. Can't wait to see your images.
since one of the cats is the same colour as your cases you may have one more than you think
What bag did you bring?
Prada
You're so funny. Very much enjoy your channel. Wishing you a safe, fun and enlightening trip!
Ted, when you're in Marfa, you should definitely go check out the MacDonald Observatory at night (you need to buy a ticket in advance), on the weekends (and possibly during the week, I'm not sure), they do "star shows" with an astronomer pointing at constellations, star clusters etc. AND you get to look at all of this as well as the Milky Way, not only with your own eyes, but also through telescopes! The observatory is in the mountains about 30 min north of Marfa. It's definitely worth the look!
