Her photos are every beautiful example of architecture. Abbott also photographed scientific subjects for Life and for three secondary school physics textbooks.Abbott founded the photography program at The New School for Social Research (where she taught for over twenty years), was a prolific writer, and held four US patents for photographic and other devices.  http://www.mocp.org/detail.php?t=objects&type=browse&f=maker&s=Abbott%2C+Berenice&record=7#collection-search
Evan Baden
Baden completed a BFA at the College of Visual Arts, St. Paul, Minnesota, in 2007. Evan Baden’s portrait series The Illuminati (2006-2007) and  Technically Intimate (2009-2010) The Illuminati depicts solitary figures from the waist up, bathed in a soft light and surrounded by shadows in a manner that recalls Johannes Vermeer’s (Dutch, 1632-1675) paintings. However, using the glow radiates from the screens of electronic devices, such as iPods, cell phones, and computers, rather than streaming in from a nearby window. Baden continues his exploration of the relationship of technology and youth in his subsequent series Technically Intimate (2009-2010).

In 1979 he received a BS in Visual Communications and Photography from the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago.

Bill O'Donnell
Bill O'Donnell rooted in this idea of the home as a haven.His recent series Elevations comprises photographs of small model houses that the artist holds up in front of the camera in tranquil settings like a deserted beach or a forest. images attempts to reconcile house and landscape—to find a place where one fits the other. He challenges our perceptions of the real and the artificial. He also plays with our sense of scale through the positioning of the models and he guides our eyes within each photograph by using a shallow depth of field, which leaves only certain areas in focus
