Bird Watching
"Paula McCartney's Bird watching series has been included in the Midwest Photographers Project at the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College, Chicago since 2005."
Failed Views
Failed Views combines photographs of-or representing-nature. While the book is titled, Failed Views, it is this failure, either in the attempt to simulate nature or in nature being thwarted by itself, that makes these scenes worth considering. This book continues my use of humor as a way to engage the viewer as evidenced in previous projects such as Bird Watching and Book of Trees. Books allow the viewer to enter into another world for a while and now feels like a good time to offer a humorous and peculiar experience of landscape.
My Life Is Perfect

When Paula, a recent recipient of a Masters Degree in English as a Second Language, decides that she needs some practice on teaching ESL, her girlfriend Zoe graciously offers her brother Dhaex's help. Dhaex is no friend of Paula's and the two get off to a rocky start. When Dhaex and his friends discover that Paula is a virgin, they make a bet that Dhaex has to get Paula into bed before the summer is over. But Paula catches on to the bet quickly and is determined not to let Dhaex win. Will Paula put Dhaex in his place or will Dhaex be the missing ingredient in her life?
Sally Mann
Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of ber woodland summer home in Virginia, Sally Mann's extraordinary, intimate photographs of hcr children : Emmett, Jessie, and Virginia reveal truths that embody the individuality of ber immediate family and ultimately take on a universal quality. Mann states that ber work is "about everybody's memories, as well as their fears," a theme echoed by Reynolds Price in his eloquent, poignantly reflective essay accompanying the photographs in Immediate Family. With sublime dignity, acute wit, and feral grace, Mann's pictures explore the eternal struggle between the child's simultaneous dependence and quest for autonomy, the holding on, and the breaking away. This is the stuff of which Greek dramas are made : impatience, terror, self-discovery, self-doubt, pain, vulnerability, role-playing, and a sense of immortality, all of which converge in Sally Mann's astonishing photographs. A traveling exhibition of Immediate Family, organized hy Aperture, opened at the Instituts of Contemporary Art in Philadclphia in the fall of 1992. All of the photographs in Immediate Family were taken with an 8-by-10-inch view camera.
PreachersNSneakers
