This one is my favorite. You got to see it in person. Also, check out the whole Angry Black Snake series.

I had a chance to see most of these new Limited Edition Portfolio Print Series 2009 from Aperture Foundation and I must tell you... there is a great selection at very affordable prices.

So it happens that the winner Michael Corridore has the print that, I happen to like the most. This type of image might be a bit hard to see on line but I must tell you seeing it in person...beautiful!

2008 Aperture Portfolio Prize Limited-Edition Print Series

Aperture Foundation is excited to announce a new addition to the limited-edition photographs program. To encourage the collection of work by emerging artists, Aperture will offer special limited-edition prints by the winner and runners-up of the Aperture Portfolio Prize. The Prize competition takes place every summer and is judged by Aperture’s editorial and curatorial staff. The purpose of the Prize is to identify trends in contemporary photography and specific artists whom we can help by bringing their work to a wider audience. In choosing the first-prize winner and runners-up, we are looking for work that is fresh and that hasn’t been widely seen in major publications or exhibition venues. Aperture is pleased to offer our collectors work by these talented artists. Proceeds from the sales of these prints will benefit both the artists and Aperture Foundation.
