The photographs of Jacob Koestler would cast doubt on the success of these ideals in light of contemporary realities.  As one contemplates Everybody Wants Somewhere\, a kind of salvage operation occurs regarding the remnants of places of labor\, the impenetrable windows of sequestered lives\, the construction and massing of skyscrapers\, the dismal evidence of economic disparity without so much as a figure.  One may want to avoid any serious investigation of these typically shunned\, unappealing elements\, but this reclamation through the photographer’s intelligent\, perceptual and bodily reconnoitering and chance selectivity in seeing\, however\, may defeat the immediate response to look away.” \nFrom Gary Sampson\nEverybody Wants Somewhere\, 2018 \n  \n“In Copy of a Copy [currently on view at The Print Center]\, Koestler distinguishes between making and looking at photographs\, actions which have become almost simultaneous but once were separated by developing … Several images come from the series Everybody Wants Somewhere. The most absorbing are twins\, “West Coast View (Overexposed)” and “West Coast View (Underexposed).” Seen across a gallery\, the former seems an empty canvas while its sibling appears a black hole. Details emerge on approach\, but it never feels like everything is visible. This is Koestler’s point: from a distance\, things tend to look black or white. To understand\, you have to get closer.” \nFrom Pamela J. Forsythe\nPerception vs. Memory\, Broad Street Review\, 2018
