In June 2012, Aperture will release a newly expanded and updated reissue of Lynne Cohen’s first monograph, Occupied Territory. “In the nearly twenty years of work contained in the book, Cohen turns her view camera toward classrooms, science laboratories, testing facilities, waiting rooms, and other interior spaces where function triumphs over aesthetics,” the publisher says. “In cool, functional offices, futuristic reception areas, lifeless party rooms, escapist motel rooms, and haunting killing chambers, Cohen surveys a society of surface, contradiction, and social engineering.” The 144-page hardback includes 102 duotone images and sells for $60/£40.

Nikon has issued an important announcement regarding the EN-EL15 battery used in the Nikon D7000, D800, D800E and Nikon 1 V1 cameras. “While Nikon takes great measures to assure high quality products, it has come to our attention that a certain number of EN-EL15 batteries manufactured by one of our suppliers did not meet Nikon’s internal quality standards,” the company said in a statement. “In extremely rare cases, this may cause the battery to overheat and the exterior casing to become deformed.” If you use one or more of these batteries, check the lot number (the alphanumeric character string located at the bottom of the name plate) - if the ninth character is an E or an F, then the battery needs to be replaced.
