This article is about a show called "New Photography 2007" at the MoMa where contemporary photographers are expressing their interests in the ideas and methods of photographers such as Eadweard Muybridge, Alfred Stieglitz, and Clarence White. The article describes the "new photography" as recycling, and somewhat of a let down. These emerging photographers are expected to show something new and fresh, and the closest they see to new is from the work of Tanyth Berkeley, whos images which involve a lot of "social engineering." Among other photographers mentioned were Scott McFarland who worked with Jeff Wall, coincidentally his work follows his same methods.
