Long interested in the tradition of photography in the former Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc, they have centered this year’s festival, which begins Friday in Houston, on contemporary Russian photography. About 40 photographers will be coming from Russia to give talks and show their work, some of them placing their images up for auction for the first time.
