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)

Yes, such a place exists. It is actually the nickname for several counties in far west central Illinois. The reason for the nickname started in the 1950s and 1960s when the interstate highway system was being designed and constructed. Many times a route from Chicago to Kansas City, which would run thru the heart of this region, was considered but....read more here
Having grown up on a Pennsylvania farm, I am inspired by Andrew Wyeth's rural landscapes, characterized by subtle, but powerful emotion. I hope to strike a similar emotional connection in the viewer by illustrating a disturbed ecosytem created by man's self-serving interests....read more here

THE PREMISE FOR SUBMISSIONS
"Each portrait reveals something of the sitter, the photographer and also
of us as viewers. No one image can muster a whole and complete being,
no matter how much we believe this could be so. This is the part of the
photograph we create in our imagination, we fill in each crack and hole
with a sort of personalized reasoning. And all these unknowns in the
midst of true transparency."
"Eye contact is made or retracted, body language boastful, reticent or indecipherable. Facial expressions can be hard at work or numbly slack. While subjects have a power over these photographic outcomes, it is the choice of the photographer to coax or mute said expressions for their artistic offering." – Damaris Drummond, Darkroom Gallery

THE JUROR'S FINAL SELECTION
"As a record number of entries were received for FACES, making the final selection for this exhibit was difficult. There were many impressive images and I found it painful to have to leave any behind. Among the many well-composed portraits, I chose images based not only on technical skills, but also on an indefinable element surrounding the expression or emotion projected. I favored images that evoked an air of mystery or clarity; a moment of joy; a secret not shared or a place we may never visit - a point in time captured in the past suggesting unknown possibilities in the future."– Juror, Elizabeth Avedon

"One of the architectural quirks of certain cities on the eastern seaboard of the U.S. is the solo row house. Standing alone, in some of the worst neighborhoods, these nineteenth century structures were once attached to similar row houses that made up entire city blocks. Time and major demographic changes have resulted in the decay and demolition of many such blocks of row houses. Occasionally, one house is spared - literally cut off from its neighbors and left to the elements with whatever time it has left."
"My interest in these solitary buildings is not only in their ghostly beauty but in their odd placement in the urban landscape. Often three stories high, they were clearly not designed to stand alone like this. Many details that might not be noticed in a homogenous row of twenty attached row houses become apparent when everything else has been torn down. And then there's the lingering question of why a single row house was allowed to remain upright. Still retaining traces of its former glory, the last house standing is often still occupied." – Ben Marcin

Susan May Tell's iconic portrait of André Kertész is included in an Exhibition of his photographs, "Converging Journeys in the Modernist Age," at Madelyn Jordon Fine Art. Andre selected this portrait, taken during one of Susan's visits, for the frontispiece of his 1985 autobiography, Kertész on Kertész. It was also used in The New York Times for his obituary. The current exhibition also includes paintings by Kertész's friend and fellow Hungarian, Theodore Fried.
