Ok, sorry I know I shouldn't rush it, but that first smell of fall, wood burning and leaves crunching, the constant chatter of the presidential candidates and the looming issue of, "I have no idea what I want to be for Halloween", combines to create a sense of excitement here at ol' AIPH.
As we do, we've compiled a list of a few happenings in the area--just in case you were inclined to get up off that couch and go see what's going on in the world!

American Horizons: The Photographs of Art Sinsabaugh
Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery
Haverford College
Now through December 14, 2008
Trained at Chicago's famed Institute of Design, Art Sinsabaugh (1924-1983) made his artistic breakthrough in the early 1960s with a giant "banquet" camera that produced 12 x 20-inch negatives. He developed a unique methodology that utilized the extra-large-format contact prints cropped (sometimes dramatically) to evoke the sweeping horizons he saw in nature. He was a landscape photographer in the broadest sense: he photographed the spaces—both rural and urban—that we inhabit.
The retrospective "American Horizons: The Photographs of Art Sinsabaugh," organized by the Indiana University Art Museum, represents the first complete survey of the artist's career ever assembled. It includes over eighty-five photographs, with the majority drawn from the Art Sinsabaugh Archive at Indiana University, Bloomington. The retrospective is accompanied by the long-awaited monograph on the artist, written by Keith F. Davis, noted photo-historian and the exhibition's guest curator, and a 19-minute video on the artist's life, produced by the Indiana University's Radio-Television Services and recently broadcast nationally by PBS.
