IN ISSUE FOURTEEN:

If the complete lack of antihistamines at Walgreens didn’t make it clear, a quick look out the window will confirm it: New Mexico is in the midst of spring. The trees are budding, flowers blooming, and the winds are raging. The temperature is just about perfect. The bees are back in business and as the plants and animals emerge from their winter hibernation, it’s easy to feel connected to the natural rhythms of the planet. It can’t be an accident that Earth Day is in April, and with our mind on all the photographers around the state inspired by the natural world, we decided our April edition of Finite Foto would be devoted to the Environment.

In this issue Melanie McWhorter interviews Dornith Doherty about the world’s botanical reserves; Subhankar Banerjee writes about his photographic work; David Ondrik reviews Earth Now: American Photographers and the Environment; we show Jamey Stillings’ new photos; Antone Dolezal talks to Phil Underdown about his recent work; Jennifer Schlesinger presents Nancy Sutor’s Compose Decompose; Jonathan Blaustein profiles Dorie Hagler; and we show a portfolio of Jeremiah Ariaz’s work.

Jamey Stillings’ The Bridge at Hoover Dam Jeremiah Ariaz’s Reconsidering Landscape Dorie Hagler’s Keeping the Faith Nancy Sutor’s Compose Decompose Phil Underdown’s The Projects That Find Me: An Interview with Phil Underdown by Antone Dolezal Earth Now: A Book Review by David Ondrik Documenting the World’s Botanical Reserves: An Interview with Dornith Doherty by Melanie McWhorter Full Circle: Birds of New Mexico: A Personal Essay by Subhankar Banerjee

Finite Foto: Alternatives

We launched Finite Foto's Alternatives issue last month. We have switched to a bimonthly magazine so the recent content is online. Visit finitefoto.com to see the entire issue or search the back issues.

"Alternative is a tricky description. To be meaningful, it relies on an accepted mainstream. And when something that was once an alternative becomes ubiquitous, is it still useful to call it alternative? I can't help but snicker when people call Nirvana or The Cure "alternative music," as if filling stadiums with screaming fans and heavy rotation on the radio is only mainstream when it's the Rolling Stones or Britney Spears. Just like music, when talking about photography it is increasingly difficult to define what "mainstream" is.  Is it an aesthetic? A process? A subject? How many people like it? When it is difficult to agree on a mainstream, it is even more difficult to meaningfully describe an alternative." -- David Ondrik

The First Anniversary Issue of Finite Foto: Where We Live

Iscah Trujillo

"In one short year, this collective has struggled with many issues. Longevity in the time of the internet can be short-lived, but we hope that Finite Foto will continue to produce quality content for years to come. The images in this, our First Anniversary Issue, are a mix of shoot-from-the hip snapshots and well-rounded portfolios about each artist’s notion of their idea of home as place. Many of the artists have supported us throughout the year with interviews, articles and portfolio features and a few are new contributors to our magazine. Welcome to our First Anniversary Issue, we hope you enjoy." — from the introduction of Finite Foto Issue 11
