Twenty-four hours later, here are some of the images that are still floating around in my brain. Pervading themes in all the shows: fire, explosions, animals (or traces of animals), rethought still lives, and the color orange.
Martin Parr and Kathy Ryan proved that the 40x50 c-print is alive and well, and Lesley Martin was looser, propping and pinning up work. Tim Barber threw up his entire print collection, but I liked the flea market aspect of it; I found a nice egg and a toaster on fire. And the Tierney Fellowship show killed it; Thomas Bangsted is my new favorite. Check out that goat.
Read some other reviews by Joerg here and here and one by Robert Wright. And I'll do one more post with some goss and a picture of me on Jen Bekman's lap. After that, it's time to talk about Look3. We're taking the photo festival train to Charlottesville, folks!

Just for the record: while awesome, Roger Ballen's pictures scare the crap out of me.

Stumble Upon
Ah, finally some art I can relate to.
top image of an egg is well done - in terms of the shot, the egg itself looks a little over easy.
The portrait of what looks to be orange peels is interesting even if I don't get why it's in the portrait category.
What a great idea for a lobster. the photo may have been second thought compared to the original idea of the drawings, but it works.
My favorite is the last photo. You could study it all day and be drawn to a different part of the shot each moment.
