Artist/photographer Barry Stone lives and works in Austin, Texas where he makes photographs, drawings, collage and paintings. Seemingly a photographer first, Stone’s work has moved beyond the traditional understanding of that practice into something broader.

Photographer Thomas Roma was born in Brooklyn and, since about 1974, has made the majority of his work in Brooklyn—photographing the houses, the churches, the streets and the people—using a medium format camera he made himself. His work is stunning, gritty and beautiful, typically all at the same time; exploring that thin space between the mundane and the transcendent. Due to his practice of photographing everyday, Roma is incredibly prolific: “I come from a working class background. My understanding is that whatever you are doing, you do every day. You do it until the job is done or you’re exhausted and then you can have a drink in the evening.”
