I recently completed a short but fruitful Artist-in-Residence appointment at the Center for the Study of Place in Arthur, Nebraska. The Center houses the Cotton Mather Library, and is on the edge of the Sand Hills, one of the most sublime stretches of land I have ever seen. I was there photographing at the invitation of George F. Thompson, acclaimed publisher and founder of the Center.

I received news recently that I’ve been nominated for the Santa Fe Prize, which “recognizes and supports a gifted and committed photographer who has completed, or is near completion of, a meaningful body of work.” To learn more about the award, click here.

Andrew Beckham is a lot of things, but I would consider him a visual poet, using language both written and visual to construct nuanced work that is compelling, fragile, and poignant. He is the Joseph Cornell of the photo world, combining photographic memory with objects imbued with ideas and meaning.
