Catalog for the exhibition "Through The Plain Camera: Small And Shapely Pleasures In Contemporary Photography" held at Haverford College's Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery October 21-December 11, 2011. Co-Curated by Sarah Kaufman and Rebecca Robertson the exhibition features the work of Jessica Backhaus, Elizabeth Fleming, Vita Litvak, Christian Patterson, and Shen Wei. About the Exhibit:While contemporary photographic practice has recently moved toward the the constructed image, this show celebrates five photographers who take pictures. Theirs remains "a process based not on synthesis but on selection," as John Szarkowski wrote in 1966. Embracing photography’s essential characteristics, they ask the world to reveal itself and to represent something more, building a web of meaning through relationship and metaphor.
