― Anton Chekhov

What better way to greet the New Year and add zest to the winter than to broaden your horizons, ask some new questions? Discover stirring photographs of the Mississippi Delta, birthplace of the American Blues, in two head-to-head solo shows by Brandon Thibodeaux (Featured Image) and Magdalena Sole (above). Indulge in a nostalgic look at “expired” library books with photographs by Kerry Mansfield (below) and the resurgence of independent booksellers with Bryan David Griffith’s “The Last Bookstores” (below). Peruse the winners of “Photobook 2014” for inspiration or the pure joy of it. All at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA through March 1st, 2015.
