From the series Boonville, by Timothy Briner

Tim recently finished a small edition of hand-bound books for Boonville, and they look amazing. Each book consists of 37 black and white prints—printed, bound, and signed by the author. I am really looking forward to getting my copy.

Tim shared a few photographs from the making of the book, which you can see below.

Tim will also be exhibiting his work at Daniel Cooney Fine Art in January. A bit too early to mark your calendar, perhaps, but keep it on your radar.

Boonville was created with support from Cannery Works, a New York-based non-profit arts organization.

I spent a lot of time on this beach over the winter. It wasn’t until June that I discovered that it was clothing optional!

This print is available in two sizes:

8 by 10 inches
Edition of 20
Signed on the back
$25, including shipping to US and Canada (add $5 for shipping elsewhere)

11 by 14 inches
Edition of 10
Signed on the back
$50, including shipping to US and Canada (add $10 for shipping elsewhere)

Also available as in 16×20 & 30×38 editions, please contact me if you are interested.

From the series “Horses on the Backside” by Ellen Rennard

I received a print of the lovely photograph above in the mail this week from Ellen Rennard. I mentioned Ellen’s work recently when she had a piece in Daniel Cooney’s emerging photographer auction, but I thought it would be worthwhile to feature a few more photos from her website. They are so beautiful, and heartfelt.

Ellen’s work can be found at ellenrennard.com, and she has a blog, too.

The first interview can be found on Too Much Chocolate, thanks to Lisa Scheer.

The second interview is by Marek Wykowski, in the Landscapist group on Flickr.

Both interviews gave me the opportunity to talk about myself for much longer than should be allowed. Please enjoy.

• B - Blake Andrews - Blake and I seem to have similar interests. I loved today’s post on Sternfeld’s Approximately 17 of 41 Sperm Whales That Beached and Subsequently Died, Florence, Oregon, June 1979, as well as his always challenging (impossible, I say) quizzes.
• Kevin Miyazaki - Wonderful personal work from Kevin as well as the previously linked tinytinygroupshow.
• Lenscratch - Aline Smithson - Aline is always showcasing fantastic work. Where she finds the time or energy to maintain her frequently updated site I will never know, but she is a dynamo.
• Too Much Chocolate - Interviews and image galleries from up-and-coming photographers.

Those of you who love photo books (as I do) will enjoy these two sites dedicated to reviews of new and older titles. Beware, reading either one of these is guaranteed to cost you money.

• 5B4 - Jeff Ladd
• The Photo Book - Doug Stockdale

Please let me know what I have been missing in the comments.

There is some great work in this group show curated by Melanie McWharter. I especially liked Jonathan Feinstein’s contribution, as well as the images by Dan Nelken and Cynthia Greg.
