On a visit to The Photography Show 07 last week at New York’s Park Avenue Armory, I saw a ton of inspiring, engaging work. A few highlights include Tomoko Sawada’s ID photobooth series, Ray K. Metzker’s contact sheet-like timelapse prints, a reminder of the brilliance of Minor White’s simplicity, the joyously graphic “Pretini” series by Mario Giacomelli, the hauntingly still “Grief” seriesb by Erwin Olaf, the lonely complexity of Andreas Gefeller’s images, and—last but not least—a fantastic Cherry Hill filling station by the great George Tice.
