Why must the mounted messenger be mounted? is a new book by Lucas Blalock offering an expanded meditation on the artist’s twenty-year involvement with photography. In it, Blalock charts the development of his photographic ideas as they run alongside a tangled web of accidents, influence, romance, anxiety, and work. It is a book about coming of age with a preoccupation alternately in full bloom and on its last legs. The volume also reproduces many of Blalock's own photographs and artworks by his peers and influences.
