    Stephen Berkman (Hat & Beard Press, 2020)

    "My friend Stephen Berkman's amazing project Predicting the Past: Zohar Studios, The Lost Years  was 20 years in the making — and his solp exhibition at the Contemporary Jewish Museum was its first unveiling. The show was shut down on opening day, but I was able to see it just an hour before the museum closed. The exhibition is available  virtually online , although a virtual tour isn’t like the real thing. "

     

    Television

    "In order to remember what day it is, every Sunday has become homemade pizza night, along with a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers film. There are some really creative and strange scenes in these films. I am constantly amazed that some of the dance scenes are done perfectly in one take, and it's amazing how many classic songs came out of those films."

    From the Vault

    Chris McCaw's early platinum prints depict his family's farm in California's Central Valley: "It is my intention for this project to stand as a document of my family's history, and a way of life that is ending in California."
