“Les, Amber, Honeybees, New Mexico” is an image from Holly Lynton’s series titled “Barehanded”. Inspired by the locavore lifestyle that surrounds her in Massachusetts farm country, Lynton has gained a deep appreciation for spirituality. She is particularly drawn to people who face nature’s dangers with their own bare hands, such as bee keepers, who humbly show their respect for nature through their own vulnerability.

Enrique Ahumada gained inspiration from the creative atmosphere of art directors and photographers he works with at a Los Angeles advertising agency. Influenced by imagery of the female form, he began developing ‘Women in Windows’, an expression of his inner voyeur.

Michael Kenna’s “Fishing Nets, Smarlacca, Veneto, Italy, 2006″ is part of an upcoming exhibition, Venice/China/Japan/Egypt/Etc., opening at the Catherine Edelman Gallery on May 7, 2010.  Alongside images from Venice, the exhibit will feature photographs from Japan, the Huangshan Mountains in China, the pyramids in Cairo, mussel and oyster beds in the Chausey Islands and rock formations in  Punta Brava. Whether photographing in his  hometown of Seattle or halfway around the world, Michael Kenna has developed a signature style that is un-mistakenly his own. Void of people, he invites viewers to meander with him through places that are both remote and heavily trafficked, reminding us of the beauty we tend to over look.

Grass is not an option in Salton City, which survives on water pumped in from the Colorado River. With 20 million more residents expected in California by 2050, the quest for water is never over. This image is part of a new exhibition organized by National Geographic and the Annenberg Space for Photography. The exhibition is based on “Water: Our Thirsty World,” the current issue of National Geographic. Read more about the photography in the issue and exhibition in PDN’s April Exposures feature here.
