Photographer and part-time educator, Kevin Miyazaki, has created THE BIG LIST [567 & GROWING] OF PHOTOGRAPHER AND PHOTO INDUSTRY INTERVIEWS on MIAD-FA382. It's a fantastic Resource - a must-see-and-read for anyone interested in Photography!

You can read HOME: KNOWN AND UNKNOWN by curator Karin Higa, Japanese American National Museum, about Miyazaki's series Camp Home (on his website under Personal/Camp Home). He has been documenting the reuse of buildings from the * Tule Lake Internment Camp, where his father's family was placed during World War II. Because photography was forbidden by internees, very few photographs of the home-life were made by the families. "My pictures act as evidence, though many years later, of a domestication rarely recorded during the initial life of the structures."

Kevin Miyazaki: Website
The Big List: MIAD-FA382

* Tule Lake was the largest and most controversial of the ten War Relocation Authority WRA camps used to carry out the government’s system of exclusion and detention of persons of Japanese descent, mandated by Executive Order 9066. Two-thirds of the 120,000 persons of Japanese descent incarcerated in American concentration camps were American citizens, an act that culminated decades of anti-Japanese violence, discrimination and propaganda.

When Priscilla Rattazzi's book Best Friends (Rizzoli) was first published, photographs of famous and not-so-famous people with their canine friends, the New York Times covered the book party in Central Park, Canine Social Set Steps Out, with more than 50 dogs as the guests of honor. "The dogs had water and sampled the victuals at a doggie bar. George, an English bulldog, was the only snob. He decided crowds were not his thing."

Priscilla Rattazzi was born in Rome and came to the US in 1974. She studied photography at Sarah Lawrence College, followed by assisting fashion and still life photographer Hiro, before working as a fashion and portrait photographer for many years. Exhibitions of her work include: the Staley Wise Gallery, New York; a retrospective at the Knoxville Museum of Art, Tennessee; a series of portraits of actors, producers and directors for the Tribeca Film Festival at the Jack Banning Gallery, NY; and a retrospective at the Valentina Moncada Gallery, Rome, Italy; among many others.

Ms. Rattazzi has published three books, as well as one portfolio: Best Friends (Rizzoli, 1998); Children (Rizzoli, 1992); and Georgica Pond (Callaway, 2000), a ten-year examination of a body of water on the East End of Long Island. Best Friends, The Portfolio (LunaLola Press, 2006), is a collection of fourteen of Priscilla's favorites portraits largely chosen from the original book Best Friends.

We look forward to her forthcoming book, Luna and Lola (Callaway) available in Ralph Lauren stores.

PDN-PHOTO-ANNUAL 2010 Winner

"All My Lies Are True" (a PDN Photo Annual 2010 Winner) is a book of “events” that I thought were interesting and that I needed to save as proof of what I had seen. Every picture was taken with the same motivation, to see if I could preserve that evidence in a photograph."

David J. Carol

David J. Carol was born in New York City. He attended the School of Visual Arts and The New School for Social Research where he studied under Lisette Model. He was the first assignment photographer for The Image Bank photo agency (now part of Getty Images) at the age of 26. He currently works daily in the real world of commercial photography as the Director of Photography at CBS Outdoor. David has traveled the world taking pictures for himself and others for over thirty years. Carol is the author of several photography books; his photographs and books are in the permanent collections of various museums and institutions....read more here

Review 2010 Organizers, Photographers Stephen Mallon and Susan May Tell

My experience at the American Society of Media Photographers / New York REVIEW 2010: Fine Art Portfolio Review was excellent. It was a great platform for photographers to network with over 40 Reviewers that included industry insiders such as Fine Art Consultant Mary Virginia Swanson, Editors from PDN (Photo District News), Gallery Owners, Director's, Curator's and Photo Agents. I was impressed with the high level of work and creative presentations. I came away with many photographers to keep in contact with and profile here in the future. There were also a couple of very successful professionals there to show their new work (Lynn Goldsmith!!!), as well as a few first time students. Thank you to all the photographers:
