“A strong and select slate of photography exhibitions opens at New York galleries next week and in early February. They feature photographers who are known for pioneering specific techniques or who have gone beyond-sometimes way beyond-the kinds of commercial images they may be best known for. For these artists, pictures are far more than point-and-shoot.”

“James and Karla Murray had considerable success with their 2009 exhibit “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York,” which also inspired a coffee-table book. The pair had spent a decade tromping around the city’s boroughs, shooting the mom-and-pop stores (grocery and butcher shops, bodegas) they worried were vanishing from the cityscape. Several of the businesses had closed by the time the book was published, and the elegiac images of them, and of our town’s vernacular architecture, struck a chord. In a show opening Feb. 1, they’re exhibiting the second edition of the series, but it’s a broader, more expansive view of the city and includes snaps of New York’s (hopefully un-endangered) landmarks. ”
