“They call Alzheimer’s ‘the long goodbye’ and it’s true — it’s a painfully gradual loss”
https://www.ajstetson.com/maskednyc
On March 10, COVID-19 knocked me out. After weeks of labored breathing and a wide range of seemingly unrelated symptoms, I recovered, yearning to create portraits. The experience of photographing housemates, friends, and over 500 hundred New Yorkers, with each subject’s, or parent’s, permission, in a public place and using a telephoto lens to remain socially distanced, often at Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ+ rallies, has been deeply moving, and led to this project, Masked NYC:
Through layers of mind-bending work, Brazilian artist Paulo Coqueiro weaves a photo-based approach to writing — revealing mysteries and mistruths surrounding the disappearance of photojournalist Tito Ferraz
via LensCulture: https://www.lensculture.com/articles/paulo-coqueiro-don-t-lie-to-me
“Remember, I am lying to you.” Politically-entrenched photojournalist Tito Ferraz went missing from his home in December, 2016. Over the course of several months, the outspoken photographer communicated across his network of 5000 Facebook friends, dropping breadcrumbs which would ultimately end in his sudden and dramatic disappearance. A threatening letter arrives. His apartment is broken into. Hard drives are destroyed. Evidence is collected. Everything gets documented through forensic-style photographs. Flyers go up through his community in Bahia, Brazil demanding answers and justice. What happened to Tito Ferraz?

Matt Stuart’s Into the Fire documents the daily lives of people who live in Slab City, an off-grid community based on a former military base in the Sonoran desert, just north of the Mexican border. It is home to travellers, dog lovers, thieves, military veterans, artists and inventors. Its population numbers thousands throughout the winter, in the summer, when temperatures can exceed 120°F (49°C) it dwindles into the low hundreds. True ‘Slabbers’ are the people who have managed to survive two summers. These are the people Matt befriended and photographed.

In the 1980s when Virgil DiBiase was in medical school studying neurology, there were 500,000 people with dementia in this country. In just four decades, that number has skyrocketed to nearly 6 million people, with projections of 300% growth by mid-century. If we make it to old age, an estimated one in three people will fall victim to the disease.
In “Regard,” a series of black-and-white portraits of herself and her daughter, Lulu, Anna Grevenitis casts viewers as the passersby who stare at her child, a teen-ager with Down syndrome.
via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/a-mothers-steely-portraits-of-her-daughters-life-with-down-syndrome
Anna Grevenitis, a forty-six-year-old French photographer who lives in Brooklyn, is the mother of two teen-agers: Andoni, a lean, restless fifteen-year-old who just started shaving, and Luigia, eleven months his elder, who has thick-rimmed glasses and shoulder-length blond hair, the tips of which she dyes every several months, to match the latest shades of stars like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish. Luigia, who goes by Lulu, is her mother’s usual muse. For most of the past decade, Grevenitis has photographed her daughter daily, with such studied devotion that Andoni, in his childhood, became envious and begged Grevenitis to shoot him, too. Her son outgrew the routine—“He doesn’t want to see me with my camera next to him in the street,” Grevenitis told me recently—but Lulu, who loves to dress up, still relishes the attention of the lens.

The architecture of the Soviet Union has always been some of the most ambitious of the 20th Century, where so many gaudy and grand details were considered. It even extended to the bus stops. Christopher Herwig has been documenting Soviet era bus stops for years, culminating in two volumes and hundreds of photos of incredibly unique structures in the most rural and urban places.
Theo has lived without a home since he was born. For him, his mother and those trying to help them, the major concern is how anyone can find a way to get this one homeless boy off the streets.

Theo pops his head through the door of his tent and scrunches his nose against a cold breeze. A mop of coarse black hair sticks up as the 7-year-old rubs his eyes and puts on his glasses.

How can we picture the somewhat invisible relationship we have with our surroundings? Charting daily life in the depths of rural Iceland, Myth of a Woman captures the often ungraspable feeling of living with nature. Agnieszka Sosnowska’s quiet and reflective photographs depict this isolated existence with elegance and tenderness.

Andy Sweet’s 1977 photographs from Camp Mountain Lake, in North Carolina, beautifully capture the cheerful triumphs and the gutting alienation that one can experience at camp.

This cluster of knotty feelings resurfaced almost immediately when I began looking at Andy Sweet’s photographs from Camp Mountain Lake, in North Carolina. He took the photos in 1977, only five years before his tragic murder, at the age of twenty-eight. (In an essay published in the Oxford American, in 2016, the novelist Lauren Groff discusses the murky circumstances surrounding his death.) Sweet was based in Miami, where he made a gorgeously vibrant series on Jewish retirees, a body of work that has been rediscovered only recently (and was collected in the book “Shtetl in the Sun”). He documented those subjects—mostly Eastern European immigrants who first settled in the Northeast, before making their way south, to Florida—as they lived out their twilight years in Miami Beach. Camp Mountain Lake, too, was predominantly populated by Miami-based Jews—Sweet spent his own summers there, first as a camper, then as a counsellor, and, finally, as a photography instructor. Like his elderly subjects, Sweet’s camp kids were thrown into an unfamiliar environment that they had to puzzle out and master. In both photographic series, the sense of the intense realities of life in an isolated group—its cheerful triumphs, its particular internal politics, and the gutting alienation one can experience within it—are beautifully captured.

A nice touch of nostalgia this morning, as we came across Bill Eppridge’s skateboarding photos he took in New York City during the 1960s. Some of the photos here almost suggest that Bill handed boards to unsuspecting visitors to Central Park, but others, like this skinny suit hipster, seem to have a good skill.

There is a dreamlike quality to Julie Blackmon’s imagery. Children live, play, grow bored, make up stories, act them out and play some more, as if unaware of the camera, while the artist devises a tableau of domestic entropy. Blackmon says,“I compare [my work] sometimes to fiction and literature; sometimes the greatest truth can come out of fiction.”
