Alec Soth blew up in the photo art scene a few years ago when his first project "Sleeping by the Mississippi" came out. His large format color photographs explore social landscapes. What he does so well is convey the sense of place, while imposing his own themes in portraits and places. 

He's got an exhibit at UofK right now through October 26, 2008. I've never seen his original prints before so I'm looking forward to that. Plus, I know he’s a good speaker because I heard him about a year ago at UofL. He's one of the sharpest contemporary voices on photography.
