Rosalind Smith  |  Nov 01, 2005  |  0 comments

The low, harsh light of late day played unmercifully on the withered body of an old woman, reflecting on the face of the beautiful baby she carried on her back. Eugene Richards saw the tall, angular 80-year-old woman, a rare sight in a drought-ridden land where people die long before their time.

"I was conscious of using my camera," Richards says. "I...

Fifteen years ago Ann Johansson left Gothenburg, Sweden, and came to America. She was looking for "sunshine" but she may just have found the end of the rainbow. For seven years her real-life job was waitressing in Los Angeles. Her hobby was taking pictures.

"It took me a while to realize you could actually make a living here having a...

Lauren Greenfield; Photographic Signs Of Our Times
Rosalind Smith  |  Sep 01, 2005  |  0 comments

No way is Lauren Greenfield a mainstream photographer. Her genre falls into the realm of portraiture and social documentary but her true subject is loss of innocence in a society dominated by media exposure. Greenfield's focus is on the importance of image with young girls caught up in the rituals of pop culture.

Her photographic message is unsettling and...

Having the good fortune to become involved wholly with an inspiration or an idea is pretty awesome, and as long as I have known Boston photographer Lou Jones he has been "involved." I don't think he has ever missed an Olympics event or turned away from his deep-rooted convictions about the death penalty...

Many of Pamela Hawkes' images seem familiar, a house we may have seen or even lived in at some time, a bouquet of flowers arranged for our dining room table, or the image of a woman's upper torso, her hands folded in her lap. But though the objects seem connected to us in some way there is a...

These are not simply documents of wilderness; we sense in each one the presence of an individual...
