Shimmer of Possibility was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in the spring of 2009 in a show organized by Susan Kismaric, Curator, Department of Photography. As the Museum's publicity material described, "Each simple but structurally inventive series includes varying numbers of pictures, from one to more than ten, and provides a vivid glimpse into unheralded moments in the lives of individuals Graham encountered on his travels." "I have been taking photographs for 30 years now," Graham said: "and it has steadily become less important to me that the photographs are about something in the most obvious way. I am interested in more elusive and nebulous subject matter. The photography I most respect pulls something out of the ether of nothingness… you can't sum up the results in a single line. In a way, 'a shimmer of possibility' is really about these nothing moments in life." As new. Item #366
