Photographs from the series the Divine Animals: The Bovidae and The Best of the Best were featured by InsideHook “No One Shoots an Animal Quite Like Photographer R. J. Kern” by Elyssa Goodman on December 6, 2019. I enjoyed meeting Elyssa at the Center for Photography at Woodstock Auction in New York in October and appreciate her writing on photography and the arts.
She writes: “As much as Kern’s work is about analyzing part of a cultural landscape, it’s also an internal exploration. One of the ways he does that is by looking at what he calls beauty ‘in the common’ — or at least what is common to him, among the bucolic landscape he now calls home.”
