Shawn Mortensen: Out of Mind
(10 April 2007) - A “zelig” in the world of photography and portraiture, Shawn Mortensen has amazing intuition proven by his ability to be at the right places at the right time. His eye for talent has created iconic images of “stars” often years before the media or public takes notice. What distinguishes Mortensen's portraits is their intimacy, emotion and sense of humor. Clearly, his subjects trust him....

Kerry Skarbakka
(03 April 2007) - Kerry Skarbakka makes images that allow him to let go of it all. To make the photographs in his series "The Struggle to Right Oneself," he harnesses himself to ropes and pulleys that keep him from hitting the ground. He then photographs himself as he hurls his body off of buildings and cliffs (often repeatedly), and digitally erases the safety devices from the pictures....

Kevin Cooley
(27 March 2007) - Kevin Cooley’s photographs of planes taking off and landing look like scenes from a sci-fi adventure filmed in suburban America. Made by using very long exposure times, his pictures show houses that glow in the twilight and streaks of explosive lights and sparks that illuminate the sky. It’s as if ray-guns are being fired from outer-space and landing in our backyards. Also check out...

An Interview with Lisa Kereszi
(22 March 2007) - 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.

Bears by Kent Rogowski
(14 March 2007) - Like a slightly twisted version of something Hallmark might produce, NYC photographer Kent Rogowski's new book, simply titled Bears, is a series of portraits featuring teddybears that have been turned inside out and re-stuffed shot "Avedon-style" (as the book's publisher Sara Rosen put it) . The effect—bears that are distorted, lumpy and totally bizarre looking—is as creepy as it is compelling. Rife with nostalgia...

Thomas Allen
(02 March 2007) - If you love pop-up books and trashy pulp-fiction book covers, then you're sure to love these pictures by Thomas Allen. By taking an X-acto knife to the pages of vintage books and manipulating the images, he is able to make two-dimensional characters come to life by playing with lighting, angles and focus. The books’ wrinkled and worn pages, as well as their crumbling spines...
