HURRY! HURRY!

If you act now, there's just enough time to buy me a plane ticket so I can make it out to Boston for an amazing day-

First off, I'd take in the opening for Sandi Haber Fifield and Pelle Cass at Gallery Kayafas at 5:30.

and then I'd duck out just a wee bit early to make it over to support the Portland Trailblazers against the Boston Celtics. Please, we're running out of time, act now! Oh, and throw in tickets to the game too, will you?

sigh.

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

photo-eye has just published it's annual best-of lists of the previous year's photo books. This year, they've got lists by such luminaries as Alec Soth, Martin Parr, Jeffrey Ladd, John Gossage, and many others, including our very own Laura Moya. Give yourself a little time when you check it out- I've followed the link twice and find myself getting lost, in a good way, and re-surfacing much later.

By the way, it's also super-exciting to see so many photolucida/CM connections among the reviewers and the favorites. Both of our previous year's books, Peter Van Agtmael's 2nd Tour, Hope I Don't Die and Joni Sternbach's Surfland received mentions.

A FEW MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Note that I got the date wrong when I mentioned Ellen Rennard's work in that previous post- her work will grace the pages of Black and White Photography (UK) in February, not January. However, it ends up that she, along with other Critical Mass-ters David Maisel, Ian Van Coller, and Phil Toledano are all featured in Fraction Magazine's most recent issue. congrats...

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW


• Everyone in Portland loves Céline Clanet. Her show at Blue Sky is super-beautiful, her talk last weekend was super-interesting, and well, Portland's full of love already.

• Corden/Potts gallery is going SMaLL this month. Lots of familiar names on the list for this juried show: Ann Jastrab, Beth Kientzle, Charles Rozier, and more. Congrats gang...

Ellen Rennard is showing at the Griffin Museum of Photography. I haven't seen it yet, but I believe she's also featured in the January (CORRECTION: THAT'LL BE FEBRUARY) issue of Black and White Photography (UK). I know Ellen gained many fans when she shared this work in Critical Mass 2008 and I know that at least one of these opportunities was a direct result from that. Congrats Ellen.

• China, China, China... I'm behind on all this, and it warrants more than just a passing note. Among my tasks to complete this week, I want to gather and post some photos and info about this amazing trip to China that so many of our photo folks attended recently. I've been sent a couple links, but in the event that you were there, or know someone who was, send 'em my way.
