We shot a few images while I was working on the pieces for the NY Times magazine for their blog so I wanted to share them here.  You can see a sampling of the images the NYT sent me that they had from Yemen and then a series of outtakes from test pieces, failed pieces, me trying to work on the sequencing of the spread on the inside and the other spread that didn’t get used.  All were made on smaller prints so I had the ability to scan them on a flatbed.  Let me know if you have any q’s.

Drawn entirely from the Museum’s permanent collection, the exhibition features 25 photographs dating from 1979 to the present by 15 contemporary artists. The exhibition’s title, After the Gold Rush, is taken from a classic 1970 song by Neil Young, whose verses contrast a romanticized past with a present of squandered plenty and an uncertain future. Inspired by the recent political and economic upheavals in America and abroad, this selection juxtaposes new photographs that take the long view of the world’s current condition with prescient works from the 1980s and 1990s that remain startlingly relevant today. This is the first occasion for the Museum to present recently acquired works by:  Curtis Mann, Gretchen Bender, James Casebere, Moyra Davey, Katy Grannan, Hans Haacke, An-My Lê, Trevor Paglen, and Wolfgang Tillmans. Also featured are photographs by: Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Robert Gober, Adrian Piper, Laurie Simmons, Jeff Wall, and Christopher Williams.
