Appearing In
Stuart Hawkins’s humorous photographs self-consciously imagine moments of cultural intersection, challenging the audience to imagine what happens before and after a picture is taken. Her work, charming and somewhat confusing, seems to articulate her own experience as an American living in Nepal.
Vanishing Point
The symbolism of swimming is well-worn territory. We all realize that water represents transformation, rebirth, and tranquility. But Eric Zener’s work reminds us of the real power it has over our imaginations.
Dr. Strangelove Dr. Strangelove
Kristan Horton imitates Kubrick and creates a new world for the film—silverware become an airplane, plastic and coffee grounds become the sky.
Dreamland
What becomes of resorts planned with big dreams—yachts, country clubs, roads paved and phone poles wired—that never materialize? Forty minutes from Palm Springs, photographer Marshall Sokoloff spent two years roaming the deserted zones of Salton City, tracking the desolation.
After
The disappearance of the Aral Sea in Kazakhstan and the flood and evacuation in New Orleans are the tragic results of natural disaster and government mismanagement. These photos tenderly expose not only the extent of the disasters, but our ineptitude and negligence in their aftermaths.

These handmade records—found at a flea market and “recorded” by an unknown singer, Mingering Mike—are exquisite in realistic-seeming details: gatefolds, label logos, complete lyrics, artwork. Even the platters are cardboard.
On Duty
The Moscow Metro workers in Olga Chernysheva’s photographs are examples of people seen but not noticed. Despite this, the watching, waiting faces in her work demonstrate grace and openness.
Hanging Around
These photos from Tom Sandberg display composure, stillness, mystery—despite being taken years apart.
Legends in the Making
