Californian photographer Barbara White is the next on my list of architectural photographers. Her gallery of architectural works is not as vast as some, but I find that she’s got a rather interesting eye- most specifically when speaking of her exterior work. © Barbara White

In the spirit of April Fools, which is just around the corner, I thought I’d write about something a little different from my usual posts. Previously, I’ve mentioned the work of Bernardo Bertolucci, Tom Ford, David Lynch, etc. Their films are breathtaking masterpieces, all of them with brilliant cinematography that blows the mind of any [...]

This Thursday is the opening of a group show of Seniors in the Photography and Imaging Department. The show is at the Calumet gallery, 22 w. 22nd street (between 5th and 6th ave).

Oh, and North Koreans hate us. A lot. North Korea is a country lead by a chubby guy with bad hair and platform shoes. Not so intimidating! [...]

If you don’t yet know about the series One in 8 Million, you are in for a treat. One in 8 Million is a series of oral histories and photographic profiles that focus on one interesting New Yorker at a time. There are all kinds of amazing people featured in these profiles with personal stories [...]

Free Photo Resources is a photography website with some interesting tools, articles, and galleries. Rather comprehensive, and showcases some amazing examples of architectural photography. Rather than focus on one specific photographer for this post, I’ve decided to post a link to one of Free Photo Resources’ articles on Corridor Photography, as they have some rather [...]

From the Tisch Website: Entitled SHOW THREE, the show is the third in a series of four exhibitions that will eventually showcase the work of the entire graduating class in a BFA exhibition. It is installed in the Gulf + Western Gallery (lobby) and the [...]
