This nomadic phase allowed for only limited access to those Jacobson held dear, and the varied array of subject matter found in Postcards Home is consequently a record of a period of personal upheaval; of the endings and beginnings of very important relationships; of illnesses and deaths and births. All of the works in this book were taken with an iPhone, and most were immediately sent to someone Jacobson cared about, or were shared within his broader social network. This synergy of photography and communication was facilitated by mobile technology, a development that is transforming society’s understanding of the medium of photography from a frozen moment to a visual interaction between individuals, making this collection important both from a personal and historical perspective.Featured in Interview Magazine and Time.

The resulting volume of stylistically eclectic photographs represents a diary-like record of an itinerant life that seems a far cry from the On the Road-style liberty enjoyed by rebellious young people of the 1950s and 60s--and yet Mayes’ pictures, taken in places that range from the Southern Oregon Coast to Italy, France, Seattle, Washington, DC and New York’s Financial District, Tribeca and Brooklyn, are nothing if not joyful, exuberant exercises in freedom and revolt. With this volume, Mayes moves forward from the portrayal of more liberated lifestyles that she began in the 1960s with her pictures from San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury and the music counterculture to focus on a broader vista that encompasses our current cultural moment.

Van Riper’s striking black and white photographs spanning twenty years, coupled with his eloquent texts, capture the 20th-century romance and grit of New York more than a half century ago, and Paris, some forty years ago. It was a time when the pace of life was slower and somehow less threatening, people talked to each other instead of texting on their iPhones, and you literally had to stop and smell the coffee. Frank Van Riper is an internationally acclaimed documentary and fine art photographer, journalist and author. His photographs are in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC, the Portland Museum of Art, Portland, Maine, the photography archive of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and the Tides Institute collection, Eastport Maine, among others. Martin Walker is an internationally renowned journalist and foreign policy scholar, and author of the bestselling ‘Bruno’ series of crime novels set in the Perigord region of France.

As a seeker of mystery and lover of solitude, the quietude of this land, with its watery blues and gentle, enveloping grays, Sanjuan immediately felt an intimate connection with the muted snowscape. Silent Snow urges one to pause, to explore, as Elizabeth does, the lessons of the single tree; strength in solitude and the will to withstand any storm.Elizabeth Sanjuan is a visual artist whose images examine the people, landscape, and man-made surroundings that define and shape our cultures and communities. Sanjuan reinforces the urgent need to protect the cultural and environmental heritage that defines us all. View Details

Ross The photographs in Silent Stages set the scene for dramatic urban narratives, like theatrical stages or movie sets. At the same time, they constitute artifacts from various stages of the artist’s life, visual traces of the sedimentary layers that have quietly accumulated atop one another over time. Dreyfack sees them almost as relics from a personal archeological dig—a layered visual memoir that emerges from the artist’s dual Franco-American identity. All of the images, shot over the past five years around New York or Paris, establish visual and thematic parallels and equivalencies between the two seemingly disparate poles of the artist’s life. Ken Dreyfack is a nationally exhibiting artist. Ken was awarded second prize for The Photo Review’s 2018 competition, juried by MOMA photography curator Sarah Meister. His work was selected for Photography Now 2018 at CPW and was awarded a silver prize at the 2019 San Francisco Bay International Photography Competition. David A.
