Janelle Lynch found the shape before the light.

For Summer Wreath, she noticed the colors and the shape formed by plants on her Catskills property. She set up the camera, kept a cattle gate and a snow fence outside the frame, and watched the light move. Ten hours later, it reached the wreath.

What stays with me is that she had already found the composition. Waiting allowed her to photograph the form she had noticed in the light she wanted. Choosing the frame and choosing the moment were separate parts of making this image.

Her attention to light also changed through painting. She describes spending hundreds or thousands of hours mixing and studying color. What did that change in her photographs?

I had a wonderful time at the @prcboston gala this past Saturday. I was honored to be one of the mentors for their 50th Anniversary Mentorship Program, which allowed me to work with @alinabalseiroart over a 6-month period as they developed a body of work and prepared it for exhibition.

My relationship with the PRC began many years ago when I was an undergrad at @massartboston, and they provided important early support of my work (thank you @leslie.k.brown!). I’m excited for their next chapter!

And, it’s always a delight to be back with my Boston + MassArt photo fam. ❤️📷❤️

Michael Light LA Day / LA Night (2010). Essay by David L. Ulin. Conversation with Michael Light by Lawrence Weschler, accompanied by Wisława Szymborska’s poem “Maybe All This.”

From the publisher:
LA Day stares directly into the sun, washing the metropolis in blasted, relentlessly specific light. LA Night drifts over it in an ever-darkening electric dream, until the vast city below reverses and begins to signify the starry night sky vaulted above. Referencing Ed Ruscha, Peter Alexander, Julius Schulman, and writers from Philip K. Dick to Raymond Chandler, LA Day/LA Night continues Los Angeles’ rich cultural legacy of examining its favorite schizophrenic subject—itself.

Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) was an American modernist painter married to the photographer Alfred Stieglitz.

O'Keeffe's early works, painted during the 1920's and 1930's, hovered between figuration and abstraction. Her first large-scale flower painting was exhibited in New York in 1925. This marked the beginning of a period of exploration on the flower theme that would continue throughout her career.

In the summer of 1929, O’Keeffe made the first of many trips to northern New Mexico. The stark landscape and Native American and Hispanic cultures of the region inspired a new direction in her art. For the next two decades she spent most summers living and working in New Mexico and made the state her permanent home in 1949, three years after Stieglitz’s death.

"Georgia O'Keeffe: In New Light", a new book release published by Radius Books @radius.books is a fully illustrated summary of O'Keeffe's work from her very early pieces to her later paintings.
Copies of the book can be pre-ordered here:

This title will be released on the 27th of October 2026.

SHORT TALK ⠀
ON WALKING BACKWARDS⠀
⠀
My mother forbad us to walk backwards. That is how the dead walk, she would say. Where did she get this idea? Perhaps from a bad translation. The dead, after all, do not walk backwards but they do walk behind us. They have no lungs and cannot call out but would love for us to turn around. They are victims of love, many of them.⠀
⠀
—Anne Carson, from the book, Short Talks @brick.books

LEX>>DEN>>SAF on Oct 7. My seat somehow got reassigned from DEN to SAF with extra legroom. 💺🦵 Was able to make a quick stop by the Radius Books in Santa Fe, known for publishing photobooks and photo exhibition catalogues. Slater, who works over there, has a New Topographic tattoo. I guess we are all photo nerds and diehard New Topographic fans. 😳😂😎

This fall marks twenty years of making work with my Deardorff 8x10 view camera. In 2006, I took the leap from the 4x5 to the 8x10 after Stephen Shore suggested that it would “suit my temperament and subject matter.” He was right! Thank you, Stephen, @ericweeksphoto, who helped ease the transition, and Jeff Hirsch at @fotocarenyc, who has been a generous supporter, once taking my camera home to fix it for free.

These were the first images I made with the Deardorff that became part of my first @radius.books monograph, Los Jardines de México, 2010.

Akna is a series of portraits of tree stumps that explores regeneration, interdependence, and the generative potential of the natural world. I made the work in a nature preserve in the central Chiapas mountain range of Mexico. Named for the Mayan word for “mother,” Akna is also the Mayan goddess of birth and fertility.

The stumps are covered with epiphytes—ferns, mosses, bromeliads, and orchids—that draw sustenance from the air and rain rather than from their host. Relying on the stumps for physical support, these plants transform the remnants of felled trees into sites of renewal. What appears to be an ending becomes a foundation for new life, revealing the forest as a network of interdependent relationships in which one form of life can sustain another.

“Josephine,” “Bertha,” “James,” I titled the photographs after people who have played nurturing roles in my life. These portraits bring the ecological and the personal into dialogue, reflecting on the capacity to sustain life beyond one’s own and suggesting that regeneration, whether human or environmental, emerges through relationships of care, support, and reciprocity.

Available:
@radius.books Los Jardines de México Limited Edition, includes a 16x20-inch print.

Copies of Love Pictures are going quickly... our last launch event will take place in November at the @parisphotofair.

In the meantime, grab one of the remaining copies from @radius.books.

"Love Pictures, published by Radius Books, a series of portraits of loved ones and Dugan’s queer community accompanied by conversations and exchanges with friends and colleagues like Dawoud Bey, Kelli Connell, Dorothy Moss, and Gem Fletcher, are an act of affirmation of the artist’s queer identity, where photography is an act of seeing and valuing, and, in reflection, as a way of being seen by others. It is an intimate, courageous act of trust, of opening up to others to allow them to see and understand, step by step, picture after picture, new forms of relationality, love, and hope." - @photovogue

Santa Fe Workshops collection of free online events, Creativity Continues, features a special presentation with photographer Mimi Plumb (@mimi_plumb) and David Chickey, Publisher, Designer, and Creative Director at Radius Books (@radius.books). Their conversation explores Mimi’s extensive career and the process of bringing her work together in her new monograph, Blazing Light.

Through images and conversation, Mimi and David look at three major bodies of work featured in Blazing Light: The White Sky, Landfall and The Golden City, and The Reservoir. Together, they trace more than five decades of image-making and explore how these projects reflect Mimi’s ongoing interest in California and the West. They also discuss the process of translating such an extensive body of work into a single volume and how the three projects come together.

The program concludes as Mimi and David engage in a live Q&A with the webinar audience. For those unable to attend live, a recording is available to all registered participants.
