Wayne Levin: Water people
"His unique black and white underwater images create a surreal view of the world, one that continues to fascinate and hold us captive to its endless beauty."
Alysia Earle, Camera Arts
"But in the more environmental work Levin freezes motion into patterns that are transposed into their own sense of visual rhythm…for example when a swirling of water above and corresponding patterns of light and shadow undulating below meet at an undetermined ‘horizon line’ near the middle. This is as articulate, elegant, and beautiful an abstract visual statement as can be made."
Joseph Walentini, Abstract Art Online
"…these subtle black and white photographs illuminate an entire world: its space, its inhabitants its weight and its visitors…We encounter states of wonder, fear, and exhilaration…a profound sense of the sublime.
Linda Connor, noted photographer"
and professor, San Francisco Art Institute

Sparky Campanella: 40 over forty
Statement:
It’s said that as we age everything diminishes except our waistline. Yet no matter how old we get, we remain sexual beings. I’m a forty-six year old divorced single male with no children. My upbringing was conservative in values and bereft of girls. I went to an all-boys grade school and middle school, had no childhood girlfriends and no sisters. I didn’t start dating until I was in college. My dearth of contact with the opposite sex during childhood has made me curious ever since.
Sex is part of who we are. And because we live in a society that uses sex to sell everything from perfume to paper clips, it creates a real tension when we feel we no longer “have it”. For many women that “it” is a function of how they look. We all lose youthful beauty as we age - men and women. But women have it tougher than men. Men don’t have to integrate the loss of their fertility into their sexual identify till much later in life. Men don’t have the physical changes of menopause. Men aren’t held to the same standards of sexual attractiveness as they age.

"I love how I look and I love
all that is around me."
Kate
"...I was already so wild and open sexually,
I didn’t think I could have more...
Turns out I was so, so wrong.
At forty I feel renewed in some ways,
like I’m past the really difficult stuff."
Azure
Dianea
"My sexual fire is as strong as ever,
but now lies underneath the surface.
It is unnecessary to show it to everyone."
Charlotte
"I feel one with water
in a state of grace.
poised, buoyant, fully alive,
aroused."

Chris Hornbecker: 1 millimeter a day
"What do you do every day? This year I set myself a challenge: Take a brand new photo each day. Beginning with 14mm, each day I zoom the lens by 1 millimeter and force myself to use that focal length to shoot and post a photo before going to sleep that night. This will continue every day until I reach the end of the 1mm lens adjustments at 400mm."
22mm, January 9, 2008
89mm, March 16, 2008
1mm is an experiment in changing perspective. Looking at things in a restricted view, I find the light as it’s naturally falling, then use the exposure and craft to create visual intrigue out of objects we pass by every day.
228mm, August 2, 2008
The rules:
1. Shoot a new photo every day.
2. Each day increase the focal length one millimeter.
3. Post this new image before going to sleep.
4. No cheating.
I hope you enjoy these and keep coming back for more.
Thanks,
Chris Hornbecker

Keep in mind that I have to make this happen before or after my regular photography jobs and responsibilities with my new 9 month old son.

Brad Moore: Familiar
These photographs were shot in modest, well-worn, suburban cities in central and inland Southern California. Built in the 50s and 60s, these cities provided a new home and future to a post-war population. While Southern California’s coastal cities flourish, cities in these inland counties struggle. Future prosperity and civic health seem to come primarily from growing ethnic populations, which are reviving and recreating these cities for their communities.
"I grew up in North Orange County and attended school in inland Riverside County. After 25 years I returned, and was fascinated by their simultaneous decline and growth. I see these areas differently from places I have never been. Knowing what was, and now what is influences my approach. I’ve avoided traditional, documentary-style photography; instead I have photographed select buildings and shrubbery in primarily static, symmetrical compositions, reflecting change, irony and evolution."
