  • The Big Prices for Art in 2006

    The art world needs more reporters like Stephen Perloff, the editor of The Photograph Collector. His newsletter is a must-read for art buyers and sellers. But what I like is the writing.

Or maybe Halloween just bewitched everyone.

  • Welcome to New York, Todd Heisler

    Like any good essay, Heisler pulls of the informational pictures in but he also manages to capture the emotional moments and some telling detail shots, such as one nice floor scene showing splattered blood, a discarded shoe and a doctor's bare foot working what appears to be some sort of foot pedal. The essay comes with a graphic content warning, but it's not greusome in the least.


    Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Todd Heisler has contributed his first major essay for the New York Times since joining the paper's photo staff earlier this fall.

  • Inspirational Light

    On Monday, the photo world lost one of its beloved personalities, Ruth Bernhard. Famously inspired by Edward Weston to take her photography seriously, the 101-year-old German-born photographer was a contemporary of Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham and a teacher of Michael Kenna. Yet her name does not reside on the tip of most people's tongues, as these do. Her Stephen White, Berhard's photography dealer in L.

  • The High Risk Photographer

    With the explosion of reality TV in recent years photographers are finally beginning to get their due.

  • No Boys Allowed

    Jen Bekman seems to always be in the lead. We named her one of our photography innovators for her inventive integration of Web culture and gallery culture. Her exhibitions are solicited and entered entirely online, and she recently set up a virtual gallery inside the virtual universe of Second Life. Tomorrow, Jen Bekman Gallery, in real life, will be on the cutting edge once again, as it hosts the inaugural show for the new non-profit arts organization The Dreier Project.

    Wow, who are you going to root for in this battle of titans? The self-promoting, self-righteous gossip blogger who “borrows” paparazzi photos for his own uses, or the Los Angeles paparazzi agency whose photographers hunt down witless and often panty-less celebrities who party it up a little too much?

  • The Sexy Model is Back

    I wasn’t aware that she’d ever gone away, actually. But if the experts at models.com say it’s so, who are we to argue? The website, which is a must-read for anyone in the fashion and modeling worlds, has posted it’s list of of the moment. Who’s number one? Hint: She’s German, and she’s the star of her own TV show.--David Schonauer
