My project The Brothers is featured in the recent issue of Finite Foto. Finite Foto is a new media collective that investigates and promotes the intersection of photography and culture in the state of New Mexico. They are dedicated to bringing awareness to the global art community about both historical and contemporary photography from all regions of the state.

Excerpt from curator Melanie McWhorter:
"Finite Foto is pleased to launch the newly designed site with our sixteenth issue on the theme of Faith. This theme was prompted in large part by Christopher Churchill’s project American Faith which I have been aware of for some time since our meeting at Photolucida in March 2011 and then again in the fall of 2011 at Lishui Photography Festival in China. Churchill’s idea that the definition of faith could have deep meaning beyond its relationship to religion was previously a foreign concept for me and subsequently prompted the shaping of our current issue of Finite. It is only deservedly so that his work be included in this issue as a book review of his recently published Nazraeli title, American Faith, reviewed here by Antone Dolezal.
For our portfolio features we highlight five photographers: Two former Review Santa Fe participants, Natan Dvir and Mark Peterman; New Mexico-based photographers Caitlyn Soldan and Patti Levey; and project and mixed media artist Leigh Davis. We include two poems by Lara Shipley and we round out the issue with two interviews: Antone Dolezal engages with Czech born and London based photographer Tereza Zelenkova on her work in the American Southwest and its relationship to the occult and Melanie McWhorter questions Terri Warpinski on her project showing nations divided by physical borders and her photographic and personal response to these divisions."
