Broken Chard, Union Square Market
Broken Chard wrapped with string at Union Square Market, NYC – 11:13AM June 13, 2009
Since the title of the image in the last post had the word “broken” in it…
Second place 2012 Hasselblad Masters Finalist, D.A.Wagner is a Brooklyn boy who took up photography after finding his father’s old twin lens reflex roll film camera in the attic. He promptly started taking pictures of rocks, wood, girls and subway stations. After a stint at the Fashion Institute of Technology he jumped into assisting with a few notable still life and fashion photographers and then, being an impatient sort, launched his own career, first shooting still life, then adding special effects, virtual and interactive photography and video to keep himself from getting bored. He works out of his 10,000 square foot studio just outside the Lincoln Tunnel so he can accumulate stuff.
It may have been Bauhaus architect Mies van der Rohe who said, “Less is more.” But it took D.A.Wagner to do more with even less.

Hello!
This beautiful, broken kale looks familiar.
You came by our stand (Queens County Farm Museum) and gave me one of your cards.
Your work is . . . I want to say “pitch-perfect”, but I’m not sure that makes sense.
So clean and vivid and full of light.
Thank you,
Keha
