Happy April Fool’s Day! Let me start off by saying a huge THANK YOU to the participating photographers from all over the globe, each who shared a little bit about themselves during this profound moment in history. There were hundreds and hundreds of submissions and as I uploaded each one, I thought about your life and world. And though I corresponded only briefly with each of you, I was comforted by the connection to the greater whole as I have been in quarantine for almost three weeks. There are seven parts to this post so keep going until you get to the end. Pour yourself a big glass of wine or a big mug of coffee and enjoy the collected experience of The 2020 Lenscratch Self-Quarantining Exhibition…and share widely! Be safe out there. See you on the other side. – Aline Smithson

I met Teri Darnell several years ago at an Atlanta Photography Group exhibition. Shortly after that we were both chosen to be a part of the “Edge to Edge” exhibition at MOCA GA and were both on a panel that discussed the exhibit. As I have gotten to know Teri, I find that she is humble about herself and her work. Teri served six years in the United States Air Force, notably in Berlin during the Cold War. In 2015, she retired after twenty-five years of service with a Fortune 50 company as a multi-media development manager to pursue her passion in photography. Currently, she serves on the Board of Directors for Atlanta Celebrates Photography in Atlanta, Georgia. I admire Teri’s work and her passion to photograph people and places that most people do not see. Her project Veterans in Crisis shows her compassion to help others.

Link: https://www.juxtapoz.com/news/photography/joji-hashiguchi-s-we-have-no-place-to-be/
Turning his lens on the global stage, Hashiguchi traveled through Liverpool, London, Nuremberg, West Berlin, and New York in a quest to further chronicle communities of disenfranchised youths abroad. In these five cities, Hashiguchi witnessed the complex cocktail of self-destructive discord lurking beneath the superficial excesses of city life. Revealing the entrenched drug addiction, racism, anti-immigrant sentiment, unemployment, and poverty that pervaded urban centers then as now, Hashiguchi’s photos challenge the viewer to reexamine what we have both become and lost.

I first saw Alejandro‘s La Creciente at Yossi Milo gallery when I traveled to New York sometime in 2011. The images were stunning; it felt like I was looking at still shots from a movie set. I later found out that he also worked as a cinematographer, and I was not surprised at all. He has an amazing ability to capture scenes in a very raw and dramatic style.

The Coronavirus Crisis Reveals New York at Its Best and Worst | The New Yorker
The Coronavirus Crisis Reveals New York at Its Best and Worst
In a time of containment, the city searches for a way forward.
via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/03/30/the-coronavirus-crisis-reveals-new-york-at-its-best-and-worst
The final weekend of semi-ordinary life in New York arrived on Friday the 13th. In the week that followed, New York became a ghost town in a ghost nation on a ghost planet. The gravity and scale of what is happening can overwhelm the details of daily life, in which human beings seek a plateau of normalcy in abnormal times, just as they always have in blitzes and battles. Nobody has any confidence at all about whether we are seeing the first phases of a new normal, the brief calm before a worse storm, or a wise reaction that may allow, not so horribly long from now, for a renewal of common life. Here are some notes on things seen by one walker in the city, and some voices heard among New Yorkers bearing witness, on and off the streets.

In these solitary outings, the human part is missing. The taste of the city is bitter without the life it breathes, yes, those who are just as capable of messing up and destroying.

Navel gazing can get a little old, so, in the coming weeks (months?), as we find ourselves counting the hours till lunchtime on the sofa, we look for…
Today we look to the view outside Hayahisa Tomiyasu’s window. For five years the photographer documented the scenes that unfolded around a ping-pong table outside of his apartment Leipzig, Germany. We see the table used as a sun bed, a laundry counter, a kid’s jungle gym, an exercise site, a family lunch spot, a refuge from busy streets, everything except for the game it was made for. Thanks to Tomiyasu’s sustained patience and curiosity we observe the idiosyncrasies of human behaviour and social habits, as seasons change, scenes mutate and people come and go.
