    28 Camera Drawings
    by Christine Berrie
    I enjoy creating images that contain a lot of detail. In terms of subject matter, cameras are a current favourite, with a plethora of little buttons, switches, levers and dials. As cameras in the digital age become increasingly sleek, streamlined and monochrome in design, here is a visual celebration of vintage models from days gone by, created using graphite and colour pencil.

    It is a wonderful and unexpected honor to be named the 64th College Photographer of the Year.  So far, it has been a very surreal experience and I am not quite sure what to expect.  Winning CPOY was something I had never really thought much about, because it seemed beyond my grasp and an award I considered to be reserved for students at a level of shooting above my own.  There are many students whose work I look up to and admire and I will continue to do so.

    Animal Logic, Barnes’s first monograph, collects four related species of his photographic work that touch on themes relevant to science, history, archaeology, and architecture. Through his lens, sights and objects normally hidden from public view—half-installed dioramas, partially wrapped specimens, anatomical models, exploded skulls, and taxidermied animals in shipping crates—take on a strange beauty

    For his latest body of work, Larry Sultan hired Mexican day laborers as actors and subjects in his photographs, which he made on the outskirts of Southern Californian suburbs. He found these illegal laborers outside a nearby strip mall where hundreds of men wait day by day to be picked up for hourly work. Sultan directed the men’s actions and gestures while drawing from his own memories of home life and interpretations of their experiences as exiles.
