Harlan Erskine contacted me this weekend.
At the moment there are some MFA exhibitions at the blockbuster schools. Before you read this look over Daniel Shea’s neat run down of SVA, Columbia & Yale photography grads.
As concerns Harlan’s graduating class at the SVA, here’s five picks:
Carlos Alvarez Montero for his street portraits, but more so for his meld of youth, friends & skating.

Maureen R. Drennan for her sophisticated restraint down at a marijuana farm.

Jessica Bruah because I think she takes a lot of shots and edits well. You don’t just “come across” the subjects Bruah photographs.

Scott Houston for a harsh, harsh and close view of meth and people … together. And for proof in the argument that captions are essential; providing caring and careful context for image.

Tina Schula gets a double shout out for two weird series. Ratlines (very top) is creepy & suspenseful. Oskar’s Sister (below) is playful, offensive & menacing.
