Sketches of Spain
Posted on 09:05 by election
© Irving PennIf not for the decades of cocaine and hard partying that took his life in 1991, Miles Davis would have turned 81 yesterday. I can't offer anything new about the man or his numerous contributions to the development of modern music that haven't already been postulated and debated ad nauseam, so I won't even try. I mention Miles' birthday only because we are about to head to

© Zoe StraussSaturday we hit up Chelsea to see Kelli Connell's show at Yossi Milo and Elijah Gowin at Robert Mann. Great stuff, but we were really just biding our time waiting for the main event: Zoe Strauss' big solo show, If You Reading This, at Silverstein Gallery.Zoe's prints looked great and the images were all very strong. And, there was a decidedly un-Chelsea feel to the festivities. It

Critical Mass Results Announced
Posted on 16:49 by election
© Lori Nix 1999The results are in for Photolucida's Critical Mass Book Award and I am one of the five finalists for the softbound monograph prize. Two of the five finalists will be selected and Photolucida will publish monographs of their work. I believe the plan is to put us in a steel cage with rusty spoons and the last two standing get the prize. I'm scrappy and focused, so look out,

Benefit for Do You Know What It Means Project
Posted on 18:04 by election
As some of you may know, I have spent the past year working as Executive Director of the Do You Know What It Means project.

Pro or Con?
Posted on 20:23 by election
© Amy Stein 2002An interesting discussion about my Women and Guns series is taking place on the bulletin board, TheHighRoad.org. The site says that it is "dedicated to the discussion and advancement of responsible firearms ownership." Ignoring the thread about the quality of the photos (they kick ass, thank you), the members of The High Road can't seem to decide if the photos are anti-gun. Do
This Blog Thing
Posted on 08:25 by election
I started this blog thing a year ago mainly as a means to post periodic updates about my emerging photography career. At the time I was knee deep in grad school, so I wasn't so much emerging as abiding. Over the months I started posting one-off photos and work that didn't quite make it into the portfolio. I also began to write a little less about my favorite subject (me!) and a little more

Mission Accomplished
Posted on 09:09 by election
Four years ago today our president strode cocksure on to the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln and declared, "my fellow Americans, major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." Four years later we are on the eve of the president vetoing the Iraq spending bill that sets timetables for withdrawal. Four years later with
