Katrina + 5: Through the Lens
I’ve been grappling over how to talk about Katrina + 5. Should I say anything at all? Something contrived but candid? Write an epitaph or poem in perfect iambic pentameter? I don’t know. But honestly, at this point I don’t want to say anything or hear anything about it. I don’t want to watch TV specials or Spike Lee’s new sequel or read another New York Times article or some obligatory anniversary piece by some faraway paper. All I want to do is look at the photographs—lots of photographs.

LEONARD NIMOY is most famous for his portrayal of Spock, the pointy-eared, half-Vulcan science officer on the Starship Enterprise, on Star Trek. However, it’s an image he’s wanted to escape for a long time. Indeed, the actor even published a book entitled I Am Not Spock, but the persona has proved hard to shed. Still, Nimoy hopes that people can see beyond Spock in his new photography exhibit, entitled Secret Selves, that opens Saturday at Mass MoCA. In fact, Nimoy has been an accomplished photographer for nearly as long as he’s been Spock, and his work has been collected by several museums.
Secret Selves contains 26 color photographs
, 11 of them life size, and is Nimoy’s first solo show at a major museum.

Out of the 10 643 works comprising the IVAM's collection, 61 % are donations made by collectors, artists and heirs who have considered that the IVAM is the perfect museum to preserve and disseminate their creations.

An Exibituin in Lagos, Nigeria.A solo photography exhibition, J. D. ‘Okhai Ojeikere: A life in pictures: Portraits of a photographer was mounted at Chic Afric House, Yaba, Lagos in celebration of his 80th birthday.
Ojeikere’s story is that of an achiever. The only regret he has at 80 is that he wished he could still be actively involved in photography. Strength is gradually failing him. However, his joy, among other things, is that he has lived a purposeful life. He has trained his children and some of them, including a 6-year-old grandchild have already taken after him in the field of photography.
Born on June 10, 1930 in Ovbiomu-Emai, Owan–East Local Government Area of Edo State, he is one Nigeria’s leading photographers who, at 80, is still into full-time studio practice.
Ojeikere, who learnt photography from one Mr. Albert Anieke, said: "Photography is my calling and, as a matter of fact, I can’t imagine myself to have settled for any other options."

Fred Lyon's photos of old San Francisco in show

After nearly 70 years as a professional photographer, Fred Lyon decided he was due a show of his work. The question was, what work to show?
He looked around his studio, and what called to him was not on the walls but in the bottom drawer of a file cabinet. He got down on his knees, which takes some doing
when you are pushing 84, and pulled out a box marked "SF negs." Inside that box were rows of small envelopes, each containing a square 2-inch negative. Most had not been looked at in 50 years.
"I looked at them and I got a little scared," says Lyon, who at first wished he hadn't opened that box because it took two years of sorting and scanning and editing to get from there to here.
San Francisco Then: Fred Lyon's photographs from the 1940s and '50s. Through Aug. 28. Modernbook Gallery, 49 Geary St., S.F. (415) 732-0300. www.modernbook.com.

A Gathering of Women With Cameras The show — 200 works by 120 artists — starts with a botanical print by the British photographer Anna Atkins from around 1850, when photography barely had a history, it was still so new. Because the curators — Roxana Marcoci, Sarah Meister and Eva Respini, all from the department of photography — have ordered the exhibition by date, we get a solid dose of late Victoriana in the opening room, with pictures by Julia Margaret Cameron and Gertrude Kasebier.

“Pictures by Women: A History of Modern Photography” remains on view through March 21 in the Edward Steichen Photography Galleries at the Museum of Modern Art, moma.org; contemporary photographs from the show are in the museum’s Robert and Joyce Menschel Gallery through Aug. 30.

Poetry In Allen Ginsberg's Photography. On May 2, the first-ever scholarly exhibition of his photographs opened at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. More than a writer, Ginsberg was a bearded, Buddhist, flower-powered Renaissance man. He was a political activist, a connoisseur of soups and, through it all, a photographer. Mostly we see the poetry of Ginsberg’s life, the poetic way in which he saw the world — how an artist crafted that vision into words and photographs. http://www.npr.org/blogs/pictureshow/2010/05/05/126532131/ginsberg?ft=1&f=1008

LANDSCAPE VS. EDITORIAL -- When the Oakland Museum of California finishes its renovations and reopens on Saturday, there will be two dedicated sections in the area devoted to photography: One will feature material by and about Dorothea Lange, and the other material related to Group f/64. Lange (1895-1965) is the documentary photographer best known for her portraits of people displaced by the Depression, and Group f/64 was a gaggle of Bay Area photographers whose most prominent member was Ansel Adams (1902-1984). The two exhibitions will highlight two very different approaches to photography, as well as the importance of the medium in the San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley region.

Henri Cartier-Bresson show at the Museum of Modern Art



There are two big maps on the wall outside the Henri Cartier-Bresson show at the Museum of Modern Art, one of Europe and Asia, the other of North and South America. They are crisscrossed with so many dotted lines that they look more like maps from the Age of Exploration than what they are: a record of one man’s photographic travels. On view, in addition to the prints, are the magazines, such as Paris Match and Life, in which his photo essays were published. The catalog has a log showing Cartier-Bresson’s travels, month by month, year by year. He seems to have never stopped moving. SOURCE: JOHN ZEAMAN The Record

But on the way to South America, he encountered so much injustice, misery and poverty in the US that he abandoned his plans. He was shocked and at the same time fascinated by the contradictions of American society and wanted to experience those paradoxes for himself. His photos, are now on display in Braunschweig, Germany, showing a haunting America. SOURCE: Christoph Gunkel. Der Spiegel.

IS DIGITAL EASY? -- Even my dog could take that picture. Athena Lonsdale holds a picture of Cyrus, her dog photographer, on Tuesday at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography Gallery where she is mounting a show of her and Cyrus’ work. Cyrus, who died in September, was taught by Lonsdale, a professional photographer, to make pictures by hitting the shutter of a camera, and became somewhat famous in the process.
TAKEAWAY: Here’s a reminder of two things: In the last century, heavy emphasis was on the equipment. “depth of field, lens size, film development” and all that stuff. . Today, the photographer can spend more time on more important elements like, “What kind of story am I going to tell with this picture.?” SOURCE: Missoulian; Vince Devlin, Photo TOM BAUER/

The mountain gorillas of the Virunga National Park live surrounded by violence. Heavily armed soldiers of guerilla warfare, poachers, illegal charcoal makers, all roam the forest poised to destroy what gets in their way. Still a village and the world were outraged when a family of the gentle primates was murdered in cold blood in July 2007.
Just over 200 of the extremely rare mountain gorillas, of which there are only 680 in the world, live in the Democratic Republic of Congo, virtually the epicenter of humanitarian crisis and civil wars that have left almost 6 million people dead in the last 15 years. Last autumn a peace treaty was signed, and rangers discovered 5 babies gorillas have been born.
