Watershed on Flak Photo
December 15th, 2009 § 0
Andy Adams is featuring one of the photographs from Watershed on his site Flak Photo. The work is part of the feature on the photography.book.now contest Andy has put together. Flak photo will feature highlights from the 25 award winners from the contest until December 18th. I’ve been following the feature since mid-november when it began, and it has been really interesting to see the images in a different context.

Still Water Review in the Atlanta Journal Constitution
November 11th, 2009 § 0
Catherine Fox has written an interesting review about the Still Water Exhibit at Agnes Scott College.
Alembik, the gallery’s director, clearly worked hard to encompass all matters H2O — where we get it, how we use it, politics, responsibility, the pleasures it provides — through a wide spectrum of art practices.
In so doing, she also touches on larger questions about art, its purpose and its power, and the artist’s role in society.

I just saw this book for the first time today, and I am completely amazed at the quality of the work and the quality of the printing…superb!

Into the Sunset and Walker Evans & Company
October 6th, 2009 § 0
I just picked up a copy of Into the Sunset, the catalogue for the exhibtion of the same name this year at MOMA. The book is definitely worth a look, especially if you have a slight obsession with all things western (like I do.)
This catalogue reminded me of another great book that I picked up several years ago, Walker Evans & Company, which is also a catalogue for a past MOMA exhibition.

Chelsea Gallery Expedition
September 26th, 2009 § 0
So I made a little trip on Thursday to some of the galleries in Chelsea…
I saw the Amy Stein show at Clamp Art which was pretty great.
Went to Danziger Projects and saw the Edward Weston show, and the prints were really amazing.
Here I am about to be devoured by Gagosian…
Saw Helen van Meene’s work at Yancey Richardson.
Saw Simen Johan’s work at Yossi Milo.
and a cat in the hall behind the gallery…
And this work at Jim Kemper Fine Art, which was pretty interesting from the street…
Photography Book Now
September 24th, 2009 § 0
I’m in New York right now for the Photography Book Now meet-up. I wanted to mention the Grand Prize Winner Rafael Milach and his book Black Sea of Concrete which is pretty great, especially if you can look at the actual book.
I also wanted to feature some of the other books I saw while I was there. Ramin Talaie’s book, Where is My Vote is also really interesting. It is about the aftermath of the Iranian elections this year.
Kurt Tong won three awards in the contest, for his three books, People’s Park, In Case it Rains in Heaven, and my personal favorite Farewell in Labrador.
Other books I saw that were American Palimpsests, by Stacy Arezou Mehrfar, and Vanishing City by David McMillan.
Joel Sternfeld
September 24th, 2009 § 0
I’m probably way behind on this…but Joel Sternfeld has his own website now. I was excited to this because the Oxbow Archive work is up on this site, and aside from Aperture I haven’t seen this work in too many other places. The book of the work is available here, and it is worth buying…
Rivers and Tides

If you haven’t seen River and Tides, the documentary about Andy Goldsworthy, you should see it as soon as possible. Here is a sample.
Steve McQueen
September 19th, 2009 § 0
I was trying to find Steve McQueen’s film Gravesend today, with no luck. However, I came across this, by John Adderley which is completely different from McQueen’s work, but still really beautiful and captivating.
Karin Apollonia Müller

I really like the atmospheric perspective present in almost all of Karin Apollonia Müller’s work, especially the On Edge series.
Photography Book Now
September 10th, 2009 § 2
The Watershed book I published through blurb has received an honorable mention in this year’s photography.book.now contest.
Alec Soth at the High Museum
September 9th, 2009 § 0
I went to see Alec Soth’s show Black Line of Woods at the High Museum in Atlanta recently. The work looks great and it reminded me of his first series, Sleeping by the Mississippi.
