    Photographer’s Hustle: When Recklessness Meets Responsibility

    Aph0415 fc 008

    In early 2007, a 24-year-old Bryan Derballa arrived in New York City with little cash and big ideas. “I flew into La Guardia with two suitcases, a skateboard, and a backpack, and I took a bus and subway from the airport,” he recalls. “On the stairs I’d take one heavy bag, then go back and get the other one, doing these shuttles every 20 feet. Finally this 6-foot-2 Puerto Rican transgender gal came up and said, ‘Honey, you look like you need some help!’ She got me to my friends’ house where I was staying. It was a great welcome to New York.”

    The continuing human tragedy of Congo is not a statistic. It is a continuing human tragedy. It is fourteen hundred and fifty tragedies every day. It is countless more than that if you include the orphaned, the bereaved, the widowed, and all the ripples of truncated lives that spread from a single death. It is you and me and our children and our parent, if we had the bad luck to be born into the world this book portrays.

    Khalik Allah – Shoot Cameras, Not Guns: Harlem Streets

    9b0eb7e5124c00eaaaa17bdf89ef9ee3 large

    Photography is my inside joke with God. He alone knows that time doesn’t exist. I use photography as a tool to extend the now; not to preserve the past. The past cannot be preserved because it does not exist. So to me, photography is a testament to time’s vulnerability. Shoot cameras, not guns. And raise sons righteous. I follow the injunction to love God supremely and your neighbor as yourself. All of this is brought into my photography. Photography is a dissemination point for me to say that there is beauty in everyone. I only shoot at night…I want to remind people we’re in outer space…I photosynthesize under the street-lamps with the hood champs and the impoverished.

    Photographs of children, especially children playing, tend to be a little hokey and predictable. That’s a pitfall that Brian M. Cassidy and Melanie Shatzky try to avoid in their series “The Children,” which makes summertime play look half magical/half nightmarish.

    How do you illustrate the connection between people and nature? “This is hard,” said Rony Zakaria, who has spent most of the past seven years trying to do just that. “I need to have time just to feel the place. I start to photograph when I feel it’s right.”

    At the twilight of the Soviet Era, from 1986-1990, David Hlynsky, a photographer from the American Midwest, made some 8000 color exposures with his Hasselblad of shop windows and storefronts throughout the Eastern Bloc capitals. A selection of those are being published for the first time in his new book Window-Shopping Through the Iron Curtain (out this month from Thames & Hudson), some 25 years later amidst revived Russian aggression in Europe, and renewed interest in the East-West divide.

    At first, I wanted to capture desolated life—and the ways in which people reflect their environments. My journey took me to the city of Tbilisi, in Georgia. There, I found traces of the USSR in the city’s architecture and in the marks that these spaces have left on their current inhabitants.

    In Sierra Leone, my home for the past two years, Ebola has taken over every part of life. People talk of little else. And with case numbers still rising, it looks set to continue that way for some time to come. These pictures, from Sierra Leone and Liberia, span the duration of the outbreak and aim to give a sense of the tragedy that is unfolding.
