Nowhere to Go Amid Alaska’s Melting Ice

Alaska’s Chukchi Sea was only just starting to freeze when Nima Taradji arrived at the Inupiat village of Shishmaref last December. Situated on a narrow barrier island, Shishmaref was founded over 400 years ago as a seasonal fishing settlement. Cold weather and natural ice barriers used to protect the shore, but now the municipal village, home to some 600 residents, faces the immediate threat of inundation.

His photographic work has often explored the connections between landscape and history and psychology, and in the past three years he’s returned to his early connection to the American rail system. For the series “In Search of Great Men,” Evans has taken a series of two-week trips on Amtrak, travelling all over the country to capture the lives of his fellow-passengers during their long-haul sojourns across the continent.

Rediscovering Southern Roots – The New York Times

Rediscovering Southern Roots

Amanda Greene’s images of Southern life were inspired by her return home after 17 years in Los Angeles, where what passed for “authentic” was often nowhere near what she knew.

via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/04/07/rediscovering-southern-roots/?&_r=0&module=Slide&region=SlideShowTopBar&version=SlideCard-7&action=Escape&contentCollection=Blogs&slideshowTitle=Rediscovering%20Southern%20Roots&currentSlide=7&entrySlide=1&pgtype=i

Amanda Greene lives with her husband and dog in Danielsville, Ga., a town of roughly 600 people between Atlanta and Greenville, S.C. The moments that make up her personal work — inspired by quiet, often offbeat, yet distinctly Southern moments — are often a short drive away in her Volkswagen, co-piloted by her dog, riding shotgun. The oft-tricky problem of access is usually easily solved with a simple gesture toward her car’s license plate.

Famous in Chicago? What a Concept – The New York Times

Famous in Chicago? What a Concept

Living in the Second City may have prevented Kenneth Josephson from becoming famous, but the conceptual photographer has a new book and exhibit that underscore his place as a pioneer.

via Lens Blog: https://archive.nytimes.com/lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/04/20/light-of-coincidence-kenneth-josephson/

Consider Kenneth Josephson: He was a pioneer in conceptual photography and is well-regarded in the history of medium. Yet at 83 years of age, he isn’t widely known to the general public. Fortunately, he seems to be having a late-career moment, with the release of a massive monograph, “The Light of Coincidence: The Photographs of Kenneth Josephson,” from the University of Texas Press, and a solo exhibition at Gitterman Gallery in New York City, which runs until June 11.

Cohen’s work starts in the moment that most people would look away.

via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/mark-cohens-close-up-street-photography

Cohen pioneered an aggressive, if not invasive, approach to his craft, shortening the distance between photographer and subject until heads were lost to the frame’s edge and only collar bones and clipped limbs remained. “I have been pushed and shoved and screamed at, but nothing serious,” he has said. “I am always aware of the edge.”

Rawiya, a collective of female Arab photographers, is challenging and changing how women in the region are portrayed.

Tasneem Alsultan was browsing in a Dubai bookstore a few years ago when she found “She Who Tells a Story,” a collection of photo essays by members of Rawiya, a collective of Arab women. Ms. Alsultan then had a thriving wedding photography business in Saudi Arabia and the gulf states, but she had no idea what possibilities awaited beyond that. As she paged through the volume, however, Ms. Alsultan saw clearly a new path — to tell dignified stories of Arab women.
