Miroslav Tichy

Thanks to blog reader losfeld who reminded me of the outsider photography of Miroslav Tichy. Self-made voyeurism at it's best. I first heard of this artist in the book "Create and Be Recognized", which has an entry on his work. There are a couple of other books out on him as well as an exhibition of his work this past February at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery.
