As March's art fairs fade from memory, fans of contemporary photography have carved out an event all to themselves. For five days in DUMBO, the New York Photography Festival rolls out a lineup of exhibitions, lectures, and events peering into "The Future of Contemporary Photography." Spread across more than a dozen locations, the schedule includes a slew of projects, curated by industry notables such as British snapper Martin Parr and former Vice photo editor Tim Barber. At a time when more pictures are taken with telephones than cameras, it's fitting that the photo industry holds its own state of the union.
