Growth – wilma hurskainen
Growth is a project in which I reconstructed and re-photographed pictures that my dad took of me and my three little sisters when we were children. I tried to make the new photograph look as similar as possible to the old one: the place and the composition are the same, and so are our positions and facial expressions.

The Boy from Troy by Brenda Ann Kenneally
There was an uneasy identification between the two of us that grew into friendship over the next eight years while I continued to document Kayla, Sabrina and their friends who lived as a family on the same block. A family, I discovered, that was formed largely in response to increasingly punitive legal, moral and economic shifts within their working class community. I watched, as school either became the interface between the justice system and a disengaged teenager or a lifeline thrown from an involved teacher. At year six, I began to agonize about the utility of this monster story and when Donny began school, it became evident that he was the story. Donny is the proverbial child that this neighborhood raised

Indian Cinemas (10 Photos)
In the Spring of 2010 and 2011, photographer Katherine Newbegin traveled alone to India where she began a series on cinemas. Most were still currently in use at the time Newbegin photographed them. But in the larger, more developed cities, she says these aging cinemas were harder to find because they are disappearing rapidly in favor of the new mega-plexes, which do not have to pay taxes for 3 years.

Yumiko Utsu’s Disturbingly Kitsch Food Photography
Grotesque yet utterly intriguing, Japanese photographer Yumiko Utsu’s work enthralls the viewer with playful constructions of fruit, dismembered sea creatures, vegetables and insects set against colorful tapestries. Her bizarre and humourous photo-art, revolving around food and animals, falls into the narrow genre of disturbing kitsch that could only come out of Japan.

Photographs of a Middle Class Utopia
This series, Middle Class Utopia, focuses in Austrian allotment gardens in and around Vienna, called ‘Schrebergärten’. These tiny gardens were invented in the late 19th century, mainly to provide space for the working class people to grow their own vegetables and fruits. Over the time, the use of these gardens changed and now they are mainly used for recreational purposes.

Peter DiCampo’s iPhone Photos of Africa
Picturing Everyday Life in Africa
Too often the subjects of images of Africa seem to be reduced to symbols — viewers do not encounter them as fully rounded human beings, rarely seeing journalistic images of the middle class, artists or the cultural heritage of African countries. Peter DiC

I realized that I had to keep doing it, because there’s a constant barrage of imagery of misery, despair and hopelessness, and more than any of those things — helplessness, the idea that Africans need to be saved

“The Human Condition,” an Exhibit by Peter Turnley in Paris
Four Decades of Photographing the Human Condition
In an exhibition in Paris, four decades of Peter Turnley’s photographs are on display from around the world, encompassing major conflicts and quiet, quotidian moments.

As important as these images are to him, Mr. Turnley said, so too are the photographs he has taken of the more mundane moments in people’s daily lives. A great admirer of photographers like Robert Capa and Edward Boubat, Mr. Turley said he considered himself neither a war correspondent, like the former, nor a “peace correspondent,” as the latter was called. “One might say I am a correspondent of life,” Mr. Turnley said.

Daniel Milnor: Photographing On His Own Terms
When I look at the best documentary photographers in the world they are very selective about the information they put out. I don’t see Sebastiao Salgado on social media seven days a week. I don’t hear from Salgado every eight minutes. I know when I see something from him it has been well-planned, well thought out and is something I should pay attention to. We live in a world where people value photographers based on how many Twitter followers they have and that just isn’t smart. I love to blog. I’m not a proponent of the “you must post everyday” belief. I try to adhere to what I preach. Say something when I have something to say

Photaumnales 2012 : Guillaume Herbaut
“Before me a snow-covered bridge, the bluish evening light and wolf tracks, I have spent the past two days in the forbidden zone of Chernobyl. I didn’t want to come back here. I had spent too much time here between 2009 and 2011. Four months losing myself in this forbidden place that has fascinated me since my first trip here in 2001. I am drawn toward it and repulsed at the same time..
