Highway 40 Quebec-Montreal Here are 15 photos from a series of 32 "chronicling" a trip from Quebec City to Montreal on Highway 40 at sunset. I took advantage of the fact that I wasn't the driver to photograph the landscape along the highway, using relatively slow exposure times to obtain deliberate abstractions. The effect varies according to the nature, variety and distance of the vegetation that borders it, but also…

Masks Having discovered Venice outside of the carnival festivities, I toured the workshops and boutiques of the artisans, the real ones who make things made in Venice. Whether they are made of leather, wood, plaster, papier-mâché, painted, decorated with stones, jewels or feathers, they are true works of art. A long time ago the main function of the mask was to preserve anonymity, allowing its owner to play a role…
Paths My paths are a starting point. They are a collection of the fascination I feel when I discover them... Paths hide a thousand possibilities; they can open up a new path or close another. Paths get lost or they find each other again. There are those who no longer offer a way out, those who are a birth, those who destroy themselves, and those who discover a new heaven.…

Mercurial Alchemists believe in the ultimate unity of matter and spirit; the direct correlation that exists between the tangible physical world (the Body) and the immaterial realm of consciousness (the Soul). To them, the human Mind is the special place in the cosmos that stands in between the two, and is thus able to conceive them not as separate, but rather as parallels on different dimensions. As Above, So Below:…

Christian Caujolle and Cambodian photography relationship is about commitment.

A book about about time could seek to illustrate Einstein’s special theory of relativity by picturing clocks and observers travelling at speeds approaching that of light as compared to measurements of time within an Earth-based frame of reference. Gail Rebhan’s interest in time, however, is not related to physicists’ thought experiments but to the temporal passage of humdrum domestic life. In Sequential Still Life (1981) uninteresting moments in daily life…

Best known for her penetrating images exploring what it means to be human, Diane Arbus (1923 -1971) is a pivotal and singular figure in American postwar photography. Arbus’s black-and-white photographs demolish aesthetic conventions and upend all certainties. Both lauded and criticized for her photographs of people deemed “outsiders,” Arbus continues to be a lightning rod for a wide range of opinions surrounding her subject matter and approach. Through an assemblage…
Terry LaRue, living in Seattle, Washington, is an artist that uses photography and printmaking to explore his inner struggles with chronic pain, depression and addiction. In 2014, he was diagnosed with a rare pain condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, considered the most painful thing anyone can experience. Anything that touches his skin can cause him excruciating pain. For the next three years, he would dive deeper into depression as…
Thanks to their aesthetic precision and intellectual acumen the photographic images of postwar ruins captured by Karl Hugo Schmölz (1917-1986) are an outstanding example of how a photo-documentary commission can become an artistic work of the highest order. The photography of Schmölz (father and son) now justifiably enjoys worldwide acclaim for an objective language of imagery that lends individual value to each detail that makes up the whole. This quality…
This is the twenty-second dialogue in the Ettore Molinario Collection. A tribute to one of the greatest Italian photographers, Lisetta Carmi, on her birthday, February 15th. Free spirit, « person » without male and female roles that could decide her fate, Lisetta has looked at the community of transvestites like no one did before her and like few would do later. And such a free woman, perhaps, would have been…

This month the work is being celebrated by both a gallery exhibition and a Broadway show.

For a few days, I traveled through SF, San Francisco for friends, beautiful Frisco, the flagship of California, the richest state in the United States. What I saw there, me, had nothing of Golden, nor Glamor. This is perhaps the role, the duty, of the photographer: to see what others do not see. This city filled me with horror and deep sadness: SF is a city where you step over…
This is one of the most unexpected portfolios we have recovered: Graveyard flowers! It was accompanied by these few sentences from photographer Peter B Leighton.

They liberally adorn the graves of the prosperous and poor alike. It is written in an Ecuadorian folk song, in fact,…

“Because his photos are cousins to mine, because in his memory there are twin residues of mine, he speaks to me as if I were his brother. Jacques Henri Lartigue, The Eye of Memory, 1932-1985 In the early 1960s, the Museum of Modern Art in New York devoted monographic exhibitions to two photographers: Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894-1986) and André Kertész (1894 -1985). One qualified as "the greatest amateur of the 20th…
