New York's Yancey Richardson gallery recently announced that Nazraeli Press will release a monograph of Don Donaghy's work in fall 2007. Though this photographer is associated with the New York School, his work has been neglected (in part due to the relatively short span of his professional career). This monograph will be the photographer's first.
I was introduced to Donaghy and his work at Hemphill some time ago. Looking forward to seeing new images—as I understand it, there are still pictures from the 60s, his active period, that he's never printed—by this hard-scrapple photographer.
Michael Paglia wrote a comprehensive account of the photog in a review in the Denver Westworld some years back. Click-click.

Am I correcting the Grammar Police?
Cheers

Thanks, Mary.

the comment about "images never printed" deserves some attention ... for most photographers, the majority of images are never printed; they exist only on negatives, on contact sheets or nowadays in computer storage; more interestingly, Don Donaghy does still have many prints never _exhibited_; some of these will be in the Nazraeli book
