	New Histories of Photography: Brett Weston Exhibition at The Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, NM "Brett Weston seemed destined from birth to become one of our greatest American photographic artists. Born in Los Angeles in 1911, the second son of photographer Edward Weston, he had perhaps the closest artistic relationship with his famous father of all four of the Weston sons. In 1925, Edward removed Brett from school and took him to Mexico where the fourteen year old became his father's apprentice."—The Museum of Fine Arts. Exhibition open through April 7, 2003.
	Brett Weston: Master Photographer This beautiful monograph distinctly addresses each of the six decades of Weston's working life through a selection of fifteen photographs. Each set of images is accompanied by a critical essay detailing the artist's life and important influences during that ten year period. An important book for any collection on landscape photography.

	Jack Kotz: Ms. Booth's Garden Join us for a book signing with the photographer today, Friday, August 2nd, from 5 to 7pm at the photo-eye bookstore in Santa Fe. Need directions? The photographs in Ms. Booth's Garden are the culmination of twenty years of work by nationally renowned photographer Jack Kotz. They present a poignant and deeply personal look at both a changing rural landscape and the graceful way with which a strong and independent woman adapts her lifestyle to those changes while accepting the new parameters of her old age. Kotz's images are of things and ways, old and new. There are portraits of the aged and the youthful, and landscapes that reflect timelessness amidst change.

© Gonzalo Rufatt	Gonzalo Rufatt Created over the past five years, the metaphors portfolio depicts women as ancient archetypes that manifest themselves in our everyday lives. The use of selective focus gracefully shorns the image of individual details, in effect blending the distinct figures into "one woman." From many to one and back again—this effect is meant to heighten a sense of personal and emotional connection to every woman. Rufatt's solo exhibition metaphors opens at the Bar-B Lounge in Santa Fe tonight, Friday, August 2nd from 6 to 8 pm. View Gonzalo Rufatt's portfolio. Visit all three photo-eye online Galleries.

Terri Weifenbach and John Gossage: Snake Eyes
It would be well-nigh impossible to overstate the beauty of this book, as it would be to overstate Weifenbach’s embrace of the beautiful in her photographs. She moves calmly and deliberately in and among the roads, trees and flowers of this tiny Italian town. And along comes Mr. Gossage, her husband, her traveling companion, and her photographic antithesis. The counter-point provided by Gossage’s rich b&w “clues” are perfectly chosen, commenting on Weifenbach’s rich color images, as hers discuss his. Again, one cannot overstate the beauty and importance of a dialogue such as this. Only 500 copies, each with an original color print tipped onto the cover, will go fast.
