Half Photos, Striving to be More
Jason Eskenazi’s orphaned, fascinating accidents provoke him to wonder if he should even bother looking through his camera’s viewfinder, and they will be shown at the Look3 photo festival in Charlottesville, Va.

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.

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.

Otto Shulze: The Wonder of The Streets
The street is truly at the core of my work. The wonder and the random encounters of the streets are at the heart of my fascination with photography – especially within the context of the human condition. This is where it started for me and where I still go to this day for inspiration. To me, there is nothing like going for a walk with music in my ears and a Leica in my hand.
