“You are not a dinosaur” began as a cooperative of 7 photographers. We took our name from a line in Bruce Holland Rogers’ (very) short story “Dinosaur” which asks how individuals cede (or don’t) to society’s expectations of becoming responsible grown-ups. This site allows us to bring to light artists, groups, and events from around the world that seem engaged in consonant thematic pursuits. T.W. 9.11.11 'You are not a dinosaur' on Flickr

You are (still) not a dinosaur.
I wanted to revisit an interview that I did last year with Tim Olsen to see if 'dinosaur' has gone where we had hoped. In many ways I'm frustrated that the insularity of the photo community- in Minneapolis and nationally- remains, that we haven't opened a broader dialogue between the solo endeavor of making art and the people we hope are receptive to it. That said, I remain proud of each artist's individual commitment to making themselves known through this medium's unique and malleable syntax. T.W. 5.17.2012
