When the first photographers aspired to art in the 19th century, they were profoundly disturbed by the camera's sharp and indiscriminating eye. As a result, they tried to make photographs that resembled paintings. Using classical, posed subject matter (half-draped nudes by a mountain stream and the like), they manipulated the photographic process to produce fuzzy, vaguely romantic images. After World War I, art photographers finally began to come to terms with the nature of their medium. Photographers such as Steiglitz and Strand discovered the artistic possibilities of sharp focus and modern subject matter. Their approach was formal, carefully...
...creates images out of the past, out of the distortions of memory. Using a $1.50 camera, her photographs are strangely fuzzy and distorted. However, the early photography--it intensifies rather than diffuses the image's impact. Mysterious, surrealistic and luminescent, her work is not the product of the physical eye, but the eye of memory. MacNeil is interested in the past as a "pre-history" to the present. She sets family snapshots from her subjects' earlier years next to her own portrait of the subject to give unusual insight into the chronological progression of an individual from youth...

Still, the Pudding cast is one of the last all-male--this year...
...Americans foreign policy has always been conducted with at least one eye on domestic politics. Since the Chinese Revolution, American presidents have assumed that their "mandate" includes an obligation to shore up capitalism everywhere we can. Each has assumed that he must be as tough as "the enemy." But buried in the cover story on Cambodia in the latest Newsweek is a revealing reference to "the White House's puzzling failure to marshall witnesses for Congressional testimony or to lobby key congressman for their support." If the president can't be that tough, he must at least appear that...
