		BAGHDAD SUITE Limited edition book I just signed number 71. Thanks everyone BAGHDAD SUITE A surrealistic moment from the streets of Baghdad. Andrew Phelps The definitions of place and time become diffused in a tightly edited selection of 8 large-format images depicting what we have come to recognize as a war-torn Iraq.

Baghdad Suite is a self-published book-on-demand in a limited edition of 100 numbered and signed copies. To read and see more, please go here, and here, and to FOTODOK Or better yet, read what the folks at 5b4 were able to get thier hands on.........

		I'm Mr. September 2008 Calendar from Peter Weiermair Grafiche Dell'Artiere Peter Weiermair has, in cooperation with the Grafiche Dell'Artiere printers in Bologna, produced a beautiful calendar for 2008.

"...Of the classical themes explored in art and photography over the past centuries none is so compatible with poetic reflections on the passing of time and the unvarying sequence of the seasons as the still-life...." Peter Weiermair I was happy to have an image form Higley selected for September, and to be in company with the following artists: Laura Letinsky Michael Ziegler Prabuddha Dasgupta Matthias Hermann Seiichi Furuya Xiao hui Wang Marilu Eustachio Evelyn Hofer Michael Wesely Roger Ballen Gerhard Trumler Christopher Muller

		4. trienalle for photography, hamburg Portfolio Reviews 11-20 of April, 2008 I have been invited to be a reviewer for the 4th Trianalle for Photography in Hamburg. From the 11th to the 20th of April 2008 Hamburg will be Germany’s centre of photography. The event will be about getting creative people together to create new things, here and elsewhere. It is about concentrating in one place unusual ideas, unlimited imagination, and extreme commitment to photography – in form of exhibitions, lectures, films, presentations, and encounters. It is about women and men from various countries throughout the world, with inputs of their personal experiences and ideas, who are showing what is happening throughout the world. And it is about giving a forum to the work of major photographers, both established talents and new ones. Also, if you are in town, be sure to catch the show of Bertien v. Manen at the Galerie Robert Morat.

		PHOTO-EYE Staff BOOK PICK HIGLEY selected by Ben Lerman December, 2007 Andrew Phelps: Higley This week's pick is by one of our newest staff members, Ben Lerman. "Prior to working here I got my BFA in photography at The California College of Arts and Crafts where I studied under Larry Sultan, Todd Hido, Chris Johnson and Magnum photographer Jim Goldberg, amongst others. After about a month of being at photo-eye I have chosen Higley, the fifth publication by Andrew Phelps, as my first staff pick. Under the pretense that 'Globalization is too big to take a picture of,' photographer Andrew Phelps returns to his hometown, Higley, where he finds it to be a microcosmic example of the global phenomenon. Higley is a metaphor for what is happening on the edge of every major city in the American west, farming towns being assimilated by their metropolitan neighbors. In this book Phelps has been able to not only examine a city rushing to lose a history that scarcely existed, but also to confront his family's roots, a narrative that mimics the transformation of the town itself. Photographed over three years, this body of 81 color images culminated at the same time Higley lost its name in an amalgamation with Phoenix, Arizona." —Ben Lerman PHOTO-EYE

		Some Portraits, Some Landscapes a show with Paul Kranzler at Simone Feichtner, linz Opening: Fr. 26.January, 2007 My friend paul and I will fill the walls of Simone Feichtner's new gallery with a visual mix of, well you can guess, some portraits and some landscapes. Our works bounce effortlessly between these two genres, convinced that they have more in common with one another than one might think; landscapes defined by their inhabitants-people influenced by their surroundings. Stop by, have a look, eat, drink and see Linz's newest place to be.
