Neil Turner, who was one of the first photographers in Britain to embrace digital photography, clarifies what should be considered with regard to image manipulation.

    After nearly 3 weeks of taking photos every day at the Winter Olympics, well, I needed some serious help editing. So I decided to pay Mike Davis a visit.

    It’s fun and enlightening how just two hours of editing can bring clarity to such a large and broad body of work. Here’s what Mike came up with.

    This Thursday, Ryan McGinley will have his third solo show at Team Gallery. An exhibition of new work, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, will run from March 18 through April 17 and will be accompanied by a monograph published by Dashwood Book. David Strettell, the book’s publisher (also, of course, the owner of the New York’s only independent photography bookstore, Dashwood), spoke with Ryan for us to help us understand his segue from outdoor colors to black and white studio portraiture. Ryan also provided us with a preview of images from the new book.

I came to perceive things in both of these worlds by comparing each one. In my work, the presence of certain objects questions my memories, and my understanding, or lack thereof, of the world I inhabit.

I would constantly tell whomever is standing next to me: did you see this? there, did you notice? It seemed I was living in a different world, seeing a different layer of reality, one some people never see, or ignore. Coming from the country of Magritte and Ensor has had a formative impact on my perception.
