Photo from the India portion of Eskildsen’s Roma Journeys
Check out the photography of Joakim Eskildsen. Gorgeous shots. His Roma Journeys book is epic, a clumination of years of continuous work. Also worthing of checking out is his lengthy list of self-published books. Jörg Colberg has a recent interview with Eskildsen.

I’ve posted about the photography of Robin Schwartz before. Robin is having a show at Tomasulo Gallery in Cranford, NJ of her Amelia World series. The show opens this Friday, March 14th from 6-8pm and runs until April 17th:
Animals have always been an important part of Schwartz’s work and are represented as part of our everyday world. The Amelia photographs are drawn from real journeys with her daughter, generated fantasies. The photographs create fables of an allegorical and imaginary world. Schwartz explains that she and Amelia, “…play out their eccentricities where Amelia and animals not only co-exist but also have relationships. Animals are not props in my photographs and are not “PhotoShopped” in. Our world is one where the line of who is a person and who is an animal overlaps, is blurred.”
In addition, Amelia’s World is being published by The Aperture Foundation as part of the Tiny Vices series. very cool!
If you go to the show, tell Robin I said ‘hi!’
i heart photograph is a pretty rad fine art photography blog. tons of great photos dug from all over the place. definitely a big time killer.
Robin Schwartz explores our relationship with animals. Her photography is gorgeous. go take a look.
Oliver Vernon has a crazy mashup 3d painting style. He manages to crowd references to several opposing schools of painting all into one canvas. [via It's Nice That]
Stina Persson’s watercolor illustrations are beautiful. I love the 60’s french fashion vibe. $800 a print, wow. [via ffffound!]

THE GLASS BETWEEN US - REBECCA NORRIS WEBB. A photography series that “explores the complicated and vulnerable relationship that exists between people and animals in cities.” Amazing. We visited the Central Park Zoo in NYC this past summer, the first time I’ve been to a zoo in maybe 10 years.(?!) We talked about these very same issues as I took photos of the polar bears in 90º weather and the penguin exhibit as well. [via the jocose pen of Amy Stein]
Reed Danziger has some gorgeous paintings. I love the abstract textures and little touches. His work definitely has a passing analog/digital discourse with the work of Joshua Davis. The difference being that Danzinger creates his compositions by hand, whereas Davis uses programming to create his. [via Art/Moco]
