The Island is a new book published by British artist-photographer Robert Darch. Originally conceived as a response to Brexit, the poetic black and white photographs convey the heaviness that he felt and reflect Robert’s anxieties and fears about … Continue reading The Island by Robert Darch
The Published Works: 1997-2022 by Marc Sirinsky
“This year marks the 25th anniversary of my first published images. To celebrate, I’ve put together a softcover book that includes a compendium of works published between 1997-2022.

Dessert First! by Hanna Quevedo
The photo book-zine hybrid you’ve been waiting for Dessert First! has been the example I’ve been comparing against other photography book-zine’s for the past year. This project was a reminder of how fun it can be to make something with photographs, found art, text, ephemera, and a stretchy band to keep all that goodness inside. Like a live wire, Hanna Quevedo’s vibe will grab you … Continue reading Dessert First! by Hanna Quevedo
Mountaintops to Moonscapes / Oil Sands / Tar Sands by Alan Gignoux
I was generously asked to review a trio of books by Alan Gignoux recently. Alan’s images and featured interviews in his books Oil Sands and Tar Sands show the effects of petroleum industry impact on the land of Alberta, Canada. Many aerial photos depict the surface of Alberta scraped clean of anything green and growing. Some pages in Oil Sands have little pockets bound on … Continue reading Mountaintops to Moonscapes / Oil Sands / Tar Sands by Alan Gignoux

Tara Wray captures emotional complexity of the pandemic in ‘Year of the Beast’
Year of the Beast is a photo diary of 2020 featuring scenes from life in rural Vermont, under a looming specter of doom. It isn’t a book about the pandemic. It’s a record of a specific time and place as seen through the eyes of one photographer, but with universal themes and universal appeal. “I can’t put this work out without first acknowledging that this has been … Continue reading Tara Wray captures emotional complexity of the pandemic in ‘Year of the Beast’

Little Romances by Jordanna Kalman
Jordanna Kalman photographs prints of her own photographs, and they become a physical object. She surrounds them with elements from her garden or other personal items. This is done not to evoke nostalgia or sentimentality but to deepen her physical connection and/or claim to the images and distance them from the viewer. Kalman poses questions to herself about what it means to be a woman. … Continue reading Little Romances by Jordanna Kalman
