lise sarfati is a magnum photographer whose works deal with adolescence and young adulthood in urban and suburban locations. aesthetically she's my main influence in my NS project, shooting with wide angle lenses with a small format camera, using available light.

i wrote her an email at the very beginning of my project, and amazingly she responded:

Dear Chuck,
Sorry to reply you so late I was working and I am now in LA and am doing a trip in the states to do a new series......
It is nice to hear that you like The New Life It is my favourite work and book I really love Twin Palms which choose his authors like a collection....
I work with kodachrome 64 It is a film created in the 40 They just stopped the production of this film one month ago You could only process the film in a lab in Kansas and they stop processing this fil in this lab in dec 2010..That is why I wanted to do the last series in KKK64
I love these colors which look like Super 8 fim amateurish After I scann the slide and I have somebody who is very good in Paris who is working on my color correction before giving the scann to the lab and doing a print...
All my best wishes,lise sarfati
