  • Joel Peter Witkin Imagines Bush's "Ship of Fools"

    The art world has come to expect any number of grotesqueries in the work of Joel Peter Witkin. The Albuquerque-based fine-art photographer built his reputation with images containing cadavers, hermaphrodites, and various human and animal organs, all of which, somehow, were transformed into profoundly beautiful (if shocking) compositions. So the Witkin image here may come as a kind of revelation. As far as we know, this is the first time it’s been seen in the United States. I present the image with a warning, however: Supporters of George W. Bush may want to look away.

  • Pictures of Lily

    Since her alluring US television debut on Saturday Night Live in February, British pop star du jour Lily Allen has shown a mastery of time-honored Brit-rock traditions: catching ears and stirring up trouble. Allen's infectious debut album Alright, Still and current single Smile are red-hot in the States (or at least in our humble circles) after topping the British charts in 2006.

  • The Future of Copyright

    There's been plenty of copyright news to read about lately, what with the suit by Viacom against YouTube and its owner, Google. I've been following the suit partly because I enjoy watching clips of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart (owned by Viacom's Comedy Central property) on YouTube. But I'm also interested because the basic issues behind the suit have relevance to all matters of copyright. Today's New York Times has a brilliant analysis of the suit by business columnist Joe Nocera.

  • Charles Traub's Advice for Young Photographers

    Last Tuesday night I was privileged to be part of a panel discussion about photography at the Aperture Foundation in New York. The nominal topic of the discussion was supposed to have been the confluence of art and commerce, but everybody really wanted to talk about strategies for young photographers to get started in the field. No one had better advice than our panel leader, Charles Traub (left), a talented photographer whose day job is being chairman of the School of Visual Arts’s photography MFA program.

  • The Simple Photo Life

    As we begin work on our annual survey of new photo products (see the 2006 installment), I'd like to register a formal complaint. I have already tried a number of this year's contenders—I won't name names, yet—and while they mostly perform as advertised, it has been a pain in the neck to get some of them to do what they're supposed to do.

    In the classical category, two genuinely gorgeous series stand out: Angelika Rinnhofer, who re-imagines Renaissance portraits in photography (above), and Bert Teunissen, whose images of ancient European dwellings thrive on the careful lighting favored by the Dutch master painters.
