In these solitary outings, the human part is missing. The taste of the city is bitter without the life it breathes, yes, those who are just as capable of messing up and destroying.

DECISIONS MADE BY PHOTOJOURNALISTS and their editors define traumatic events in the cultural consciousness. Throughout coverage of COVID-19, many news outlets have published photographs that reiterate racist tropes, suggest a false gap between “East” and “West,” and fail to engage a fuller range of human efforts to respond to a pandemic.

Whether in a war zone or refugee camp, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario has spent her career on the front line armed with little more than a lens. While covering the Arab Spring uprising in Libya in 2011, Addario and her colleagues were kidnapped and beaten for days and their driver was killed. Her 2015 memoir, It’s What I Do, is a New York Times bestseller, and she put out a coffee table book of her photographs in 2018 titled Of Love & War. A native of Westport, Addario currently lives in London with her husband and two children.

Today we look to the view outside Hayahisa Tomiyasu’s window. For five years the photographer documented the scenes that unfolded around a ping-pong table outside of his apartment Leipzig, Germany. We see the table used as a sun bed, a laundry counter, a kid’s jungle gym, an exercise site, a family lunch spot, a refuge from busy streets, everything except for the game it was made for. Thanks to Tomiyasu’s sustained patience and curiosity we observe the idiosyncrasies of human behaviour and social habits, as seasons change, scenes mutate and people come and go.

I was dismayed to hear that the remarkable Judy Gelles passed away recently. She had a profound sense of humanity, combined with wonderful humor, and unique way of looking at the world, especially her own life and family. In fact, she was a truth teller. Judy came onto my radar around 2008 when I was writing a lot about photographers who focus work on their families. She told me that she had made work in the 1980’s that had been dismissed by curators and she was thrilled that projects created about the people under our own roof were being recognized. I wrote about her work three times and was always happy to promote her wonderful projects. She will be missed but we are so lucky to have her rich body of work to continue to inspire and delight us. Her son David Gelles recently wrote about the difficulty of planning her funeral in the time of Covid19 for CNN.

Sometimes the research for one project inspires new ideas of disseminating the information on other platforms. Film producer Matt Kapp, in his research for his documentary film, 16 Acres, about the rebuilding the World Trade Center, collected a significant amount of archival materials. His appreciation for New York history spurred him to thencreate a book, A Century Downtown, a project that looks at the last one hundred years of life in New York’s financial district. Published by powerHouse, the book presents and array of photographs, paintings, renderings, drawings, and other images culled from dozens of archives and individual collections worldwide.

While shining an unflinching light on major Bangladeshi tragedies and struggles, Shahidul Alam’s images reveal a country and cultures often misunderstood and misrepresented. In addition to his powerful photographs, Alam has made an impact in Bangladesh, across South Asia, and even globally as the conceptual architect of transformative institutions, including Drik Picture Library, Drik Gallery, Pathshala South Asia Media Institute, Chobi Mela Photography Festival, and Majority World Photos.

When former Houses of Parliament photographer Mark Duffy heard a knock on the door at 8am on Wednesday, the 12th of February, he thought it was an Amazon delivery. Instead, he found eight black-clad police officers standing in his doorway, at their head a plain-clothes officer clutching a court order in search of “Pugin-designed furniture, candlesticks, ceramics, clocks or lamps” allegedly stolen by Irish-born Duffy from the House of Commons.
A look into the grocery carts of New Yorkers on the edge of a pandemic.

Plenty of New Yorkers—including health-care providers, delivery couriers, and transportation workers—don’t have the luxury of withdrawing from the public, even if they desire to. One group that’s possibly busier than ever are the employees of the city’s grocery stores, one of the few types of businesses that remain open. At supermarkets across the city, shoppers have thronged the aisles, some anxiously provisioning for weeks of bunkering at home, others simply (and, perhaps, defiantly) going about their normal routines.

Every time I mention the merits of anything related to Leica, I catch flack from a contingent of readers here that seem to be angry that I would even talk
I write about all camera equipment because in the modern age of imaging technology, it all merits recognition. Specifically in this case, the Leica M10 Monochrom is one of the most fulfilling experiences I have ever had with any camera, and I need to talk about why.
