2010 – Part 4 of 4 – Postcards – The Golden Hour
I was especially interested in this discussion because an old colleague of Scott and mine, Daniel Etter, recently completed an embed himself with a US Medevac unit and worked on his story Medevac, which we are also featuring in this post. I thought to ask him what his view was on the current hubbub, given his own personal knowledge of the process and decision making, and to learn more about his own project. He wrote back with some thoughtful ideas and insights and we have chosen to publish the entire piece.

Misha Erwitt: Street Smart « The Leica Camera
A native New Yorker, Misha Erwitt grew up around photography and some of the best photographers in the world and was incurably bitten by the photography bug. After a career that includes an 11-year stint as a staffer for the New York Daily News and a three-year association with Magnum shooting internationally, this brilliant L.A. based photographer now has a show at the Leica Gallery that he hopes to use as a springboard into the world of art photography. He modestly says he’s not an artist, but his engaging work proves otherwise. Here, in his own down-to-earth, unvarnished words, is his fascinating narrative.

PETER BESTE: "True Norwegian Black Metal" (2008)
Peter Beste’s ‘True Norwegian Black Metal’ (2008)

Rebuilding Lives in Former Soviet Lands: The Work of Bruce Haley – NYTimes.com
Rebuilding Lives in Former Soviet Lands
“Sunder” is a collection of photographs by Bruce Haley documenting the former Soviet republics. Mathew R. Warren describes its origins.
via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/04/rebuilding-lives-in-former-soviet-lands/
“Sunder” was released last week. Fifty-five black-and-white photographs depict a people and a landscape in flux. The haunting images, which were taken in various countries throughout the former Soviet Union, show abandoned industrial sites and decaying towns and villages. Children play in bombed-out structures; families toil in rural wastelands. A panoramic photo depicts a young man about to dive into the ocean from the top of a partially sunken warship. A piece of the broken hull pokes out of the water.

Photography is Personal | Luceo Images
While I’ve known it before to some degree, it has become increasingly clear to me that I am creating the family images I make to leave a record for my daughter. To know where we’re headed we have to know where we come from. Hopefully some day these photographs can serve as a foundation for her to better understand her roots and that no matter what happens in life, her mother and me love her more than she could ever know.
