Trisomy 18, the doctor said, is “incompatible with life.” The baby would likely die before birth. If she did live, odds were a coin toss that she would die in the first weeks and less than 1 in 10 she would live a year. She would not cry or smile, the doctor told them. She would never walk or talk.

Arrivals and Departures with Jacob Aue Sobol: Episode 3 – The Train
Even though I am a photographer, I try to avoid being a voyeur. It has always been my ambition not only to look, but also take part in life, which can be quite frustrating, especially if you have a tight deadline. If I meet someone playing soccer in the street, I immediately feel like playing with them instead of just watching. I never found it interesting to look at someone from the other side of the street, or to be “invisible” as a photographer. I hope this is the reason why people never feel like a voyeur looking at my images– because you feel that you are taking part.

After developing their film, most photographers snip off and throw away the double-zero frame, at the beginning of the roll, that is usually half-exposed.
Jason Eskenazi is not like most photographers (anyone who knows him will tell you that), and he’s been saving those frames for many years.

Interview with Cig Harvey: YOU Look At ME Like An EMERGENCY
Interview with Cig Harvey: YOU Look At ME Like An EMERGENCY – LENSCRATCH
Sometimes you come across work you fall in love with, work that resonates with you in such a deep way, and you begin seeing the world through the lens and point of view of a great image maker. I have been a fan of Cig Harvey’s photographs from the moment I encountered her way of
via LENSCRATCH: http://lenscratch.com/2012/06/interview-with-cig-harvey-you-look-at/
Cig is a visual painter, creating images that shimmer with color and gesture, that have the punctuation and staccto of red berries, purple finger nails, or a diving bell. She speaks to memory, to moments, to quiet and beauty, and never loses her connection to the natural world. Her work is a sensory experience, where you feel what she feels when she captured the dapple of summer sunlight on skin or the splash of water that is a color only our memories seem to hold

South Africa: Jillian Edelstein, Truth & Lies
The photographer took a series of portraits just after the end of apartheid, when South Africans were being asked to forgive. The result of four years of work, Truth & Lies bears witness to this reconciliation and questions the idea of South African identity. It documents the Commission of Truth and Reconciliation, which aimed to take account of the human rights violations committed during apartheid, in the hope of reconciling the South African people. In exchange for public confessions, the perpetrators of the crimes were pardoned.
