The June edition of Hong Kong Photo Magazine ran a two page article on my Shanghai photography, including reproductions of four images from my Disappearing Shanghai show. The magazine can be found at http://photo.popart.hk

With this month's Image of the Month, which appears on the opening page, I am introducing color on this site. Fans of black and white need not fear. It will retain pride of place here, and it remains my default mode of photographic expression, and very happily so. The plan, though, is to structure the site so that color work, which I'll be adding very gradually, can exist in its own, meaning separate space. For the time being, there's just this one picture. Those who stay tuned, though, will be treated to a roll out of ever more content. In other news, I'm down to the very last few copies of my Disappearing Shanghai catalog, which is a faithful reproduction of the very first gallery show of this work, in October 2006 at Gallerie Zero in Berlin. I am in discussions with printers about a catalog of the fully updated, indeed I would venture definitive version of this work, which was shown concurrently in Shanghai (M97 Gallery) and St. Louis (Mildred Lane Kemper Musuem). The Kemper acquired nine of the images for their permanent collection. Details of the new catalog to come. Orders of prints and folios from the show have been strong. Please contact me directly in you are interested in acquiring either. Finally, I will have some important and exciting personal news to share here soon concerning a major career move. Howard

I am including an article below by Jamason Chen, which appears in the April 29, 2007 issue of China Photo News about my recently completed project, "Disappearing Shanghai." I've been a little remiss in keeping this news page up to date, and a lot has been happening.

Disappearing Shanghai was shown in its definitive version in nearly simultaneous shows in China and the United States in February. Here in Shanghai, the work appeared in a 51-image exhibit at the gallery M97, and the work was displayed concurrently at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum in St. Louis, MO. Kemper has also acquired nine of my medium format images from the show for its permanent collection.

In April, there were smaller shows of the work at Carleton College and the University of Minnesota, and I gave talks about photography and about this work in specific at both schools.

The Shanghai-based arts magazine, Zing, also published some of the work in April, along with an essay of mine.

It is my hope that with my move back to New York in the Fall, that I'll be able to arrange a proper gallery showing for the work in the city. Inquiries are of course welcome.
