“Nueva Luz is a photographic journal that addresses itself to the search for statements by photographers who have developed a reflective stance vis-a-vis their culture. The Journal will showcase a process in which we witness a dedication to define a unique aesthetic. The photographers featured herein have committed themselves to the real work involved in making imagery. This is an opportunity for them to express a point of view.”
