Jokang rooftop
Jokhang, also known as the Qoikang Monastery, Jokang, Jokhang Temple, Jokhang Monastery and Zuglagkang, is a Buddhist temple in Barkhor Square in Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet. Tibetans, in general, consider this temple as the most sacred and important temple in Tibet.
Mark Abrahamson is an American Postwar & Contemporary artist who was born in 1944. Mark completed a BA at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington and a DDS at University of Washington, Seattle. Abrahamson creates aerial photographs that depict abstract patterns found in the landscape. He notes that his work focuses on "the United States’ urban and rural environments, examining how man has altered the landscape, affected our watersheds and contributed to climate change." An environmental advocate, his project "Global Warming: An American Perspective" features lectures and photographs based on 20 years of experience documenting changes in the landscape. Part of artist Mark Abrahamson's portfolio of photographs taken in Tibet and China in the 1980's. This photograph highlights the rich colors Mark Abramson encountered there, and he notes: "Tibetan colors are bold and lavishly used in clothing, jewelry, for decorative purposes in public and private places, and in the many visual manifestations of their religion." This has been described as a silver bleach print. It is marked cibachrome verso. Cibachrome prints are created from color transparencies – typically slides – by a system completely different from traditional color prints to maximize sharpness, color intensity, clean whites and critical accuracy to the original slide. Ilfochrome, (formerly known as Cibachrome) is a dye destruction positive-to-positive photographic process used for the reproduction of slides on photographic paper. The prints are made on a dimensionally stable triacetate polyester base, essentially a plastic base opposed to traditional paper base. Since it uses azo dyes on a polyester base, the print will not fade, discolor, or deteriorate for a long time. Characteristics of Ilfochrome prints are image clarity, color purity, more environmentally safe, as well as being an archival process able to produce critical accuracy to the original slide.
Mark Abrahamson received 2006 GAP Award funding to complete and promote work on the “Global Warming” portion of his series Watershed Investigations. Using aerial photography, Mark describes changes in the earth’s topography caused by human interference. “Global Warming” will concentrate on depicting geographical changes in the atmosphere caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Portions of the series to be completed include photographs of melting glaciers in the North Cascades. The new work will travel nationally over the coming year.
Mark also received GAP Awards in 1991, 1995, and 2001, and a 2002 Fellowship.

- C Print Color Photo Mississippi Juke Joint Photograph African American AmericanaBy Birney ImesLocated in Surfside, FLBIRNEY IMES, Mississippi, b. 1951 "Riverside Lounge, Shaw, 1986" Dimensions: Chromogenic print, 14" x 16.5" sight. Framed 21" x 25". Birney Imes (born 1951) is an American photographer. He is best known for his photographs of the American South, especially his home state of Mississippi. His work is exhibited in museums across the United States. Birney Imes III was born in 1951 in Columbus, Mississippi. His father, Vinton Birney Imes, Jr., owned the town newspaper, The Commercial Dispatch. His mother is Nancy McClanahan Imes. He attended desegregated public schools in Columbus and graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History in 1973. Growing up white in the South during the Civil Rights Movement helped shape his views on history and that is where his photography career originated from. Imes began photographing after graduation from college and is largely self-taught. In the mid-70s, he worked as a photographer for his family's newspaper in his hometown of Columbus. Later, he opened his own studio above the Princess Theater in Columbus. Along with his personal work, Imes shot commercial work for local clients and took assignments for magazines like Rolling Stone, The Village Voice and Texas Monthly. His work has been printed in both black and white silver gelatin and color photos. Birney Imes’ photography takes viewers inside pool halls, jazz spots, juke joints and dilapidated restaurants scattered across that rural Mississippi landscape.
