Wayne Levin: The States Project: Hawaii – LENSCRATCH

Wayne Levin and I met very briefly during a group exhibition where he was sharing a space to show his work with the South Kona Artist Collective at SKEA [ Society for Kona’s Education and Art ] on Big Island. I came to know Wayne’s work a little better over the following two years, having

For the past 12 years I’ve been compelled to photograph schooling fish, focusing on Akule (Big Eyed Scad–Selar crumenophthalmus). These images were taken at Kealakekua Bay and Keauhou Bay on the Kona Coast of the Island of Hawaii, and Waimea Bay on Oahu’s North Shore.

In the good company of film makers such as Michael Apted and photographers such as Nicholas Nixon, artists who revisit subjects over many decades, is the powerful work of Jeffrey A. Wolin.

“It’s endlessly fascinating to see what happens to us over time Speaking about our memories is a creative process that changes and morphs all the time. That isn’t to say they aren’t truthful. Sometimes your memory becomes clearer after some time as well.”

The genesis of the 2017 Photographic Conversations Exhibition came from my experience of being involved in daily conversations in a 3 year project, Six Shooters, and later as part of the collaborative project, A New Nothing. These visual connections with other photographers allow me to work outside my normal practice and use photographs that ordinarily might not see the light of day. And, to be honest, it’s stimulating, inspiring, and fun to work with another photographer.

A Photographer’s Search for Cracks in North Korea’s Propaganda Machine | The New Yorker

A Photographer’s Search for Cracks in North Korea’s Propaganda Machine

Max Pinckers was fascinated by the knowledge that the scenes he photographed in North Korea would be orchestrated by a foreign power.

via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/a-photographers-search-for-cracks-in-north-koreas-propaganda-machine

The photographer Max Pinckers likes his images to call into question the truthfulness of the subjects before him. In some of his photographs, the use of elaborate lighting and staging techniques can make it difficult to divine what is real and what isn’t. Recently, while preparing to travel to Pyongyang to take pictures for Evan Osnos’s New Yorker piece “The Risk of Nuclear War with North Korea,” Pinckers knew that he would be entering a controlled environment, closely shaped by state officials, and he was fascinated by the knowledge that the scenes he photographed would be orchestrated by a foreign power.

Vanessa Gilles, Dosta: Words and Memories of Gypsy Women – The Eye of Photography

Link:

Gypsy, Romany, Manouche… Traveling between Arles and Les Saintes Maries de la Mer, the photographer Vanessa Gilles came into contact with women of diverse origins. These women reveal themselves in her images and gaze at us with dignity. Fixed in black and white, the photographs seem to deliver a timeless message that extols pride and attachment to one’s roots. Children are playing in front of the camera seemingly carefree, while women eye it with a stare that says a lot about the years of discrimination which is still omnipresent.

States of America: Photography from the Civil Rights Movement to the Reagan Era – The Eye of Photography

Link:

States of America, on view at Nottingham Contemporary in London, is an unusual survey of American photography exhibited in England. The exhibition focuses on a generation of photographers that experimented with innovative approaches to documentary photography. Drawing from the collection of the Wilson Center for Photography, the exhibition includes key works by Diane Arbus, Louis Draper, William Eggleston and Bruce Davidson, as well as Stephen Shore, who in November will be the subject of a major retrospective at MoMA in New York. This exhibition stretches from the Civil Rights Movement to the Reagan Era, three decades that shaped the polarized landscape of Trump’s America, and explores tectonic shifts in American society and politics, from the decay of city centers and the decline of industry to suburban sprawl and the development of mass advertising.

Daily life in Manenberg, South Africa – The Washington Post

Perspective | Two sisters pursue different lives in post-apartheid Manenberg, South Africa

Nearly twenty-five years since the end of apartheid, Manenberg, South Africa, has not seen the fruits of democracy. Opportunities to change or improve circumstances remain few and far between. Photographer Sarah Stacke photographed two sisters each encountering their own struggles with life in the town.

via Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/in-sight/wp/2017/10/09/manenberg/

A suburb of Cape Town, South Africa, Manenberg was established in the Cape Flats, a vast low-lying sand dune, during the late 1960s by the apartheid government as an area for “colored” families. Marginalized by geography, history and a dominant culture, today most of Manenberg’s estimated 35,000 to 52,000 residents live in overcrowded and problematic conditions. There are around 8,000 households in Manenberg, 52 percent of which are headed by women.

