The new year kicks off with one of the top photo fairs opening on January 10. Photo L.A. 2008 has grown so large that it will take over a 35,000-square-foot hangar at the Santa Monica Airport for its three-day run - and the opening reception will benefit the Photography Department of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Elsewhere, there is much new work to see, from Luis Gispert at Zach Feuer, in New York, to Katy Grannan at Fraenkel Gallery, in San Francisco. Please check links for details.
