Photography by Tim Davis Featured in the New York Times
Tim Davis, associate professor of photography.
Associate Professor of Photography Tim Davis contributed photos to an essay in the New York Times Opinion section. “Finding Beauty at Maximum Discount” by Crispin Sartwell, part of a wider Times series about discovering joy in the unexpected, is about the allure of Walmart and its “choices beyond number.” Davis’s photos of shelves and shoppers show the abundance of the supermarket chain through the thousands of colors and forms that stretch throughout its spaces. “The beauty of Walmart is that it is a realistic beauty,” Sartwell writes. “A practical beauty, a real beauty.”
Davis has taught photography at Bard since 2004. His work often focuses on small towns and incorporates photos with music. His latest photobook Normaltown, which is about everyday life in Athens, Georgia, was published in 2024.
