Nothing New is a monthly feature devoted to photography and other visual artifacts that I feel have not been given the recognition they deserve. That may include underappreciated portions of the body of work of a major photographer, the entire body of work of a relatively unknown photographer, or particular kinds of visual media that–for […]

I’ve finally done the impossible–read every one of the backlogged posts that have been building up in my Google Reader for the past, oh, month or so. These links are my favorites from the past month. For anyone who’s been keeping up, it might […]

Summer has been slow, and it’s about to get slower…I’ll be out of contact for about a week and a half beginning today. In the meantime, a couple of interesting photography-related discussions have been surfacing around the web. Ed Burtynsky’s proposal to establish a permanent gallery in the 10,000-Year Clock in Nevada asks […]
Max Neuhaus is best known for his sound installations–a term he coined himself–that involve concealed speakers generating intermittent and overlapping tones in public places. What brings him within the purview of this visually-oriented blog is a show at the Menil Collection entitled “Circumscription Drawings,” after the name Neuhaus gives to the visual aspect of […]

Happy fourth of July! After a week of vacation, I’m back to active duty. In the meantime, a few interesting things happened that are worth noting.
The end of the panorama? Olympus has announced a prototype for a 360 degree camera.
Regina Hackett and Chas Bowie have […]
I’ll be traveling for the next week. I might have enough access for sporadic updates, but until then, enjoy the blogroll and the following links.
More great coverage of PhotoEspaña–this time on landscape photographers–from WMMNA. I found at least two projects I didn’t know about–by Joachim Koester and Simon Starling–that look worth more time […]
