Welcome to Puebla York. It's not a place you will find on a map. Nonetheless, documentary photographer Griselda San Martin has been photographing its boundaries and culture for the past six years. "Well over 50 percent of Mexican migrants in New York come from the state of Puebla, in Central Mexico," notes San Martin, whose work often focuses on the issues of immigration, deportation, inequality and human rights abuses. Her project "Puebla York," which looks at Mexican immigrants in New York and their families in Puebla, Mexico, was a winner of the Latin American Fotografia 7 competition.

Robin Rice has taken up spinning. Not the kind you do on bikes, but the kind deejays do. She's got turntable set up at her loft in Beacon, New York, in a converted 19th-century textile mill along Fishkill Creek. A photo of her at her turntable was included recently in Chronogram, a lifestyle magazine focusing on the Hudson Valley, which coincided with an exhibition of Rice's own photography at her eponymous New York gallery -- the first time her gallery had shown the work, which she's been doing since the disco days of the 1970s. This month the images will be on view in her loft as part of Beacon Open Studios, an annual event in which artists open their workspaces to the public.

I mean, imagine if a camera had pretty much flawless exposure capability, flawless focusing and could fire and focus so fast it never missed a frame?" So writes Jeff Wignall in todays Street Test of the Sony a9 full-frame mirrorless camera. Sony Artisans of Imagery Katrin Eisman, Andy Katz, and Pat Murphy-Racey join in with their takes on the 24.2-megapixel camera that has caused an uproar in the photo industry.
