| Out Takes: Give us your best shot
Paul French, of Salt Lake City, snapped this sunrise on Utah's San Rafael Swell during a canyoneering trip in the summer of 2006. "It was kind of an aberration," French said. "There was just enough dust in the air to cause the rays to shoot of the cliff face." French was shooting with a Nikon D50 digital SLR with a wide-angle lens and a polarized filter. .

Pinup photos back in vogue
BIRMINGHAM -- Sun shines through the huge loft windows of Angela Karen's photography studio, offering even more of a spotlight for Tyler Whitten, a black-haired 25-year-old with piercing blue eyes. Whitten strikes her first pose wearing nothing but an oven mitt, an apron tied behind the neck and red, ruffled panties. She raises two cooking pots slightly in the air and stares into the camera with an expression that says if she makes anything, it will not be dinner. "That's so hot," said Karen, 28. "Now raise your arms a little higher." A few months ago Karen decided to offer a Valentine's package for everyday women who were interested in vintage pinup photography. Think Marilyn Monroe peeking seductively from under the sheets. Nothing lewd.
The Photography Show 07, Apr. 12-15, 2007, at the Park Avenue ...
We snuck into the nicely refurbished Park Avenue Armory during the special "curators and collectors preview" of the 27th annual Photography Show, sponsored by the Association of International Photography Art Dealers. As imposters, we tried to comport ourselves in a manner suitable to the occasion, primarily by wandering heedlessly from one alluring image to the next. An easy task at the AIPAD show, to be sure, what with its 90-plus exhibitors so neatly arrayed along padded gray-carpeted aisles with the 19th-century girders arching high above. The first thing that caught our eye was a glorious color portrait of Frida Kahlo at Throckmorton Fine Art, right by the fair entrance. The image belongs to the Hungarian-born New York portraitist Nickolas Muray (1892-1965), whose passionate affair with Kahlo (in the post-Diego days) is chronicled in the recently published book of love letters, I Will Never Forget You.