The Unseen Eye keeps One Eye Open – The Eye of Photography

Link:

American Christopher Rauschenberg is one of the heroes of contemporary photography. He is first and foremost a first-class artist, represented by the estimable Elizabeth Leach Gallery in Portland, Oregon where he lives with his wife, Janet Stein. Stein is mentioned here because she is also a seemingly indefatigable second pair of eyes for Chris. Rauschenberg is the most generous fellow around, looking at any and every portfolio at the many reviews he attends. In Portland, he was one of the founders of The Blue Sky Gallery, a terrific not-for-profit space in The Pearl District.

Genevieve Gaignard, In Passing – The Eye of Photography

Link:

In Passing, a solo exhibition of work by Los Angeles-based artist Genevieve Gaignard, brings together several photographs made between 2015 and the present, mapping her ever-evolving performance of identity through large-format self-portraits and vernacular installations. Through an array of campy stereotypes that range from a suspicious housewife peering out a window to a Divine-esque drag queen, Gaignard interrogates her own intersectional identity as a biracial woman as well as the often murky, difficult terrain of race, class, and gender in contemporary culture.

Luis Fabini’s Cowboys of the Americas – The Eye of Photography

Link:

During the summer of 2003, while traveling around northern Uruguay, I stopped at the end of a long day to greet a few gauchos gathered around a fire by the side of a dirt road. As is customary, they invited me to share mate, their traditional beverage. As we stared into the fire, the gaucho in charge of the mate passed it around the men, one at a time. They were cattle drovers, herding a thousand head of cattle back to the estancia. I took a chance and asked the eldest one, “Who is the gaucho?” After a long silence he said, “The gaucho is the land he treads upon.” The authority and conviction of the old gaucho’s words had an immediate impact on me, and the phrase would become the cornerstone of my work and my guiding compass as I embarked on a journey through South and North America, photographing the different groups of cowboys.

Emil, Towards Horizon – The Eye of Photography

Link:

The Russian Emil Gataullin is a master of poetry in black and white, and of photography that recalls that of Henri Cartier-Bresson. It dances in a balance between austerity, deliberate reserve and romantic composition. His theme: the Russian village. A life far from the great decisions scandals, everything is in the light, honest and authentic. His wanderings in the small towns and villages are strolls in an unknown land, introspective walks, a return to his childhood. His photos are neither cynical nor idealist. They are only a moment in life, a declaration of love for a Russia that begins far away from Moscow.

Prayers of the Persecuted Around the World

Monika Bulaj’s discovery that her grandmother’s Polish town was once home to a thriving Jewish community that perished in the Holocaust set her on a 30-year journey documenting religious persecution.

Though Monika Bulaj grew up in Communist Poland, she was nonetheless a devoutly Catholic child who studied mystics and dreamed of a life as a cloistered nun. But her teenage discovery that her grandmother’s town was once home to thousands of Jews who perished in the Holocaust set her on a different path: a 30-year journey documenting persecuted religious minorities around the world.

A Photographer and Her Subject Share a Journey Over the Decades

In “An Autobiography of Miss Wish,” Nina Berman tells the story of Kimberly Stevens, a survivor of sex trafficking and child pornography, whom Ms. Berman has known since meeting her in London 27 years ago.

In the first pages of “An Autobiography of Miss Wish,” the reader meets Kimberly Stevens multiple times: In handwritten notes; dark, cinematic images; drawings of knives and books; and a beaming childhood portrait. Then there’s her psychiatric history written in detached clinical jargon, and a portrait of her prone, living on the street.

Everything starts about hundred years, in 1915, when the New Colorado Gold Prospecting Syndicate, consisting of a Mr Jim Hutchison, his 14 years old son William and two other men had been unsuccessfully prospecting for gold out in the middle of nowhere in South Australia. The young Willie had been left in camp to look after their supplies but disobeyed orders and wandered off to search for water around the foothills of a nearby range. There was a degree of apprehension among the men when he failed to turn up after dark. But a short time later, he strode into camp with a grin on his face. Over his shoulder was slung a sugar bag full of opal. The catalyst for the existence of the future town of Coober Pedy had been discovered.
