Philosophers book reviewed in Philosophy Now
Hi Friends!
My second volume of Philosophers has just been reviewed in Philosophy Now, i'm including a link below. Hope you're all well.
Very best,
Steve
The review was written by Constantine Sandis of 'Philosophy Now' and can be seen in full here with a select few quotes below;
Jason Stanley
"Pyke’s collection proves just how wrong Nozick was to suppose that a picture of a person in a moment of time could not reveal a lifetime’s worth of traits, beliefs, emotions and aspirations."
Referring to text contributed by philosophers;
"It is revealing to compare the content of these with those in the 1993 book, as they collectively reveal a small yet steady change in the philosophical climate. "
"Philosophers could not have hoped for a better portrait artist than Steve Pyke. "

Help to fund the Moonbug exhibition at NASA
Dear friends,
Filmmaker Nichola Bruce and I have started a KickStarter project to fund Moonbug, a film to commemorate the men who first stepped foot on the moon. The project is focused on an upcoming
exhibition at NASA's Johnson Space Centre this November. A screening of Nichola's documentary Moonbug will coincide with my own portraits.
The film has a haunting soundtrack by leading electronic musician Matt Johnson of "The The"- and chronicles my odyssey to capture the pioneering astronauts in an array of outstanding profile portraits. We are hoping to also then do several screenings of the film in NYC and across the country. Please help us support the exhibition through this project. We thank you for all of your support.
Best,
Steve

What Does a Philosopher Look Like?
A J Ayer, London, 5 October 1988 © Steve Pyke
From issue 55 of The Philosopher’s Magazine, Cynthia Freeland wrote an essay on Steve's Philosophers series. The essay can be seen on the Talking Philosophy blog and raises interesting questions of the portraits Steve has been making since the late 80's.

Head over to the blog post itself to read all the comments from contributors and add your own opinions.
Rebecca Kukla commented:
"Perhaps it’s because I’ve spent my whole life among philosophers but I find these shots deeply ‘appetizing’ for the most part. These are character-filled, thoughtful, real faces, and most of the pictures make me want to talk to that person"
