Unnikrishnan Raveendranathan: Blood Money

In a Hindu-dominated society where the killing of holy animals like cows and buffaloes is considered to be the epitome of disrespecting all things Godly, there I was walking right into the middle of the unthinkable.

Noah Wilson: Our Land

I've used a flatbed scanner and sunlight as a backlighting source to record both the photographic information and the surface of the negatives. I make several scans of each negative at different times of day, and depending on the quality of the sunlight (diffused or direct), I capture varying interpretations of each negative.

Golnaz Shahmirzadi: Forbidden Beauty

- ....an environment which is abandoned by all the nations that have progressed. A torn platform where no mirrors exist, and even nature forbids beauty. I used the same burka/hijab that is the prescribed dress for the women in Afghanistan. I want to be their representative, and express that my heart goes out to them for support.

Todd Sanchioni: New Developments

Consumerism has arrived. Much like dealing with a natural disaster, Laos has to rebuild... but how will it do so and in what direction will it take? Coming from the U.S. and being saturated in consumerism, I found this "progress" out of place in such a unique and exotic place. Though development is desperately needed in Laos and ...

JOSIE PEREZ-RAMONDETTA: LE FEMME

I looked at the project as a retrospect of characters torn from the film stills of John Alton, Alfred Hitchcock, and Federico Fellini. My need to creatively experiment with a lens was also fueled by the work of Gordon Parks, Diane Arbus, and Walker Evans. The series of individual portraits was created from 1995-2000, and I approached it ...

Calvin Lee: A Romance in Pictures

The images in this series are the result of my investigation into the network of influences between image construction, documentation, and subjective identification with printed ads. Thus, my conceptual strategy is appropriation, which mirrors the performative process of identifying with a magazine ad while disrupting the efficacy of its image-identity.

SONIA SAVIO: Making Majolica:

These photographs recount the story of my father’s yearly buying trip for Biordi’s Art Imports, his majolica retail store. Over the period of ten days, I traveled with him from majolica artisan to artisan, from Sicily to Rimini. In a blur of craft and color, and with camera in hand, I grew ever so aware of how small Italy can seem and how...

IAN MARTIN: Invisible People

When I first heard the term white poverty" in South Africa, I thought it was an oxymoron. The only whites I had seen were affluent; they had nice cars, homes, and a lifestyle enhanced by labor made cheap by their country's huge black poverty. In contrast, shanty towns ringed every city I visited. I didn't see any white people living there.

Daniel Cronin: The Gathering

Traveling to Cave In Rock, Illinois for The Gathering of the Juggalos these last few summers on my own may seem very different for me, but it is reminiscent of the shooting I did in college in that the landscape is still integral and I am trying to convey something more than just what is on the surface.

MIKE NARCISO: INTO THE LIGHT

I spent most of the ‘70s in the art department at San Jose State University where I earned an MA in fine art. During that time, I received a grant through the art department to document the art community. I worked for over a year and shot more than 80 portraits of local artists. That was the first time I earned a living using my camera, so ...
