Its the colours and the hair and the double exposure dreamy quality that draws me to Davis Ayer's photographs. For more truly scrumptious delights go to

Lorenzo Durantini - "I am interested in freeing up space between figuration and abstraction.
The tension between recognising meaning while interrogating its very
possibility has pushed me to the periphery of representation. My work
explores the detritus of the photographic studio through playful
sculptural interventions that question its role as a site for the
construction of meaning. I am interested in how carefully destructive
processes can reveal the hidden histories and expected lifespans
inscribed into everyday objects. My current interests include
photographic materiality, the architecture of the studio, immanence and
emancipatory desublimation."

Wisconsin Death Trip
This set includes a selection of photographs produced by Charles Van Schaick between 1890 and 1910 that were used in the book Wisconsin Death Trip by Michael Lesy (1973). The book has been reprinted several times and in 1999 James Marsh directed a film adaptation of the book, which was filmed in Wisconsin.
About the Photographer
Born in 1852 near Rochester, New York, Charles Van Schaick moved with his family to the vicinity of Portage where he later taught school. He learned photography after moving to Jackson County, and in 1885 opened a studio in his wife's home town, Black River Falls. There he was town photographer for fifty-seven years. His work includes both studio portraits and richly varied and intimate snapshots of small-town life.
There are approximately 5,600 glass plates in the Charles Van Schaick collection preserved at the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Jackson County Historical Society.
