There’s a frustration I face with modern photography—glossy spreads in magazines and head shots and landscapes. With the advent of Photoshop, everything just looks too perfect.

The Conduit
August 10, 2009 – 3:05 pm
I am wrapped in a universe of temporal distortion when looking at Mark Borthwick’s photography. His images and installations, a constant fixture in both the pages of the world’s leading fashion magazines and on the walls of museums and galleries, are dedicated to creating an awareness of who he is at that moment.
Damion Berger

Damion Berger’s work is interesting to me precisely because it has so little in common with the majority of his contemporaries. When I first saw it, we just had to talk.
Lynn Saville

Common to Unique
July 2, 2009 – 11:28 am
One of my favorite movies related to photography is “Pecker” by John Waters. It’s a charming story about a young, amateur photographer from Baltimore who turns the New York art scene on it’s ear. Pecker’s pictures are so honest, they turn ugly into beautiful, common to unique, and pretense to absurdity. Maybe this is why I like Mathew Scott’s photographs.
