Dark city
'Dark city' is a natural sequel to Lynn Saville's colour photographs in Night/Shift (Monacelli, 2009). Her work in that book made her, in the words of Arthur C. Danto, \"the Atget of vanishing New York, prowling her city at the other end of the day, picking up pieces of the past in the present, just before it is swallowed in shadows.\" This book is a further exploration of the urban landscape at dusk and dawn, with a new focus on the effects of the recent economic turmoil on New York and other American cities. Shuttered stores and empty lots in city centers and fringe areas alike reveal a haunting and disquieting beauty. Occasionally, a person or the artist herself is visible as a ghosted image or shadow. Photographs in 'Dark city' also counter-balance signs of loss with a more optimistic message. They reveal a natural cycle of decay and rebirth in urban ecology, as objects such as ladders and brooms signal that the work of renewal is under way. 'Dark city' is ultimately a dynamic and ongoing dialogue between defined place and empty space that will fascinate general readers and urban specialists alike.

Acquainted With the Hour That Falls Before the Night
After undergraduate studies at Duke University in her native North Carolina, Ms. [Lynn Saville] moved to Brooklyn to attend Pratt Institute, where students were encouraged to go out after class and shoot whatever they found interesting. At that after-school interlude, between day's end and edge of night, she came to know Brooklyn like a thief. Along with her tripod and trusty Leica, she carried into the vacant reaches of the borough mental snapshots from masters of nocturnal imagery like Brassai and Hitchcock. At a given spot, she waited for the picture she felt was there to happen. Safety was a passing consideration. Here are the old lamplights of Montmartre that at some final hour shine for no one, or the filigree of festival lights that in the distance look like snowfall, strung over the Rialto Bridge. Or again, Brooklyn, where Ms. Saville regularly returns to familiar spots where, she says hopefully, ''some new element -- a headlight, an open window -- can single out objects in a different compositional dance.'' Lynn Saville's photograph ''Awning and Lights, Rialto Bridge (Venice)'' (2001), is part of her continuing exploration of cities. (Lynn Saville/Yancey Richardson Gallery)

Perspectives in scale, irony, and light
\"Fade Away\" features those words in sunset yellow and orange blazing across an image of a sunset over a lake, with a spiky, fallen tree trunk extending from the shore into the water broadcasting a message of death. Saville prowls the outskirts of the city at dusk and sets her camera up for long exposures, capturing the different glows of emerging lights - neon signs, construction lights, street lights - as they illuminate their surroundings.

Book Review
Twists on Tradition In Photography Shows
Walter Cieben and Stephanie Selles have turned their lenses on participants in street demonstrations. Mr. Selles focuses on anti-war protesters on Wall Street, highlighting their individuality rather than their common cause. Ms. Selles's shot of anti-abortion picketers injects wry humor into an otherwise deadly serious event by catching one of the protesters holding her sign upside down. Mary Jessiman, Barbara Imperiale and Allison Schubert take a more formalistic approach to their work. Ms. Schubert's two views of vine-covered trees are less nature studies than examinations of the organic interaction of natural forms. Ms. Imperiale's small vignettes of gauzy fabric are abstract pictures of light and shadow that sacrifice detail in favor of mood and atmosphere. Ms. Jessiman's study of factory smokestacks, amusingly titled ''Candy Cigarettes,'' illustrates how a photograph can draw a visual analogy between disparate subjects. [Bridget Lanigan]'s photograph ''Mom,'' above, is on display at the Stepping Stone Gallery in Huntington. ''Winter 2003,'' left, a digital print by [Joan Powers], is on view at fotofoto in Huntington, a new cooperative gallery whose first show features work by its 15 members. ''Coma,'' a toned and collaged silverprint by Rosemary Warner, is in the fourth biennial invitational exhibition at the Anthony Giordano Gallery at Dowling College in Oakdale.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
She further states that racial tension is high. It's people like Lewis who are keeping it high. Yes, a lovely girl won, Miss Debbye Turner, but don't put [Tami Elliott] down. She is also a lovely girl and was praised and promoted in our local paper for her efforts. I personally feel Lewis owes Elliott an apology and I bet Debbye Turner would agree with me. Instead, why doesn't Exxon use its profits as its should by staying in Alaska and cleaning up the oil spill and helping the seal, duck and other animal children? If you are one of the few people who are still stopping at Exxon stations, please think twice about Exxon's insensitivity. The Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce asks you if you live in Williamsburg and earn your money in Williamsburg to shop in Williamsburg.
