Winter Trees by Amy Heller

As Winter arrives on Cape Cod, trees become bare and beautiful in their various forms. At first glance they are just leafless totems, but on closer inspection they are so much more. The twists and turns of branches are almost human-like in form. I see dancers, phantom shapes and everything in between.

My imagination takes hold and I riff on their beauty by mirroring, repeating and enhancing their mysterious winter forms into meditative, Mandala-like images. Sometimes a tree is not just a tree.

Diana Markosian: Father

By Diana Markosian

Publisher : Aperture

2024 | 144 pages

Diana Markosian’s Father is an intimate and engrossing diaristic portrayal of estrangement and reconnection, recounted through documentary photographs, family snapshots, text, and visual ephemera.

Diana Markosian: Father presents the photographer’s journey to another place and another time, where Markosian attempts to piece together an image of a familiar stranger—her long-lost father. The book explores her father’s absence, her reconciliation with him, and the shared emptiness of their prolonged estrangement. The images, made over the course of a decade, take place in her father’s home in Armenia. In Markosian’s first monograph, Santa Barbara (Aperture, 2020), the photographer recreates the story of her family’s journey from post–Soviet Russia to the US in the 1990s. Father uses both documentary photographs and archives of objects, letters, and vernacular images to probe the fifteen years of absence and separation from the photographer’s childhood. In this voyage of self-discovery, Markosian touchingly renders her longing for connection to a man she barely remembers and who asks her, when she finds him, “Why did it take you so long?”

Mark Cohen: Tall Socks

By Mark Cohen

Publisher : GOST Books

2025 | 128 pages

Photographs taken in New York over 50 years ago by Mark Cohen will be published for the first time in Tall Socks. In July 1973 Cohen spent a month living in a dorm room at NYU while taking part in a film production workshop. His daily classes were short so he used his free time to walk around the city with his camera. Only a few of the images were printed at the time and the vast majority remained unseen, except as negatives, until now.
