"I make photographs worthy of human spirit. To understand my work, the viewer agrees to enter a world of belief and wonder, of time and timelessness, of hope and fear in order to confront the heights and depths that form our lives.It is a privilege and great responsibility to devote to art. My vocation is to create totally personal and unique art, which is the transformation of my vision into photographs. I make the work in order to create contemporary images of human history. The subject of my photographs is the human soul." — Joel-Peter Witkin, September 2012

Two of the photographers included in our current exhibition SOLAR are guest artist Alan Friedman and Becky Ramotowski. Both photographers are amateur astronomers and are exploring the sun in very unique ways. We've just opened portfolios for each of these artists on the Photographer's Showcase and I have asked both Ramotowski and Friedman to tell us a little more about their backgrounds and unique processes. — Anne Kelly

Michael Abrams: Welcome to Springfield
"It's easy to lose track of all the Springfields. They populate the United States' landscape as the American ur-town - ubiquitous, instantly recognizable, yet mysteriously opaque in their sameness. Everywhere and nowhere, the very name seems to crystallize the American town. After all, there is a reason the town in The Simpsons is called Springfield. Michael Abrams' Welcome to Springfield is a startling collection of vernacular and found imagery that takes us into the dark heart of a fictitious Springfield of his own creation. Shifting through private and collective memories, Abrams reveals the mundane reality and repressed fantasies at the heart of a prototypical American town." — from Adam Bell's review of Welcome to Springfield by Michael Abrams

Picturing Atrocity
"Framed within a flexible definition of 'atrocity,' this edited volume of short essays commenting on a mixture of immediately recognizable images and less overtly traumatic photographs presents to the reader an opportunity to visually engage the remarkably blood-soaked record of the long twentieth century (without any visible blood). Although idiosyncratic, this volume would be equally at home on the bookshelf of the amateur scholar of photography or the syllabus of a visual studies course. The strength of the book lies in its diversity of authors: historians, essayists, cultural studies types, and photographers themselves. Thankfully, most of the essays are not jargon-laden, thus making the book interesting for the lay reader and exemplary for those who wish to write about photography." — from Kate Sampsell-Willmann's review of Picturing Atrocity, edited by Geoffrey Batchen, Mike Gidley, Nancy K. Miller & Jay Prosser.

Adam Fuss: Photogram
First edition, second printing, as new — shrink-wrapped copies of this gorgeous out-of-print monograph are now available at photo-eye. This book sells for as much as $75 online.
Known for his earlier work with pinhole cameras, this major monograph presents Adam Fuss' other lensless work: photograms. Made by placing objects in direct contact with photographic paper, photograms are the most primitive expression of the medium's capabilities. However in the work of artists like Man Ray and Moholy-Nagy, they have also been some of its most significant and meaningful. By making images in color and with a bizarre range of materials—including live snakes—Fuss took a giant leap forward from his predecessors, creating evocative images about the nature of photography itself. —the publisher READ MORE

Douglas Stockdale: Ciociaria
"Experiencing the tension of feeling like a foreigner in a land that is also somehow familiar, the Ciociaria region of central Italy provided an ideal landscape for the photographic wandering of Douglas Stockdale. Exploring the region over the course of nearly two years, his book Ciociaria published by Punctum Press presents a view of the Italian landscape that is often unseen. The images, selected by Marco Delogu, show a personal view of the region, a record of Stockdale's self-guided tour."
The limited editions of the book are simply packaged with one of two prints tucked in between the front cover and endpaper, held in an archival bag. Each limited edition is signed and numbered, with a little note by Stockdale denoting which edition the book is from.
Read Karen Jenkins' review of Ciociaria and the full blog post on photo-eye Blog. READ MORE
