  • Christie's Photo Auction Wrap-Up

    Going into last night’s auction of Horst images at Christie’s, there was some question about whether collectors would pony up significant wads of cash for what were, essentially, modern prints.

When Philippe Garner, Christie’s International Director of Photography and 20th Century Arts, brought his gavel down to mark the sale, the entire room exhaled a pent-up tension.

  • Photo Stills, Nash & Young

    Before the Nash show went public, at a reception for the artist April 19, a swirl of photo aficionados surrounded Nash and friends in a festive gathering. I came to the party with a fresh appreciation of Nash's visual work, as it's part of a special issue that American Photo is putting together (July/August) about musicians who are serious photographers.

  • How To Copy Slides With A Point-and-Shoot Digital Camera

    In the years before digital I accumulated numerous slides and prints that now I want to preserve by saving then on a disc. I’ve found the following process to be an easy and effective way to copy a library of old pictures. And don’t worry if you don’t have a DSLR, all you’ll need is a digital point-and-shoot camera.

  • The Magazine Rack

    Editorial photography is alive and well, I'm happy to say. While it's getting nearly impossible to read the The New York Times Magazine these days, the publication remains a photographic destination. The portfolio by Richard Barnes in yesterday's edition was mind-boggling. The images show flight patterns of starlings over Rome.
