June Bateman was recently interviewed by Photo District News on being a private dealer as opposed to gallerist.
From the interview: Bateman says it takes just as much energy and hustle to be a private dealer as it does to be a gallery owner, but the energy is directed toward different things. When you have a gallery, mounting exhibitions, publicizing them, organizing talks and events, and doing the other attendant work is very time consuming. "[Now] I am really able to focus more on my clients and their needs," Bateman says. "You always wish that you had more time when you are running a gallery."

Michael Massaia was recently featured on fotosavant.com:

Handcrafted photographic artist Michael Massaia sees images most people will never see. While that phrase is often just overheated prose in a press release, with Massaia it is literally true. He could be accurately compared to Haley Joel Osmet's character in The Sixth Sense. But rather than "seeing dead people", his photographic vision bears witness to a nether-world he walks as the night shift and partiers shuffle off to bed and before the day shift makes their way to cubicle, factory floor or office suite.

Nancy Hellebrand's new series of large color photographs, Learning to See, will be on exhibit at the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, PA from October 29, 2011 through February 26, 2012. The images are layered photographs of trees which result in unexpected compositions and calligraphic patterns. Julie Mellby writes, "These photographs pulse and pull and put us on the spot, in sharp relief to the traditional reverence and awe of historical landscape photography. Each print is a combination of several views balancing somewhere between elegance and outright chaos." More information >

A lecture by Hellebrand about her photographs will take place at the museum on November 6, 2011. Lecture information and registration >
