Robin Rice Gallery Tuesday July 5, 2016
On view in New York through September 11 is the Robin Rice Gallery’s annual Summertime Salon, which features work from 53 of the gallery’s artists and a few newcomers. They include Mark
Sink, Nenad Amodaj, Stewart Ferebee, Tanya Malott, and ilvia Lareo-Vasquez, Ron Hamad, Jose Picayo, RJ Muna, and Barbara Gentile. In general, the work in the show evokes summertime in some way, though
the real point, notes Rice, is the celebration of a community of art. Read the full Story >>
Joanne Dugan Wednesday May 21, 2014
New York-based photographer (and Pro Photo Daily reader) Joanne Dugan loves the summertime—which, by the way, will officially begin in a couple of weeks). A photographer, author and curator, she
spends her own summers at Cape Cod taking pictures. But over the past winter she kept herself warm by editing a new book called Summertime, which features work from a number of other
photographers who have made a name for themselves shooting at the beach—from Joel Meyerowitz and Martin Parr to Peter Marlow. The publisher, Chronicle Books, says the new volume is ideally sized
to present as a gift for weekend hosts. “It was a honor to edit the work of so much great talent,” says Dugan. Read the full Story >>

Many astronomers and
stargazers prefer to look up at the stars in the summertime, in part because the brightest part of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is more visible to us then. But the winter sky holds countless gems,
notes French nature photographer and cinematographer Adrien Mauduit, whose short film Galaxies Volume II: Wonders of the Winter Night
Skies is now a Vimeo Staff Pick. He shot the film over the past year in a variety of locations. Read the full Story >>

In the summertime at Scott Base in Antarctica, the sun remains above the horizon from late October to late February. New Zealand filmmaker Anthony Powell has created a time-lapse video capturing 24
hours of sunlight by pointing his cam directly at the sun and tracking it across the sky. A watch in the foreground ticks off one second for each frame shot. “I could just manage enough depth of
field at f/22 to get both the watch and background in focus,” Powell tells PetaPixel. Read the full Story >>

Maine-based Cig Harvey’s photographs often feature bright, saturated colors and a touch of surrealism as she tries to find the magic in the mundane. Her latest book, Blue Violet, explores grief through flowers and colors, notes Pop Photo. The project started with a request. “A friend was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia at 36, and she went into an isolation unit, where everything is super sterile, for six weeks. It was summertime in Maine, and she was in Boston, and she said, ‘send me pictures,’” says Harvey. Read the full Story >>

Transportation is a daily headache in Cuba. "Private trucks are used to move people around. These trucks are filled with people, and during the summertime when temperature can reach over 100 degrees
it is a real nightmare," says photographer William Riera, who was born in Cuba. He left in 1995, but since 2000 has been visiting his hometown of Santiago de Cuba. "My photographic … Read the full Story >>

Famous for his role in New York’s artistic heritage and the Pop Art movement, Andy Warhol believed that everyone had it in them to be a star for fifteen minutes. Through his own art, he
defined his identity and shaped the world around him. He once commented that he’d like his tombstone to say only one word: “Figment.” So to all of the unrecognized … Read the full Story >>

Redheads are back, in more than one way. The color seems to be trending--a slew of influencers have recently been seen with bottled-dyed copper tints, while Vogue claims that red hair is "having a

ordinary people," he … Read the full Story >>

The first question I'm usually asked these days is, "What made you decide to live in Oaxaca, Mexico?" This brings to mind some dialogue from the movie Casablanca: Captain Louis
Renault (Claude Rains): "What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?" Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart): "My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters." Captain Renault: "The
waters? What waters? We're in the desert!" … Read the full Story >>
