Karsten Lund did an amazing job of curating a strong group exhibition that was true to the theme and full of individually interesting...

Posted on 10:50 by election

As Jonathan Richman sang, "if you've been in New York city in July you know when I say sticky I'm right." If you are looking to transport yourself from the muggy muss of the city to something a little more pastoral, I suggest you head over to the Jen Bekman Gallery for the...

© Doug DuBoisDuring a holiday visit to Southern California in 2006 I saw the Where We Live: Photographs of America from the Berman Collection at the Getty.

Bunny Hops to F-Stops, Part Two
Posted on 08:31 by election
© Scott HaefnerA couple of months ago I pointed out the strange correlation that seems to suggest riding BMX is an earlier indicator of latent fine art photography skills.

Posted on 17:22 by election
Groceries, 2007 © Amy SteinI was in New York City just long enough to catch my breath and now I am in Syracuse starting my month long artist-in-residence with Light Work.
