    The Little Paper with an Outsized Visual Impact

    The Little Paper with an Outsized Visual Impact

    Over fourteen issues between 1968 and 1971, the downtown broadsheet “Newspaper” recruited a stunning list of contributors to chronicle the times in pictures.

    via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/the-little-paper-with-an-outsized-visual-impact

    Newspaper, published out of an East Village apartment between 1968 and 1971, was one of a number of scrappy print publications circulating downtown in those years. Most of them were more radical, less serious, or far sexier alternatives to the established Village Voice. Unlike Rat, the East Village Other, or Screw, though, Newspaper’s news involved no words, only pictures. Other than an all-caps logo, the only type was tiny and used for the occasional caption or credit; an early issue included the easily overlooked information that five dollars, addressed to Steve Lawrence at 188 Second Avenue, would get you five bi-monthly issues.

    The Hand in Nature: Margaret LeJeune – LENSCRATCH

    The Hand in Nature: a week of photographs that manipulates how we see and foresee our environment. Photographs help us process what is happening in the world, and this week we’ll be following photographers whose work inspects humans’ impact on the earth. More importantly, the posts will focus on how each photographer uses their hand in

    via LENSCRATCH: http://lenscratch.com/2023/04/margaret-lejeune-thirteen-hours-to-fall/

    Climate grief, curiosity, and environmental interactions are all strong drivers for LeJeune’s work. Her work at times reflects the ephemeral characteristics of nature and shows us what usually goes unseen.      reprocesses the ecological makeup that usually is not seen. Instead of being only surface-deep, LeJeune creates with an essential introspection of how to look inquisitively with the future in mind.

    “I’m certainly aware of the stereotypes, clichés, and exploitation this area has been exposed to by many entities,” the photographer Rich-Joseph Facun once told us. “I want to be clear: I’m not here to define what Appalachia is or isn’t.” In this collection, we take a look back at some of the most powerful photography from Appalachia, created by five visual storytellers, each with a different perspective.

    Stable Diffusion can do this because it was trained on hundreds of millions of example images harvested from across the web. Some of these images were in the public domain or had been published under permissive licenses such as Creative Commons. Many others were not—and the world’s artists and photographers aren’t happy about it.

    Jim Hill: Small Places – LENSCRATCH

    There is something about night photography that makes unremarkable spaces a bit more remarkable.  The inky skies have greater depth and the sense of emptiness create an emotional tableaux. The dreary streets that have seen better days, the grayness that sets into places that once had a heartbeat become mysterious stage sets for actors who

    via LENSCRATCH: http://lenscratch.com/2023/04/jim-hill/

    Small Places was purposely shot at night. The darkness of the rural midwestern sky provides a backdrop which accentuates the isolation of small towns. At night, the lite up grain storage structures tower over the surrounding towns, providing a visual metaphor for the abundance of the region. The heart of the community in many small places is the local bar. In the evenings, the local taverns are often the only thing open, their lights serve as beacons in the darkness. The lights of a small town against a dark sky highlights the isolation of rural places while the darkness and shadows transform the mundane into the beautiful.

    Street photographer Simon King offers thoughts on the concept of “exploitation” in the world of photography.

    via PetaPixel: https://petapixel.com/2023/04/02/on-exploitation-in-photography/

    The problem of exploitation in photography is a topic I see trending particularly toward dogmatic and cyclical patterns. Exploitation in photography is broadly the photographers’ “unfair” use of depictions they include in their photographs (people, places, events, etc) for their selfish benefit or at least a benefit that does not reach their subjects.

    As a newsroom lawyer, I hope journalists resist the urge to pay for a blue check and leave the platform for good. It doesn’t benefit their careers, doesn’t drive traffic to their employers’ websites and opens them up not only to defamation litigation and charges of bias, but also to threats and risk of bodily harm.
