A Few Questions for Chris Verene

Posted on 19:21 by election
© Chris Verene, 2007I’ve been familiar with Chris Verene’s photographs since I started graduate school at the School of Visual Arts in 2006.

We tend to think of evolution as something that happens over millions of years, but there is evolutionary change happening right under our noses.
