Grant Mudford has been named the 2014 recipient of the Julius Shulman Institute Excellence in Photography Award. The award highlights an early or mid-career artist who embodies the legacy of architectural photographer Julius Shulman and the Institute's mission to challenge the perception of physical space. — bustler.net
Mudford will receive the award on April 3 at the WUHO Gallery from 6-8 pm. Accompanying the award reception will be the opening of the Grant Mudford: Building exhibition, running from April 3-27.
"Since the mid-1960s, Grant Mudford has investigated the urban landscape in photographs known for their clarity, conceptual acumen and sly humor. After studying architecture at the University of New South Wales, the Australian-born artist established himself as a cogent observer of Sydney and London's social and architectural scenes. With his move to Los Angeles in the mid-1970s, he found his ideal subject in a city founded on quirky details, anxious expediency and stylistic incongruence."

I like his work and he deserves the recognition, but "Early or mid-career artist" and "since the mid 1960s" should be mutually exclusive.
Even worse, the photographer who won in 2012 was 95 years old, and had been shooting professionally since 1939 (for Wright, no less!)
I think I discovered the one career that takes longer to develop than architecture.
Congratulations to Grant Mudford. I remember when he photographed my M-house for the LA Times years ago!
