I found the work of David Hillard in the gift shop when I was at the aforementioned Whitney Museum of Art. Crammed into the delicate bookcase was this oddly shaped collection of photographs that depicted assorted American locales. I won't lie and will here fully admit I felt an immediate camaraderie as one of the initial shots featured a father and son dining on Krystal burgers, a Southern mini burger local to only Southeastern states. They aren't good but they are a memory... As a kid I collected their Wizard of Oz tumbler collection which my dad still has to this day. Their prizes were always way more classy than McDonald's.
At any rate, I enjoy his photographs and the happy accident of finding them. I naturally did some research on his website and can happily confide I will be making sure I attend his next opening in New York City in March.
