Soviet bus stops captured by worldly photographer Christopher Herwig
Soviet bus stops captured by worldly photographer Christopher Herwig
World press photographer and enthusiast of the curiously mundane Christopher Herwig struck gold when he came across the bus stops in parts of the world previously designated as part of the Soviet Union. That term conjures images of terrifying car park-like blocks and grey, intimidating statues of fists – constructions that don’t really bear any resemblance to these very odd little bus stops.

I arrive in Ulaanbaatar after four days on the train. It’s a relief to get off and be amongst people again. The Mongolians. I feel it right away. These people are proud and strong, but they’re also caught in a strange connection between the present and the past.

The move to Staten Island came a few years after studying for her Master’s at Yale in 1974. During that time, she recalls the all-male faculty in the photo department was initially dismissive of her photographs of people and often saw them as funny. “Once I got to Yale I began to recognize where I was from,” Osinski says. “There was a contrast between me and my working class roots compared to the backgrounds of the other students.”

Maggie Steber’s 25-Year Quest to Photograph Haiti’s Beauty
Quietly Finding Haiti’s Audacious Beauty
During scores of trips to Haiti, Maggie Steber decided she had to find the country’s quiet moments. A new Web site showcases her 25-year search for beauty there.
via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/25/quietly-finding-haitis-audacious-beauty/?pagewanted=all
To much of the outside world, the image of Haiti — when it pops up at all — is one of catastrophes, both natural and man-made. Violence, grinding poverty, flood, earthquakes all leave a lingering image of a benighted nation bereft of tender moments.
Maggie Steber thinks that’s nonsense — and she has the pictures to prove it.

We are a country of entrepreneurs, self-starters, and determined individuals that make up the core of our American dream. Long before the Fortune 500’s, there were mom and pop day-to-day desires to carve out a living, and a life on one’s own terms. Carl Corey takes a look at those self-starters who have created family businesses in Wisconsin and have managed to stay afloat for 50 years or more.

Revolution Revisited
Revolution Revisited is a project by 1987 Pulitzer Prize winner photographer Kim Komenich, now a professor at San Jose State University. In 2011, Komenich began relocating the subjects from his spot news winning essay from the People’s Power Revolution which overthrew Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and put Corazon Aquino in power.
The website features then and now image pairs, a longer essay about the revolution, interviews with the photographer, video stories and a database of over 500 outtakes from his coverage, which Komenich hopes will help to relocate more subjects from his coverage in the mid-1980s.
The site was produced by a class of multimedia graduate students in the University of Miami’s School of Communication.

Arthur Tress: San Francisco 1964
Link: La Lettre de la Photographie
In the summer of 1964, San Francisco was ground zero for a historic culture clash as the site of both the 28th Republican National Convention (the “Goldwater Convention”) and the launch of the Beatles’ first North American tour. The young photographer Arthur Tress arrived at this opportune moment in the city’s history and found himself in the midst of large-scale civil rights demonstrations and chaotic political pageantry. With a unique sensibility perfectly attuned to this quirky metropolis, he set about to capture the odd spectacle of San Francisco.

Although he is accompanied by a guide wherever he goes and has to request in advance where he wants to go, the daily life photographs that he has taken—often one-off shots made on the way to or from an event—provide a stark contrast to the highly orchestrated government news-agency photos that are more commonly seen out of North Korea.

1st Prize Multimedia 2012: AFRIKANER BLOOD, inside a racist bootcamp
LensCulture – Contemporary Photography
Discover and share the best in contemporary photography
via LensCulture: http://www.lensculture.com/webloglc/mt_files/archives/2012/04/afrikaner-blood-multimedia.html
White South African teens wrestle with an uncertain identity. An extreme right-wing group is teaching young Afrikaners to eschew Nelson Mandela’s vision of a multicultural rainbow nation. The fringe group Kommandokorps organizes camps during school holidays where Afrikaner teenagers learn self-defense and how to combat a perceived black enemy. The group’s leader, self-proclaimed ‘Colonel’ Franz Jooste, served with the South African Defence Force under the old apartheid regime. The teenagers are taught (brainwashed might be a more accurate term) that they are their own people — not South Africans but Afrikaners — and that they shouldn’t integrate in the new democratic South Africa.
This disturbing multimedia production about the racist, right-wing organization was awarded 1st Prize in Multimedia by World Press Photo. The story was made by Dutch journalist/videographer Elles van Gelder & Dutch photojournalist Ilvy Njiokiktjien in conjunction with their production company froginatent.com.

Syd Greenberg’s Photos From China in the 1940s
Half a World Away, a Familiar Name
Though most of Syd Greenberg’s neighbors knew him as the town photographer, his military service endeared him to many people he never met — half a world away, in China.

A lot of people know about Syd Greenberg in China. Mind you, he hadn’t been back there since the mid-1940s, when he was an Army Signal Corps photographer assigned to the China-Burma-India theater of operations, documenting how American and Chinese Nationalist troops fought the Japanese.
