Soul Steps I.08 -- Luigi Fieni

Congratulations to Luigi Fieni who has recently been selected for Honorable Mention in the Nature category of the 6th Annual Photography Masters Cup. Fieni entered images from his Soul Steps portfolio, a selection of landscapes  of the remote Mustang kingdom of Nepal. The mountains and valleys Fieni photographs are places of spiritual pilgrimage and seem almost otherworldly in their rich colors and beauty.

Hartwell & Mark, The Pigeon River, Denton, Tennessee, 2008 -- Jeff Rich

An exhibition of Jeff Rich's Watershed is currently on view at United Photo Industries in Brooklyn, NY. Stop by at 3pm today to hear Rich give an artist talk. Watershed is Rich's investigation into the state of the waterways in the French Broad system, rivers that are a favorite recreational destination, but have also been the site of dumping from factories on their banks. Watershed was the 2010 winner of Photolucida's Critical Mass, and a book of his work was published in 2012.
