Fraction Magazine Holiday Print Sale
David Bram was kind enough to invite me to participate in the Fraction Magazine Holiday Print Sale, which features work from a whole bunch of talented photographers. Here’s the photograph I’m offering:

It’s an 8×10 archival pigment print, in an edition of 10. The cost is $40 plus $5 shipping US, $8 shipping international.
But there’s so much more great work to see! Click on over to the Fraction website and get yourself some photographs.

Around Town: John Pfahl and Lee Friedlander
Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyoming, 2010 by John Pfahl
My birthday weekend is shaping up nicely. In addition to the Nicholas Hughes show I mentioned in my previous post, two more exhibitions just popped up on my radar: John Pfahl is showing his newest series, Métamorphoses de la Terre, at Janet Borden through October 15. Then I found out about Lee Friedlander’s Recent Western Landscapes at Mary Boone, on view through October 23. If you’re in the NYC area, I’d say all three of these shows are worth a visit, but the Friedlander show in particular looks like a knockout.
(Have I mentioned that The Desert Seen is one of my favorite books? It is.)
Many thanks to DLK Collection for continuing to provide great, in-depth reviews and information about important photography exhibitions around town.
Nicholas Hughes
I recently came across the work of Nicholas Hughes, another UK photographer, and I am quite taken with it. I like the contrasts between his various series, such as the minimalist and dark seascapes from In Darkness, Visible, Verse II next to the so-pale-they’re-nearly-invisible snowy scenes of Edge, Verse II. His work comes across as cool and modern and yet quite romantic at the same time. Hughes currently has a solo exhibition at Nailya Alexander Gallery in New York City through October 30.
