"Ritz Interactive" Is New Name for E-Tailer
Network
The parent company responsible for the creation, marketing, and
management of such e-commerce sites as RitzCamera.com and
BoatersWorld.com, has changed its name. Now called Ritz Interactive
Inc., the Web network, formerly known as phobo.com, Inc., was
renamed to reflect the contribution of RitzCamera.com and the Ritz
group of companies to its success, company officials said.
"While the scope of phobo.com to date has encompassed far more than
photography, we believe the Ritz Interactive name better represents
our company's origins, as well as our strong commitment to serving
the customer," said Fred H. Lerner, president and CEO of Ritz
Interactive, Inc.
According to Lerner, Ritz Interactive, Inc. will continue to build
and expand the array of websites, products, and services currently
offered, while maintaining the traditions of Ritz Camera Centers.
There are currently nearly 100 Ritz Camera retail locations
nationwide.
In addition to its alliance with the Ritz group of companies, Ritz
Interactive, Inc. has a marketing partnership with America Online
that makes the network's various sites available across several AOL
brands and shopping channels. Ritz Interactive, Inc. also has
marketing relationships with Yahoo! and MSN.

Dee Dee's Disco, Shanghai from "East Wind, West Wind," 1997-2000 Van Manen at Museum of Contemporary Photography
The work of acclaimed contemporary photographer Bertien van Manen (The Netherlands, born 1942) is on view at The Museum of Contemporary Photography, Columbia College Chicago, through October 13, 2001. The exhibition features three bodies of work by Van Manen: "A Hundred Summers, A Hundred Winters," "East Wind, West Wind," and "Men." Inspired by the work of Robert Frank, Van Manen has made it her practice to inhabit the culture she is documenting and, when possible, live the lives of the people she photographs. Photos in "A Hundred Summers, A Hundred Winters" were made in the former Soviet Union over a four-year period beginning in 1990. "East Wind, West Wind" contains photos made since 1998 in China. "Men" is comprised of portraits of four men (father, husband, lover, and son) central to the artist's life. For more info, visit www.mocp.org.
