    I’ve seen a lot during my two years in Vietnam.  I know what poor is and I know what discomfort is.  There really isn’t a lot that catches me off guard any more.  Maybe it’s that I am jaded or just accepting that some times life is shit and people suffer … period.  But today got to me.  Some thing so small and seemingly meaningless piled up against hunger, death and suffrage.  A fan.

    From the day he died until his burial on April 18th, Poland was enraptured with mourning ceremonies. In the end the Kaczynskis were entombed at Wawel Castle, where kings and national heroes have been traditionally buried. No other modern figure lies in its catacombs. This decision went largely uncontested aside from a few protests.

    Strangely, as I went around to different memorials I noticed very few tears or obvious grief. The atmosphere was respectful, but from my experience Polish culture seems reserved in daily life relative to other cultures. Without  prior knowledge, a tourist may have thought he was approaching a cultural festival in the center of Krakow.

    In Jane Hilton’s intimate portraits, these 21st century cowboys are removed from these competing narratives, and from their beloved outdoors, and we encounter them in that most surprising location: the bedroom. Ever since she was first invited to supper by Johnny Green, a veteran cowboy who sold horses to John Wayne (every cowboy worth his spurs has a John Wayne story), Hilton was captivated by the interior life of men who spend their life outside. Her eye was drawn to the stuffed elk heads, the belt buckle collections, the stirrups strung above the bed that brought the spirit of the land into their domestic space.

    Millions of flies cover the ground.  As I walk they fly up and back down again like an ocean wave.  Every other second they land on me.  I constantly swipe them away until I just give in to the feeling of an insect crawling on my skin.  I look at the people in the dump and I count how many seconds they last until they swat the flies away.  Most do not even care.

  • New Photo Essays from Peter Turnley

    Link:

    I have just updated my website with 12 new photo essays, made in recent times. I am passionate about visual story telling in photo essay form, and about the process of creating a visual narrative that can ask as many questions as affirm answers. I am also passionate about trying to make 2 and 2 make 5 rather than 3 through the process of linking and juxtaposing imagery, and interested in opening discussion and dialogue and imparting a sense of perception of how certain dynamics feel, rather than attempt description or explanation. My Photo Essay webpage now offers the viewer 27 different photo essays or portfolios that can be seen here:

    That ducky has been present at many historical moments. It was with me when I witnessed women voting for the first time in Afghanistan. It was once a few feet away from President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan at his palace in Kabul. It was with me when I crazily walked into northern Iraq from Turkey — at night, in monsoonlike rain — just before the bombing started. The ducky visited Saddam Hussein’s palace in Tikrit before the Marines arrived.
