Robert Bourdeau, "Lorrain, France" 2005

“Robert Bourdeau belongs to a fast vanishing tradition that gloried in the sensuous surface...a photography that prided itself on exquisite craftsmanship and a meditative approach to camerawork.”

review by Barbara Confino

A Secretive Eye

Vivian Maier, "New York City, September 10, 1955"

“It is not everyday that one becomes so involved and even obsessed with a particular photographer.”

review by Norman Borden

Modern Tintypes

Keliy Anderson-Staley

“ Some might term it stern, others stoic, but it seems to signify an inner strength...”

review by Ed Barnas

Discarded Landscapes

David Zimmerman, "Last Refuge 123" 2011

“The colors are muted and the textures reminiscent of rock formations seen from above.”
