Caption 157


A

delicate acrobatic wire. The digitized sky through scaffolding nets. Directional arrows painted on roads. Reflections of light bouncing off glossy paint. Shadows of spring branches on white metal. I am looking through the camera lens like a fascinated tourist who is seeing the familiar as unfamiliar elements of visual poetry—abstraction, grace, and unique juxtapositions in the changing light. Sandy Kaufman is a painter and photographer living in Brooklyn, New York. He has worked for Columbia University and New York University for the past 20 years as a creative director while continuing to work on his paintings and photography. Now, he is focused solely on his personal art.
