I have a love/hate relationship with PHOTOGRAPH, my favorite photography periodical. I love the short articles about new books, new shows, news in general and their cover photographer/image. I love finding out exactly what’s happening in the world of photography just by reading every ad for upcoming shows and looking many up online.

But here are 10 good reasons why I hate PHOTOGRAPH for pointing out what I am missing by not living in NYC. And Atlanta. And Philadelphia. And LA.

1) The launch of the 5 day New York Photography Festival ’08 on May 14 in a 75,000 square foot exhibition space showcasing contemporary photography.

2) Two shows at Howard Greenburg Gallery/NYC – TIMES SQUARE, and SAUL LEITER -Women (Saul Leiter is one of my very favorite photographers. If you missed the exhibit last year at University of Maine Museum of Art in Bangor, you really blew it.)

3) HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON and HELEN LEVITT at Laurence Miller Gallery/NYC – June – August

4) AARON SISKIND at the Robert Mann Gallery/NYC

5) LEE FRIEDLANDER – Square Portraits at Janet Borden, Inc/NYC

6) W. EUGENE SMITH at Silverstein Photography/NYC

7) WILLIAM GREINER at Klompching Gallery/Brooklyn

8 ) BRUCE DAVIDSON at Jackson Fine Art/Atlanta

9) ARNOLD NEWMAN at Lumiere/Atlanta

10) FRANK PAULIN – Works in Color, 1950-2008, at Duncan Miller Gallery/LA

If the cost of visiting NYC wasn’t so high, I’d be down there for a weekend every other month. I’d find the time. But maybe what I need to find is someone with a place in NYC who would like to spend a weekend every other month in a fabulous condo in the center of Portland, Maine.

Anyone?
