Photographer Yoav Horesh states about his book “Monument”, “As an artist and an educator with a long history of interest in and previous work done around the topics of memory, memorials, monuments and trauma in The Middle East, Europe, Asia, and America, I found myself driving more than 12 hours to Richmond, Virginia to photograph dozens of Confederate monuments and the civil unrest in this southern state capital.
It was a sudden and an urgent matter as these statues were in the process of losing their ground amongst a heated debate about their visual content, purpose, locations, and future…”

“The cemetery seizes your mind. After wandering around here for three years, I’d pretty much lost the need to take pictures, but kept returning, the last time to search for the gravestones and statues in the pictures I’d already taken” Eugene Richards writes in the afterward of his new book, “Remembrance Garden – A Portrait of Green-Wood Cemetery”. Besides presenting a collection of the photographs he took over that period, the book includes several personal remembrances as well as a collection of the epitaphs he encountered. The epitaphs cover the full history of the cemetery and range from LIEUT. CLAUTON SHOLES, Born May 10, 1832 Died in Battle of Bull Run July 21 1861 to JEAN-MICHEL BASQUITAT Artist Dec 1960 Aug 1988.

When you Google the name Garry Winogrand and select the images tag, you see dozens of his iconic black and white images. Only if you take the time scroll far down the page do you start to see a few color images. I know that my perception of his work was always based on his classic black and white photographs. Winogrand Color, offers Winogrand fans a collection of rarely, if ever, seen color images.

I’ve been fortunate to know visionary photographer, Olivia Parker for several decades. I’ve always been fascinated by her ability to create new and unique bodies of work. Throughout her career, she has never been shy about taking her work in new directions. At a recent studio visit, I saw this series of work and was knocked out by its boldness. I asked Olivia if she would be willing to have an exhibition featuring the series at Curry College and she was kind enough to agree. Alison Poor-Donahue and I co-curated the exhibition titled "Olivia Parker - Persephone's Graffiti". Info and images are here.

When I first assumed the position of Executive Director of Boston’s premier fine arts photography organization, I made a list of the people that I felt should be on our lecture schedule. Bruce Davidson was one of the top names on my list. His lecture was one of the most insightful and inspirational that the organization ever presented. Bruce Davidson: The Way Back will be on view at Howard Greenberg Gallery from June 22 through September 16, 2023. Selected by the acclaimed photographer from his vast archive, the exhibition will present previously unpublished work dating from 1957-1977. Info and images are here.

Andrea Gjestvang spent six years photographing on the Faroe Islands documenting the men who are referred to as “Atlantic Cowboys”, men who live in a primarily male society making a very demanding living off the sea and the land. Info and images are here.

This is an amazing book on many levels. I recommend Gordon Parks, Pittsburgh Grease Plant, 1944-1946 to anyone who is interested in seeing brilliant editorial photography by one of its masters.
It expanded my knowledge and appreciation of his work and his contribution to documenting the Black American experience. As a photo book designer, I also recommend it to anyone interested in learning how best to present the work of a photographer and how to document an editorial assignment from conception through execution.
