The Second Pass...Was the starting line of an old friend’s poem. The line was the seconds pass / like hands thru glass. I always loved those lines. In my head I always replaced hands with eyes. It puts a name on those moments when you stare into space, lapsing into a daydream, and the world is just spinning by. Sometimes I step out of those moments, only a little, just enough to think in my head those words – the seconds pass. Like an inner tick-tock, taking note that everything is slipping away, especially time.

These photographs were all shot from inside a car, mostly a moving one. I never went out driving just to shoot pictures. Each one of these was shot going from point A to point B for some other reason, organically; they represent the in-between. Most of it is from my frequent visits to LA from my home in Huntington Beach, 1 hours' drive south. But there is also a lot from taxi rides in Paris,Moscow, London, Barcelona, and St Petersburg. Cross-country tours of USA, Australia, Chile and Argentina. These photos have been collected from my archives and span back over 15 years. - Ed Templeton

Richard Miller: Over the Long Run?Vintage Carbro Prints, The Hollywood Freeway and L.A. in B/W
In the summer of 2009, Richard C. Miller’s photographic career was given long overdue recognition in the form of an exhibition at the Getty Museum.   As a practitioner of the early color process known as carbro printing, Miller’s work was positioned adjacent to an exhibit of one of the masters of that technique, Paul Outerbridge.   A difficult and time-consuming process requiring the layering of cyan, magenta and yellow pigment separations, carbro printing was exploited by Outerbridge and Miller for both commercial and fine art applications.  In fact, a career breakthrough occurred for Miller in 1941 when he submitted to the Saturday Evening Post a carbro print of his daughter Linda praying at the Thanksgiving table and peaking at the turkey.   It was one of the first color photographs to displace Norman Rockwell on the magazine’s covers...

Marcos Zimmermann: Desnudos Sudamericanos

One of Argentina’s premier photographers, Zimmerman’s new body of work, “Desnudos Sudamericanos,” is a series of nude portraits of men of South America revealed with surprising frankness and sensitivity.  This series of male nudes is, for Zimmermann, another approach to viewing the “landscape” of his South America as very distinct from the photographic landscape books of South America he has previously published.

Desnudos sudamericanos (South American Nudes), a six year project that took Marcos Zimmermann through seven South American countries, is a daring and challenging accomplishment.  Although implied by the nature of nude photography itself, Zimmermann’s photographs do not deliberately refer to his subjects’ sensuality nor are they intended as erotic images though, depending on one’s point of view, it is certainly possible to construe them as such.  Zimmermann’s objective with Desnudos is to document South American individuals in their natural environments...
