A new year in photography starts off with a host of openings in galleries and museums. From the hotly anticipated Sleepwakers, a film by Doug Aitken to be projected on MoMA's facades, to the intimate scrapbook photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson at ICP, to Misty Keasler's Japanese 'love hotels' at the Jenkins Johnson Gallery, New York is the jumping-off point for a 12-state tour of what's on and what's on the way. Please check links for details.
