Michael Garlington Transcends Gimmickry in Creating a Powerful "Photohouse"
 |

Here is the antithesis of that apparent gimmick: row upon row of faces and hands in jars that emphasize the interior's white background. Theatrical nakedness gives way to intense close-ups of strangers old or odd. Darkness recedes into bright light. It's stirring enough to inspire this critic to address the artist directly: Thank you, Michael Garlington.

Some of the people you shoot are menacing. Some are on the edge of death. But many are gazing at the camera -- at us, visitors to your "Photohouse" -- with a sense of purpose that is transfixing. Jonathan Curiel
