To kick off the annual Society for Photographic Education conference, the Amon Carter Museum in Ft. Worth hosted a talk by Chicago-based photographer Barbara Crane on March 25. The lecture and reception accompanied Challenging Vision, a retrospective of Crane’s work now on view at the museum through May 10, 2009 . Click here to see a video podcast with the artist.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by Aperture’s booth at the conference in Dallas, TX, last week.

Barbara Crane graciously stopped by the booth to sign copies of her new book, Private Views, on March 27.

Everyone loved Barbara’s manicure!
