    Social media posts, mapping tools and a being aware of small but important details can help researchers determine when an undated image was taken.

    Essentially, any aspect of a source image could be of use, provided that it has changed over time. Sometimes clues will be so obvious that it’s possible to immediately figure out the rough date of the source image from one detail alone.

    Remembering Bruce McCall, Satirist and Compleat Canadian

    For McCall, the business of getting it down right was a form of self-salvation.

    via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/05/15/remembering-bruce-mccall-satirist-and-compleat-canadian

    Not having Bruce here to shock and appall (and, secretly, to delight) with such praise is part of the grief of losing him. All we can do is continue to look at his utterly inimitable visions—at the lonely polar explorers sharing an abandoned Antarctic opera house with a pair of disconsolate penguins—and be grateful that he came south to astonish us

    Bruce McCall, the artist behind the cover for the May 15, 2023, issue, died on May 5th, at the age of eighty-seven. McCall, who insisted upon chewing his beloved Groucho Marx cigars long after a taste for tobacco stopped being even remotely acceptable, was a dear friend and a poet at heart

    Thomas Wågström’s Pictures of the Living and the Lifeless

    The mysterious photographs in the book “Case Closed” are more interested in the conditions under which human beings exist than in the lives they live.

    via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/thomas-wagstroms-pictures-of-the-living-and-the-lifeless

    One of Thomas Wågström’s pictures has been hanging on the wall above my desk for many years. The picture shows a black surface of water, the patterns and whorls in it, the ceaseless motion that here is fixed in a final pattern, like a sort of rug, in this case a rug woven out of light and shadow. But the picture holds more than that, for at its lower left edge one glimpses the face of an animal: the slit of an eye, a muzzle, a bit of fur. It appears to be a seal, and it is on its way up through the blackness, and in the very next instant, one might imagine, it will pierce through the water. But it hasn’t done so yet; the slit of the eye and the muzzle hover just below the surface and seem almost a part of it.

    A Coming of Age in New York City’s Underground

    Adam Zhu’s book “Nice Daze” depicts amorphous social configurations, fleeting experiments in style and thrill-seeking, and elevated forms of doing nothing.

    via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/a-coming-of-age-in-new-york-citys-underground

    Two varieties of nostalgia merge in Adam Zhu’s photo book “Nice Daze.” The imagery, shot between 2013 and 2020, beginning when the artist was just sixteen, forms something like a yearbook, though not one associated with any institution. An impressionistic chronicle of the recent past, it follows Zhu’s friends and his friends’ friends—a multigenerational group of skateboarders, graffiti writers, artists, musicians, and attendees of crowded parties—around New York’s East Village, Lower East Side, and Chinatown.

Each body of work speaks to a different aspect of the climate and ecological crisis: loss of place;

    via LENSCRATCH: http://lenscratch.com/2023/04/earth-week-becky-wilkes-ditched/

    “Ditched” explores the implications of our throwaway society through the examination of debris meticulously collected for one year during the drought of 2014 to 2015 from the shoreline of Eagle Mountain Lake, near Fort Worth, TX. Following in the footsteps of the archeologist, Augustus Rivers, who first insisted that all artifacts, not the just the beautiful or unique be collected and catalogued, I photographed every item found along one mile of newly exposed lakefront. These artifacts speak to me and I seek to understand their journeys and account for each of them.
