World-Class Photojournalism, at Home in the South Bronx – The New York Times

World-Class Photojournalism, at Home in the South Bronx

When the Bronx Documentary Center opened five years ago, Manhattan-centric curators scoffed. Not anymore. From Eugene Richards to emerging talents, the B.D.C. has created a diverse and dedicated community of photographers.

When Eugene Richards opens his next exhibit, it will not be at a Chelsea gallery or a major Midtown museum. It will be at a location that he much prefers: the Bronx Documentary Center.

Winning the White House – From press prints to selfies – The Eye of Photography

Link:

“While professional press photographers continue to cover every campaign stop for major media outlets like their predecessors, they are now joined by thousands of amateur photographers,” adds Susan Carlson, Assistant Curator of ICP and van Dijk’s co-curator for Winning the White House. “With the rise of smart-phone technology and the rapid rate at which images are released on social media, the 2016 campaigns are seeing an even greater demand for visual content. This provides us with a timely opportunity to explore photography’s significant role in elections. We look forward to continuing the dialogue with the Mana Contemporary incarnation of the show.”

For hundreds of years, on the eighth month of the lunar calendar, people have gathered along the shores of China’s Qiantang River at the head of Hangzhou Bay to witness the waves of its famous bore tide. Higher-than-normal high tides push into the harbor, funneling into the river, causing a broad wave that can reach up to 30 feet high. If the waves surge over the banks, spectators can be swept up, pushed along walkways or down embankments. Below, I’ve gathered images from the past few years of the Qiantang bore tides.
