...frank discussion of sexual morality, celibacy, women priests or homosexuality, it's not likely to happen anytime soon. The usual diversions designed to avoid these subjects were thrown about with abandon. This is a purely American problem, some church spokesmen argued, as if scandals weren't exploding elsewhere: an ABC News report charged the Vatican itself with covering up abuse claims against a priest previously praised by the Pope. Then there was the scapegoating of gays. Equating homosexuality with child abuse is one of the oldest slanders there is - but this church didn't hesitate to invoke it to deflect...

...series “Transparent and Opaque,” Bochner seems to abandon his flirtation with perspective and use textural nuance as the springboard for further photographs. By photographing glass surfaces smeared with either Vaseline or shaving cream and brightly colored with filtered lights, these photographs transform mundane, household accoutrements into stunning artistic landscapes. While the Vaseline acted as a shiny, phosphorescent light trap of transparency, the voluminous viscerality and lush corporality of the shaving cream reflect light, recording the light without the presence of its own physical existence. Bochner distills and separates the reflected color as imposed...
