Just when you think you understand the size of the photographic universe a surprise shows up that astounds. I received an email from William Greiner yesterday letting me know he had run into my work through a friend. Seems the two of us have been walking somewhat parallel paths for a bunch of years. Why we never crossed paths is a mystery given mutual friends and similar photographic concerns. I sure like his stuff, especially Home Front, Snapshot and his Blog. Have a look.

Behind the Seen: Photographs of Abe Morell

The second time I have seen and written about an Abe Morell exhibition in two months; this time at YUAG in New Haven.  There are about 40 pictures up including some of his very recent color work done in museums (as Doran Artist in Residence at YUAG) and camera obscura. The show is up through Aug 10.

The guy just continues to make first rate stuff.

James Rajotte, student and now colleague has also been selected and has nearly sold out his edition on Jen Bekman’s 20×200.  Great for James and great for Jen.   His work is worth a look.

James is off to Frenchtown, PA (read middle of no where) for three weeks of photo concentration.  I’ll post something form this effort as soon as available.

Myra Greene makes good art. She is currently campaigning a fine large group of colodian plates from the series Character Recognition. She has cast her net wide and is reaping the benefits of her hard work. See it if you can.

First Luke Strosnider then Kirby Pilcher, both students and friends at VSW were selected for Jen Bekman’s 20×200 program and both have sold out their editions. Yay. Proud.

Chicago photographer Brad Temkin‘s work is beautiful, monumental work from Iceland. Really quite lovely.

Renaldi has a terrific site with some excellent work.
