Benjamin Stern Work from the series Topologies. “Spring begins in Wisconsin when the snow starts to melt off the fields, and the streams flood their banks. During these times, I remember running up and down the hill by my house as the cars occasionally drove by. Spring was the time I tried to control the […]

Esteban Pastorino Diaz Diaz’s work with a kite and shift plane focus was some of the first work that I saw turning reality into a scale model diorama of life.

I am very glad I quit before I saw her models, because they put mine to shame. “The line between truth and illusion in photography is one that has been frequently crossed by […]

Jamie Lund Works from the series Memory and My Loss in Your Gain.

Both sets of work shown here involve family snapshots / memories gilded or […]

Wolin Work from the series From All Sides: American and Vietnamese War Veterans. “I initially began photographing and conducting videotape interviews of Vietnam War veterans in 1992 during my year as a Guggenheim Fellow.
