The exhibition, diane arbus: in the beginning, was curated by Jeff L. Rosenheim, Curator in Charge of the Department of Photographs at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Rosenheim commented, "Arbus's early photographs are wonderfully rich in achievement and perhaps as quietly riveting and ultimately controversial as the iconic images for which she is so widely known.” This fully illustrated catalogue - with two essays: "in the beginning" by Jeff L. Rosenheim and "notes from the archive" by Karan Rinaldo, Senior Research Assistant - accompanied the show. Hardcover, 256 pages. Ephemera: Neal Selkirk is the only person ever authorized to make posthumous prints of the work of Diane Arbus. Read My Interview with Neal Selkirk
Introduction by Elisabeth Biondi
Published by Damiani
"He takes wry photographs of fashion and the fashionable but without malice, he reveals robot-like models, multitasking make-up artists, a woman doing pushups on the sidelines. He truly enjoys pageantry, the foibles of the style conscious, and the over-the-top displays of vanity—they all make up the spectacle for him." - ELISABETH BIONDI

Nancy McCrary, SouthxSoutheast Photo Magazine Publisher and Editor-in-Chief: "Bill Yates arrived at my farm one day a couple of years ago. He was one of those “finds” you make on Facebook I probably would have never met otherwise. He was carrying a large, flat box full of a magical trip back to 1972, my teenage years. Bill spent his weekends during the better part of 1972-1973 photographing kids at a roller skating rink outside of Tampa, Florida and inside this box were the b/w prints he had produced, prints that had remained in a box for all these years. In the 70’s socializing in the rural areas of America was mostly a weekend event, the roller rink was where the action was - a stew of poorly controlled emotions and raging hormones, with some fashion thrown in for flair. Bill Yates captured a place and time with all its roughness and beauty, provoking contemplation and memories. Laurie Shock’s book design and Barbara Griffin’s photo editing make it flow as if you’re back there." – NANCY McCRARY

"Byrd M. Williams IV has compiled a fascinating look into 120 years of his family’s four generations of photographers in his monograph, Proof : Photographs from Four Generations of a Texas Family. He deftly captures the history, personality and individuality of each age, presenting all through the vernacular of photography. Williams time-travels through images that predate the Civil War, from cyanotypes and ambrotypes, to today's world of digital capture and ink jet prints.” – Elizabeth Avedon

Owner and Director:
Lisa Hostetler’s “A Matter of Memory: Photography as Object in the Digital Age” is my favorite book of the year. It’s a
comprehensive survey with impressive idiosyncratic additions of the most
recognizable and important movement in photography of the last decade. The
insightful text confirms Hostetler’s importance as curator and writer, while
it’s layout makes it a valuable reference as well as an easy and fun
read." - PAUL KOPEIKIN
"Susan S. Bank peels away the veneer from Havana, that maddening, mythical metropolis with one eye on the Florida Straits. An imaginary tropical urban paradise, Havana is flirtatious and consistently inconsistent. By-passing worn out clichés, Bank illuminates the invisible with her iconic, metaphorical black and white photographs.” Hardback, 128 pages. Photo-Eye Books

Lucy Kumara Moore, Director Claire de Rouen Books, London:
“Gentlemen presents a collection of staged
photographs of upper class English men in the private gentlemen's clubs
that surround St James's in London. Knorr describes these as 'the most
elite and exclusive enclaves of male power in Britain'. Taken between 1981 and
1983, the images foreground the semiology of language, architectural setting,
fashion and pose in relation to
aristocratic values. Gentlemen is
published by Stanley/Barker.” – LUCY KUMARA MOORE

Robin Hammond’s ‘My Lagos’ introduces us to the color, energy and chaos of
Africa’s largest city. An original Nollywood film poster wraps this beautifully designed book
delivering an authentic piece of the city to the audience. Full bleed color photographs take us on a journey
through bustling Lagos streets and into the homes of the rich, poor, and rising
middle class. ‘My Lagos’ opens our eyes to an Africa rarely seen in western
media. Placed over and between these views of Lagos is a series of large format
Polaroid portraits accompanied by quotes from the sitters themselves. A
businessman, an actor, a fisherman, a pastor, a prostitute speak of their hopes
and dreams in this city of strivers. ‘My Lagos’ is intense and bold....much like the city
itself. Editions Bessard
Reviving 19th-century photographic wet plate collodion processes, Spanish photographer Jacqueline Roberts long exposures required by the process, ease the subjects into detaching themselves from their immediate surroundings; they appear to the viewer almost as if suspended in time and in space. Nebula is a collection of portraits that capture the mist of psychological and emotional change in youth; a glimpse into their nascent sense of self. Hardback, 144 pages, 87 B+W plates
"Absence of Being is a haunting, intensely personal and yet extremely universal exploration of the subconscious world, which began with Susan Bernstine’s highly praised first monograph, Within Shadows. Burnstine captures images that purge her dreams. Finding no existing camera that could create what her mind envisioned, she began to experiment with building her own and molding her own lenses until she arrived at the prototype for the handmade cameras she continues to use. Hardback, 120 pages, 80 black-and-white images described as 21st-century impressionism.
