Cool Hunting
This Thursday, when the smoke from independence day fireworks has cleared across the US, the celebration of America will continue on with the opening of William Christenberry Photographs, 1961-2005 at the Aperture Gallery in New York. As a pioneer in the field of color photography, Christenberry has faithfully articulated the regional identity of the South over the last four decades. The exhibition includes fifty photographs and one sculpture and highlights his passion for capturing "real things in the real world" with breathtaking images of abandoned cars, dilapidated barns, and quiet back roads in Hale county, Alabama where he grew up. Christenberry returned to many of the same locations every year and his work chronicles the powerful physical evolutions imposed by the passage of time. The exhibition at Aperture is also accompanied by the release of a brilliant monograph surveying the progression of his work with many previously unpublished images.
Opening reception with the artist on 6 July 2006 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. The show runs from 7 July - 17 August 2006, and the catalog is available for $35.

Acting like a reverse paparazzo, Sammy Davis Jr. used his position within the Hollywood elite to collect images for his own personal viewing. Rarely without a camera at hand, Davis snapped pictures of his famous friends, as well scenes from his private life. Perhaps more significantly, he also captured huge historical moments from his role endorsing political campaigns and as a key figure in...
by Tamara WarrenFresno, CA-born photographer Tony Stamolis’ new book "Frezno" examines life in California’s sixth largest city with vivid, stark and honest imagery. Stamolis captures his hometown, once a beacon of booming surburbia, with a seedy, fluorescent pallor. The cover shot—two shirtless youths wearing KISS-inspired makeup and black jeans and standing under high-voltage electricity towers—sets the tone for Stamolis’s return-to-home pictorial essay. Other images...
For a totally unique look at quintessential Americana from the other side of the pond, take a look at Peter Granser's witty and stimulating color images in Coney Island. Grasner, generally interested themes surrounding societal taboos such as illness and aging, turned his sights toward the mythic New York beach/amusement park where he interprets the decline and survival of the American middle class over...
Part concept, part traditional monograph, Cameron Martin's "Analogue," published by Ghava{Press}, is an engaging study of man's relationship with nature and his shifting notions of the sublime. At its heart, the book is a compelling amalgamation of grand landscape imagery that includes appropriated advertisements, travel snapshots, found images and studio photos, juxtaposed with Martin's own haunting paintings of barren landscapes. Eschewing the typical devices of...
Curiously, for someone releasing a retrospective photography tome, Elizabeth Peyton doesn't consider herself a photographer. But throughout the painter's two-decade career, photographs have played an integral role in the genesis of her intimate, expressive paintings (which were the subject themselves of a recent major retrospective at NY's New Museum). Particularly with her early paintings, the final product came from the snapshots she incessantly took....
With photographs and interviews by Jonathan Torgovnik, the book and exhibition "Intended Consequences: Rwandan Children Born of Rape" is a collection of personal accounts of thirty female survivors of the Rwandan genocide that took place 15 years ago. Subjected to sexual violence by members of the Hutu militia groups, these women all bore children as a result, and many were exposed to HIV and...
