The National Audubon Society commissioned Jeanette May to create two still life photographs to accompany the article “Where Have All the Rare Bird Alerts Gone?” about bird watching and obsolete technology. Her photographs were published in the Winter 2021 magazine and can also be viewed online: https://www.audubon.org/magazine/winter-2021/where-have-all-rare-bird-alerts-gone. Prints of the two photographs are available for purchase from Jeanette May. See her Contact page on this website.

NY City subway installation remains on view!
Jeanette May’s “Tech Vanitas” photographs remain on display in the Bryant Park/42nd St/6th Ave subway station in New York City. As part of the MTA Arts & Design Lightbox Project, Tech Time Capsule, was installed in January 2020 and is still on view as of April 2021.
Large light boxes of this type are most often used for advertising imagery, which is ideal for the “Tech Vanitas” photographs; at first glance they strongly resemble slick product shots. These still lifes address the desire for beautifully designed gadgets and the anxiety around ever changing technology. This exhibit was generously sponsored by MTA Arts & Design, Griffin Editions, Kodak/alaris, Kodak Professional, and Klompching Gallery.
