"Liquid City" featured in Black & White Magazine.
In Issue 177, (April 2026) Black and White published a feature article on Frank Rodick’s first series Liquid City. The feature includes an essay by George Slade. Image above: liquid city, no.93, 1998.
Mr. Slade opens by saying: Frank Rodick’s “Liquid City” project reflects human spaces coming unglued. Forms dissolve into one another and merge with their surroundings. The images can be a little trippy; you are forgiven if you see Janus, Medusa, or some skeletal forms appear out of the fogs.

PhotoBook Journal review
In PhotoBook Journal contributing editor and professor of photography at DePaul University Steve Harp reviews The Moons of Saturn book by Frank Rodick and Nancy Brokaw.
Like the moons of Saturn, as viewers of the disintegrating, impenetrable images Rodick presents us, we are endlessly drawn in to a place of seeing but not knowing, hovering on the surface of the impenetrable. Who are these people rescued from oblivion, preserved only to yet remain inaccessible in the photographic void? Rodick gives us a kind of aposiopesis, an inability (or unwillingness) to proceed further, leaving out what is most important and quite likely unknowable. At the center then we are confronted with what is not there, absent yet somehow still remaining. The mystery at the center of photography.
