Settling back into the Hudson Valley, post Paris, ruminating on the fabulous occasions and special beings, as well as all those I failed to picture and document.
I expect this suggests the actual experience superseded any attempts at capture. Thanks to all who made time for us. Julie Casemore and her terrific associates/friends are at the top.
Celebrating (two of) the finest human being(s) to share the planet. Happiest of milestones, dearest friend (@jfridlyand ) ๐๐๐ฅณ. You make our common estate the gorgeous, benevolent world it is. ๐
Quiet that precedes the thunder.
Our install with @casemoregallery this week during @parisphotofair . A few new artist books + folios + works on view, as well as works from the past five years that have revealed themselves as foundation for the more recent interests.
A joy to be in Paris with @juliecasemore@janieeperezz@small.works.sf & Chris Gunder, to meet up with friends & toast another year of art life.
โWinter Auctionโ edit and unique prints were made by Raymond Meeks and included in this assemblage from a film archive created in collaboration with adriannaault.
JOIN US IN PALERMO, ITALY for this 5day workshop with Raymond Meeks !
The Photobook Project: using the photobook form as an artistic tool, April 18-22 2026.
Raymond Meeks (b. 1963) is widely known and well respected as photographer and book-maker who has published over twenty photobooks in a wide range of formats since 2009.
The goals of this workshop will be:
* To consider the book as a space or vessel where a viewer might have a unique experience based on the ways their imaginations are activated. This has as much to do with the authors choices in what to include and what to omit and how this leaves room for the viewer to complete the work.
* Learn to make refined use of the books formal structure and devices: sequencing, editing, cropping, design, size, paper, etc., and how our limitations (absence of sound, motion) can become an asset.
* Create a book that makes use of serial narrative as a structure for organizing photographs and delivering a unique experience.
* Learn how to edit and sequence your images in such a way that they activate each other and create suspension from beginning to end.
During this workshop, youโll work on your photobook project but you will also be able to go out shooting with the group and Raymond Meeks in a specific location. There will also be one day devoted to the production of your photobook dummy.

A few details from ourโintervention | recoveryโ workshop @cpw_kingston . Six supremely talented and tireless artists from diverse backgrounds gathered to summon accident/chance interventions as a new element of their practice. This was experimental for me, attempting to design conditions which would allow for accident/interventionโand then engage in the act of recovery to inform our final works. Thank you to the participants๐ฉต

Will somebody please tell me why I love this book so much? Aside from how centered and grounded I feel in its presence, the fundamental ways Iโm led back to what feels essential, elemental, enduring and true.
A quiet wonder from eastern Nebraska.
Thank you, Mad. ๐
