  • One Light, One Wall

    Call it self-preservation, narcissism, artistic expression, or obsession, but artist/photographer/medical-device engineer Joseph Murawski’s series one light, one wall is highly addictive. Although primarily a painter, he has been regularly taking self-portraits against the bare wall of his basement since November 2005. Like countless obsessive self-portrait shooters, Murawski uses the same background, same camera (he started with a small Sony point-and-shoot, but upgraded to a Nikon D70 in March 2006), same light (a compact fluorescent), and, of course, the same subject.

Grant explains: “I felt boxed in by concepts such as ‘terminal illness,’ ‘damaged goods,’ ‘poz/neg.’ All I had to do was face a new direction and step out of the box.” Each contest photograph was accompanied by a similar explanation.

    The winning photographs from a contest to capture life lived with HIV/AIDS in images will be on display at New York's Grand Central Terminal for three day's only, through April 18. The 2006 Fight HIV Your Way Photography Contest, sponsored by the HIV drug Reyataz, honors photographs by people living with HIV/AIDS that visualize their relationship to the disease.

  • In the Shadow of the Wall

    The much-maligned Israeli Security Wall has been a faithful muse for photojournalists over the past couple of years, with countless photographers trying to bring some sense and understanding to the 400-mile long barrier separating Israelis and Palestinians.
