Silhouettes, distance and […]

Steven B. Smith Work from The Weather and a Place to Live. “…His work is by turns humorous and piteous, elegiac and ironic, and cumulatively very powerful for he has shaped an essay from aesthetically elegant, delicately nuanced pictures that are pitch perfect, in the spirit of the American West and in keeping with its […]

Gary Beydler Work from Hand Held Day. “”Beydler’s magical Hand Held Day is his most unabashedly beautiful film, but it’s no less complex than his other works.
