 Williard Traub, Recovery 1, 2006. Recovery is a photographic meditation on affliction and rehabilitation by Willard Traub. The work reflects the artist's own experiences battling a rare form of blood cancer, drawing on the strength of his talents as a photographer. Recovery began when Traub was diagnosed with cancer in 2005, and examines his treatment, hospitalization, and recovery process. The images, combined with personal prose and poetry, provide an intimate and hopeful commentary on a disease that signifies much larger life issues. Read more>> |

Nan Goldin, Nan one month after being battered, 1984.
Vicki Goldberg, one of the leading voices in the field of photography criticism, will discuss how and why American women photographers, most prominently Cindy Sherman and Nan Goldin, came to the attention of the photography world in the late 1970s and early 1980s after lurking on the fringes for a long time. She will also examine the way the principle concerns of that first crop of important women artists, including the entire appropriation movement, have persisted to the present day and continue to influence photographers.
"One of photography's most revered and beloved critics, Goldberg examines both the history of photography and our current state of affairs with curiosity, wit, and cutting insight." - Photo Eye |

3200K Quarterly: Online Blog and Printed Fine Art Magazine Launches
A new online blog and printed fine art quarterly launched in Boston, MA, with the intentions of being a new forum for the publication of works made with analog photographic media.
With film and darkroom papers disappearing from the shelves of both
local and national photo shops, photography is quickly and surely
headed towards digitization. This move towards the digital, while
perhaps opening the medium to more people, distances it from its
roots as a silver-based process. Where do photographers devoted to
analog processes fit into this new equation?
3200K Quarterly is devoted to promoting photographers working with
traditional analog methods. It is published weekly online in blog form,
and quarterly in print form. Each printed issue will be accompanied by
a launch party, which will serve as a networking forum for the
photographers, as well as a celebration and exhibition of the works
featured in that issue. Through these three forums - online, printed
and as a social gathering - 3200K seeks to support and promote
photographers dedicated to traditional analog approaches to lightbased
media.
