Photographer Graham Dickie’s poignant project, How Life Is, recently garnered the Spring 2021 Film Photo Visionary Project Award. With the support of the Film Photo Award, Graham will continue photographing rap and daily life in Louisiana, with particular attention to the countryside surrounding Baton Rouge. The resulting project will approach the state’s street rap scene with a grassroots, humanistic perspective, focusing on young aspiring artists – how their music, with its deeply autobiographical underpinnings, connects to their communities and speaks to America’s broader reckoning over racial injustice.

“Wrestling with issues of memory, place, and identity I see my life as a narrative and my photography as its expression. My art gives visual voice to my personal and collective memories. It is inside ordinary moments where I find windows into larger meaning. Light, perspective, and points in time are the pivotal elements I use to reveal an interior presence within my subjects as I search for what I identify as the Signature of the Spirit.”

In her remarkable photographic essay, Sisterhood of Recovery, Julia Rendleman introduces us to two sisters in a jail in central Virginia—both participants in a peer heroin addiction recovery program—and their mother on the outside, raising one of the sisters’ four children. Photographed over multiple occasions from 2017 to 2020, we get a glimpse of the toll of the opioid crisis, and how incarceration affects entire families and communities, not just the person behind bars.

I don’t take my two eyes for granted. Photography has helped me make sense of the world. It’s provided meaning, perspective, and much joy in my life. After close to fifty years it still does. When I think back, I can’t imagine who I would be today if I hadn’t found photography.

Conversations with Nature: Deborah Kaplan – LENSCRATCH
Conversations with Nature: Deborah Kaplan – LENSCRATCH
“(Today) we are talking only to ourselves. We are not talking to the rivers, we are not listening to the wind and stars. We have broken the great conversation. By breaking that conversation we have shattered the universe. All the disasters that are happen
When we deconstruct all the natural and human world, we discover a significant connectedness and vocabulary. Photographic artist Deborah Kaplan explores that important conversation as she dissects the natural world down to a language that is at once beautiful and remarkable. Today we feature a number of her series, starting with Syllabary for the Natural World, which is all language based. With this work she explores the complexity of the natural world that offer multiple languages waiting to be discovered and where our minds actively participate. As Kaplan states, “We are searchers for symbols”

This work took place in the states of Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, and São Paolo, from 2015 to 2018 in rural quilombos and urban favelas, in the welcoming homes, and places of work and of worship of Afro-Brazilians. They are still struggling against poverty, racism and violence and for the recognition of their rights, including the rights to the lands they have inhabited since their founding as rebel quilombos. From there, the African heritage has intertwined with Indigenous and Christian-European cultures, creating the richly multicultural XXI Century Brazil.

The Timeless Pleasures of Dawoud Bey’s Street Portraits
His pictures make me think about the times I’ve walked down the street feeling invisible, until I pass another Black person who holds my gaze long enough for us to exchange a nod.
via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/the-timeless-pleasures-of-dawoud-beys-street-portraits
few years ago, while on a road-trip assignment with the photographer Andre Wagner, I began to needle him with questions about street photography. I wanted to know about the emotional mechanics and structure of it: what a photographer’s eye picks up, what makes a stranger agree to a moment of intimacy with someone she may never see again. Andre told me that it primarily entailed getting people to trust you within a short window of time. But there was another secret, too. Andre loved photographing Black people. They were familiar to him, as he was to them. He could read their cues, and sense their excitement. And so many of the Black people he encountered were eager to have their photos taken, just one adjustment away from being camera-ready.
