Baldomero Fernandez Photography by Lost At E Minor
We asked New York-based photographer Baldomero Fernandez about his Cuba series and whether there was a particular mood that he was looking to capture. He comments, "usually I tend to photograph quiet scenes that are empty and have a feeling of solitude. The surreal part that comes through is usually more because of anachronisms, or maybe something is just out of place. It's not straightforward surrealism. Reality usually tends to be far stranger than fiction."

An Interview with Lisa Kereszi
Dubbed "visual poetry" by Stephen Shore, New York-based photographer Lisa Kereszi is known for her prints of ordinary places in lush, deeply saturated colors. In her current show, Kereszi's subjects are spaces—strip joints, fortune telling parlors, theaters—that aspire to transcend the everyday.

Avedon Fashion: 1944-2000
Of the many insights to be gleaned from the upcoming exhibition at the International Center of Photography featuring the work of Richard Avedon's work from 1944-2000, I found it particularly fascinating that the photographer would forge such intense connections with his subjects that he would often leave sittings feeling embarrassed over what they shared. The show explores these intimate relationships and his many contributions...

Cameron Martin: Analogue
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...
