Sunsets & Other Colour Photographs . Ann Woo . Schnauzer Publications

Ann Woo is a photographer based in Hong Kong. “Sunsets & Other Colour Photographs” features a small collection of the artists work with a focus on her “Sunsets” series. For this project, Ann created various colour fields out of a single negative; which was originally an image of the sun setting that developed as a pure tonal gradient. The front and back covers represent the possible environments that could surround these surreal sunsets and also show the viewer how diverse Ann’s practice is. Please visit Ann’s website to learn more about her; http://annwoo.com.

GOLDEN PALMS . Ed Panar . J&L

Golden Palms is a collection of Ed Panar’s photographs of Los Angeles, where he lived for two years without a car. The cumulative effect is a subtly hilarious and beautiful walking tour through generic back streets, showing us a side of contemporary LA that most people speed by. Includes an interview with Ed and Charlotte Cotton.

Ed Panar is a recent graduate of the MFA program at Cranbrook Academy of Art. In addition to his straight photography, Panar creates video art and poetry as his guardian angel alter-ego, Johnny B. Smooth, with collaborator the B. Dazzler. He has also edited projects for the London based Tomato Workshops. Golden Palms is one piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is Ed Panar. Taken in the context of Panar’s various other artistic endeavors, Golden Palms reveals an educated eye with a sensitivity to personality and humor. Ed received a 2007 fellowship from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. A Pennsylvania native, Ed lives and works in Pittsburgh.

Charlotte Cotton is curator of photography at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and author of The Photograph as Contemporary Art. Previously, she was head of programming at The Photographers’ Gallery in London, and a curator of photographs at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The photographs in Above Below move through the Japanese wilderness with grace as one season fades into the next.

A perspective that seems to float alongside her fellow trekkers, not entirely on the ground but never out of reach.

Fotograf #17: Amateur Photography

“Amateurism, the theme of this issue, is a phenomenon that has been tied to photography not from the medium’s very beginning, but rather from the period when taking photographs became accessible to a broader range of social classes. At the start, photography was an exclusive, very demanding process (both operationally and cost-wise) that was however gradually simplified. Over time a business element entered into the process: sellers not just of cameras, but also of photo materials, chemicals, etc. had an interest in the maximum expansion of the market and thus in the gradual simplification of process. The result of this effort was the gradual permeation of photography into a wide array of layers of society.” – Pavel Baňka, Editorial
