Hilla Becher Obituary

I distinctly remember, as a teenager, seeing a Berna and Hilla Becher exhibition in Germany. I absolutely and instantly fell in love with photography and have remained a big fan of the media since.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Online Collection: Crib of the Infant Jesus

Crafthaus goes to...Equinox Gallery in San Antonio, TX

For the past few years, I have been fortunate to be able to spend a few weeks in Texas every December.
