NYC session next week: Hidden Gems in PS CS5

If you’ll be in New York next Wednesday, you might want to drop by Foto Care 10am-12pm for a free class covering Hidden Gems in Photoshop CS5 featuring PM Bryan O’Neil Hughes.

Photography: The sacred & profane in Eastern Europe

I’ve spoken admiringly in the past of Bruce Haley‘s photojournalism. Now he’s produced a new monograph called Sunder:

Produced between 1994 and 2002, the images in SUNDER sweep the viewer along on a far-reaching journey through numerous former USSR and Iron Curtain countries, stopping at landscapes of ruin and moments of grace in equal measure. Haley’s explorations were intuitive, responding to a deep curiosity to taste the last drops of the would-be Utopian ideology that dominated global politics during the first thirty years of his life.

Bryan Hughes & I have been trying for ages to get down to the bottom of Bixby Canyon to visit Bruce & his beer fridge*. Hopefully we can do that soon & maybe share a trip report.

* But not, presumably, “goddamn barbecued monkey leg”
