    Bob Newman: Shadows of Emmett Till – LENSCRATCH

    Over 67 years ago on the summer of August 28, 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Louis Till was tragically lynched in Mississippi by two white men, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam after he was accused by Bryant’s wife, Carolyn Bryant, of allegedly making an advance at her. Bryant and Milam were tried and acquitted by an all-white-male

    There remains a variety of vital ongoing conversations revolving around the life and death of Emmett Louis Till. In Bob Newman’s recently released publication, Shadows of Emmett Till, published by Kehrer Verlag, he continues this discourse and actively confronts the complex past of America before Till’s unfathomable fate. The circumstances surrounding his death parallel the society we still exist in today where Black lives, such as Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, George Floyd, and a heartbreakingly long list of more Black Americans, are continuing to be unforgivably taken at the hands of racist white Americans.

    The Best New Yorker Photos of 2022

    Many of the magazine’s most memorable images this year made work of subverting the familiar.

    via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/2022-in-review/the-best-new-yorker-photos-of-2022

    James Nachtwey’s photograph from Bucha, Ukraine, is a wartime tableau cluttered with the stuff of life. Bottles and boxes sit atop of a worn floral tablecloth. A metal bowl perches precariously on a chair. The old painted door is flung open to the darkened next room. It takes a moment to notice the lifeless body of the woman who lived there, slumped beneath the table, still wrapped in a heavy coat.

    Photographers captured historic moments of war, grief and wonder that defined the year.

    Every year, starting in early fall, photo editors at The New York Times begin sifting through the year’s work in an effort to pick out the most startling, most moving, most memorable pictures. Recently, every year seems like a history-making year: a pandemic that killed millions; an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol; and, in 2022, a war with frightening echoes of the 20th century’s devastating world wars.

    What were the most talked about technologies of 2022? What happened in visual tech? And who were the biggest disappointments?

    via Kaptur: https://kaptur.co/2022-a-year-of-visual-tech-in-review/

    The year is coming to an end, and unlike the previous years, things are not quieting down. In fact, it’s increasing. 2022 is undoubtedly the year of Generative AI. And with it, not only a flurry of applications but many, many questions, if not anxieties. While other events might have happened in the visual space this past year, nothing will be as much remembered as the shockwave created by the successive public releases of DallE, Stable AI and Midjourney. It’s too bad because other technologies, like Neural Radiance Field ( NeRF), can certainly benefit from more exposure. If anything, 2022 has demonstrated that nothing is ever settled in the world of visual tech.

    Together, these photographs capture a narrative about a year in the arts, building a collection of evolving scenes and inner worlds. We asked some of the photographers to discuss the intentions behind these frames and the stories they saw within them. Now that the year is coming to a close, take one more look back at how we saw culture this year. — JOLIE RUBEN, senior photo editor

    When the photographer Hossein Fardinfard first visited the Soviet-era buildings of Tskaltubo, Georgia, he was struck by an overwhelming sense of stillness and silence. Though many of these spaces had been abandoned, there were, in fact, people living here–-all of them displaced by a war that changed everything more than 30 years ago. They opened their doors to him.

    If you can’t answer those questions honestly, you’re not ready to publish a book. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t make your own book. Go ahead and make a dummy; make a small private edition; play around with the form. But publishing a book is a slightly different step from making a book, practically speaking.

    via Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/interactive/2022/robin-givhan-american-flag-race-photography/

    In Andre Wagner’s single image of a Black child gripping a small, wrinkled American flag in one hand while the other rests pensively on her chin, Wagner tells the complicated story of America. That Star-Spangled Banner is crumpled, as if it has been rolled up in a pocket, tucked away, its usefulness uncertain but nonetheless protected. This child, with the decorative beads in her cornrows, is dwarfed by the adults who stand on either side, by the enormous backpack, by the meat counter in the background. Her expression is sober, as if she’s considering weighty matters. A child with the brooding demeanor of an adult. A complicated child. An American child. A Black American.
