Rachel Hulin wrote to me and a bunch of other photographers in late 2009 to ask, "What's your standout image from 2009?" I went with Renaissance, one of the images from As A Real House. Earlier this week, Rachel posted the final piece with all the images.
I really enjoyed the stories behind the pictures - lots of very personal moments - and it was a treat having my work up there. The post also features the work and stories of Elinor Carucci, Finn O'Hara, Rebecca Greenfield, Dan Saelinger, Glenn Glasser, Emily Nathan, Landon Nordeman, Nick Cobbing, Joshua Lutz, and Cameron Davidson. The pictures featured range in their origin, though it feels heavy on editorial work to me, perhaps because I am not (generally) an editorial photographer. The mix of different "purposes" of photographs raises interesting questions about photography, and the many "hows" surrounding a photograph's initial creation.

The Metropolis February 2010 issue is now online and includes a mini I wrote, an incredibly brief review of Robert Polidori's intense, vast, weighty new Steidl collaboration, Parcours Muséologique Revisité. The story, Grand Obsession, can be read here. There is no byline, unfortunately, but I did write it.

I've published a slideshow of the wonderful Christoph Gielen's series, Arcadia, on the Metropolis POV. The slideshow is a "web extra" to accompany one of Christoph's photographs which we published along with the What's Next article in our February 2010 issue, available on the Metropolis website now.

My work is featured in Issue #3 of the online magazine SuperMassiveBlackHole. Please visit the website to download the issue in print or screen format.
Note: my work is incorrectly titled in the magazine - the images have titles but are labeled as "Untitled" which is wrong.

Miles from Home
The Bakery Artspace
18 Garden Street, Rhinebeck NY
In the group show Miles From Home, twelve artists explore the fragmentary and shifting nature of the world around them in correlation to their own development as a newly established collective of creative individuals. The typical notion of "home" is one of safety and stability; but "home," particularly now, is subjective, constantly changing, and often based on illusory memories.
Within this realm of uncertainty, these artists utilize the photographic medium to explore the roles that risk play in their lives and work. An artist coming into their own at any time faces the unknown, gazes into the void, and takes a risk by plunging in, by making work, by not giving into society's obvious structures, and by creating their own community within which to create, inspire, and take chances. As the models around us undergo a series of great shifts—in the economy, in the art market, in technology, in distribution modes, in communication itself—these artists see themselves presented with opportunity.
This collection of work does not try to provide answers, or to prophesy the future. Rather, these artists are building their own maps, creating their own pathways through the world and their work, and seeking the roads that will move them forward. They are taking hold of an unpredictable future with a firmer grasp, this show being the first result of their collective strength and inspiration.
Participating artists:
Erica Allen
Rachel Barrett
Clayton Cotterell
Jade Doskow
J. Alan Hamill
Ben Handzo
Allison Kaufman
