Peter Merts
"I use photography to explore the unknown—or rather my own unknown. Not to discover new things, but to rediscover the old. For I believe that a scene or image affects us to the extent that it reminds us of something we already know—setting off that gasping intake of breath and striking a deep and visceral plangency of reconciliation with some lost knowledge or ineffable truth."

These images were made in one sitting during which Cunningham made close to three dozen exposures. Her models, Helen and Jackie Greaves, were not only sisters but artists as well.

Masao Yamamoto: A Box of Ku
Yamamoto's first monograph is a gorgeous collection of tokens and symbols, gleaned from the world in which he moves. We see a pool of tadpoles, a display of fireworks above the city horizon, and a dog immersed in shadow. Each of these particular moments stand as indicators of the universal principles which surround us, weaving an undeniable connectedness of all life. These signed copies are rare and won't last long.

Barbara P. Norfleet: Looking at Death
No one looking at this extraordinary book—a collection of over a hundred gripping yet strangely contemplative photographs—will ever again look at death in the same way. Arranged thematically, the work is far from the sensational anthologies that abound of late. Ideally, this well-thought out compilation is intended to draw us into a deeper appreciation of the gift of life. Printing by Stinehour Press lends an air of quiet and stately reflection to the entire endeavor.
