Now in his third book, Across the Ravaged Land, Brandt has taken his stately images to the next level, exposing a darker vision. These extraordinary photographs, shot between 2010 and 2012, are haunting. Through the series of dried and calcified animals out on a weathered and ravaged land, elephants watching protectively over an elephant skull, or lion and buffalo heads mounted on posts as trophies overlooking the Chyulu Hills of Kenya, Brandt brings us full circle back to a solemn close to his trilogy of books documenting the disappearing natural world and animals of East Africa." – Elizabeth Avedon (photo-eye)

INDIE PHOTOBOOK LIBRARY EXHIBITION: Traveled to Photoville

The Indie Photobook Library’s seminal traveling exhibition, curated by Larissa Leclair and Darius Himes, opened at Brooklyn's Photoville, after stops in San Francisco and DC. “A Survey of Documentary Styles in early 21st century Photobooks” draws from the iPL collection and features 70 photobooks, along with a selection of photographs from the books. The exhibition looks at the “documentary tradition” through the lens of a 21st century, global photographic community in which the lines between journalism, art and the long-term documentary project have blurred, morphed and continue to feed off of each other.
The books selected for this exhibition present a range of subject matter, each coupled with a particular visual language drawn from a pool of diversity. There are books that speak a more traditional documentary language, while there are those that explicitly critique that very same tradition; there are diaristic books and titles that overlay a typological structure; other books rely primarily on found and vernacular imagery; and there are many books that borrow heavily from an art-photography storehouse. The goal of this exhibition is to survey the field before us and to foreground questions of authorship, voice, style and content.

...in 1992, Keith made “Fireflies,” in my view his first truly great, truly transcendent image. It is a photograph of two young boys in a creek bottom. They are leaning over a jar held between them. Light glows from inside the jar – the magic light of the fireflies the boys had captured at dusk on that warm summer evening. It is a picture of your brother and you. It is a picture of all of us when were still new in the world, still able to be mesmerized by the most ordinary and daily of things. It is a picture to conjure memories that in most of us have lain dormant for an eternity – remembrances of having once been at one with the natural world. Only a glance at “Fireflies” and we’re back there again, our eyes full of wonder, walking barefoot through that continuous miracle that is life, and we are exalted by the experience. That is what art at its most sublime can do –from an Essay by Bill Wittliff

FIREFLIES: Photographs of Children: "In Fireflies, Keith Carter presents a magical gallery of photographs of children and the world they inhabit. The collection includes both new work and iconic images such as "Fireflies," "The Waltz," "Chicken Feathers," "Megan's New Shoes," and "Angel" selected from all of Carter's rare and out-of-print books. When making these images, Carter often asked the children, "do you have something you would like to be photographed with?" This creative collaboration between photographer and subject has produced images that conjure up stories, dreams, and imaginary worlds. Complementing the photographs is an essay in which Carter poetically traces the wellsprings of his interest in photographing children to his own childhood experiences in Beaumont, Texas. As he recalls days spent exploring in the woods and creeks, it becomes clear that his art flows from a deep reservoir of sights and sounds imprinted in early childhood. –from the University of Texas Press

"Their book guides travelers through layers of time, exploring major sites and revealing insider secrets. Written in a brisk, anecdotal style, this beautifully illustrated handbook is packed with photographs, historical drawings, sidebars, foldout maps, and floor plans.

Irina and Children, 2008 (c) Richard Renaldi/All rights reservedRICHARD RENALDI graduated from New York University in 1990 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. He is now one of the most renowned young portrait photographers working today. His first book, Figure and Ground, was published by Aperture. "Renaldi’s work melds two classic photographic genres—portrait and straight landscape—into a single descriptive frame that speaks as much to a sense of the individuals before the lens as it does to the spaces they inhabit. The omnivorous film-plane of Renaldi’s 8-by-10 camera embraces not only the individuals directly in front of it, but the environment that encompasses them as well. If there is truly a center to the American social landscape, it can be found here, in Renaldi’s precisely rendered portraits." (Aperture Foundation)

Photograph by Garry Winogrand of Tod Papageorgehelping a lady across the street, with Paul McDonough on the right
PAUL McDONOUGH documented life in New York City in 35mm black and white during the late 60's and early 70's. His images capture the "improv theater" feel the city streets had at that time. His introduction into the photography scene, including workshops with Garry Winogrand, came through fellow photographer Tod Papageorge. It's probably fair to say Papageorge influenced McDonough to get into photography after his earlier career as a studio painter. They had known each other literally since kindergarten and grade school. When Tod was 12, his family moved to a house just across the street from Paul's.
In the late 60's and 70's, you would find McDonough, Tod Papageorge, Garry Winogrand and Joel Meyerowitz in the Museum of Modern Art cafe deep in discussion. Before the 2000 MOMA expansion that now brings visitors in by the hordes, the MOMA cafe and sculptor garden was the nicest place in NYC to hang out over coffee. Beautifully designed by Philip Johnson, it had just the right atmosphere. On any given day you could find yourself sitting next to Cartier-Bresson at one table and sculptor Claes Oldenburg at another.
McDonough has been the recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation. His work is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, the Dreyfus Corporation and many other public and private collections. He's taught photography at Yale University, Pratt Institute, Cooper Union, Parsons School of Design and Fordham University. Expect Paul McDonough's book New York, 1968-1978 to be published by Umbrage Editions in 2010.

But in the meantime, if you are an artist, the art just comes - whether you like it or not- because you can't stop it.
