Andrew Bush
American, born 1956; lives Los Angeles, California
Records drivers on the freeways passing by in a blur and other images of flea markets where ordinary people's purchases or props become a trophy of their identity and passage through life.

Adam Fuss
English, born 1961; lives New York, New York
Untitled, from the series Details of Love, 1995
Unique cibachrome photogram mounted on acrylic
Fuss uses photography without the use of a camera. Such procedures recall the earliest photographs of the 1830's and 1840's. He uses unusual subject matter such as rabbit intestines (chitlins) almost in the style of an abstract painting. http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/microsites/photography/photographerframe.php?photogr apherid=ph069
Anthony Goicolea
American, born 1971, lives New York, New York
Midnight Kiss, 2004 and Blizzard, 2001
This guy is my age and has an unbelievable collection of work double that of some of the other photographers' in the exhibition. Giocolea photographs lots of self-portraits in very theatrical schoolboy scenarios. All the children/teenagers are actually Giocolea in staged settings.

Untitled #2424-A, from the Ohio Series, 1999
Photographs homes at Twighlight in monochromatic blues. His compositions put the viewer in the place of a Peeping Tom staring at a private place that we shouldn't be in.

Sally Mann
American, born 1951; lives Lexington, Virginia
Untitled, from the Mother Land: Virginia series, 1992
The toning process using tea that Mann uses for these photographs gives it the old fashioned look of a sepia toned photograph and can be easily mimicked with Adobe Photoshop.

Chromogenic print
Vik Muniz
Brazilian, born 1961; lives New York, New York
Eleven Eggs, from Dirt Series, 1997
Vik Muniz's photographs are very abstract and highly symbolic such as the Eleven Eggs that will be represented in the In Focus Exhibition. Vik Muniz also takes well-known images remembered from endless reproductions and recreates them from memory, using household materials like sugar, chocolate, and thread. http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/microsites/photography/photographerframe.php?photogr apherid=ph080

Paul Shambroom
American, born 1955, lives Minneapolis, Minnesota
Stockton, Utah (population 567), Town Council, June 11, 2001, 2001
Archival pigmented inkjet on canvas with varnish
Paul Shambroom photographs ordinary scenes from town meetings and school boards like a modern-day Rockwell. Shambroom deals with Identity and Place by contrasting low level power versus high level power. The process is an interesting technique that we can probably mimick with watercolor ink jet paper or canvas ink jet paper that we have in limited supply. Photo prints could then be embellished with other media such as paint, oil pastel, charcoal, etc.
