In order to create this series, Every Living Thing, Drew photographed local roadkill in a dark studio by torchlight. She exposed the film for 15 minutes against backdrops of previously photographed landscapes printed onto large sheets. After shooting, the animals were given a proper burial in her large backyard.

Changing Face in Poland: Skinhead Puts on Skullcap (Published 2010)
Hundreds of Poles, a majority of them raised as Catholics, are either converting to Judaism or discovering Jewish roots submerged for decades.

“I went to my parents and said, ‘What the hell’? Imagine, I was a neo-Nazi and heard this news? I couldn’t look in the mirror for weeks,” he said. “My parents were the typical offspring of Jewish survivors of the war, who decided to conceal their Jewish identity to try and protect their family.”

On Assignment: Nine Eyes on the Prize
How does Bruce Bennett photograph a disc moving at 100 miles per hour? With seven different cameras, Nicholas Loomis reports.
via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/26/assignment-27/
Bruce Bennett has been shooting with seven cameras at Canada Hockey Place in Vancouver: three at arm’s reach, with lenses of various sizes; two mounted in the rafters, pointing down to the goals; one clamped to the stanchion that holds the goal-indicator light behind a net; and one inside the net itself.
“It’s kind of like playing piano,” said Mr. Bennett, who is the director of photography for hockey imagery at Getty Images.

An Interview with Joel Meyerowitz – Creating A Sense of Place
“There is a dawning awareness that you feel good in this place. Something here makes you attentive, brings you to an awakened state. But you can’t know that beforehand.”
Interview by Constance Sullivan, from Creating A Sense of Place, Smithsonian Institution Press, 1990

I went because I was undergoing some changes in my life in terms of questions I was asking about photography, and there were certain things I had to give up, and I had to be ruthless about it. In order to do that I had to work away from New York City for a while. I knew that the time and work that a view camera required did not allow me to work in a big city in the same way that I had worked with a 35mm camera. So I had to abandon that notion completely and take myself to a place where life was simple, where life moved more slowly, where there was a chance to use this tool and to see differently. I had no idea what it was going to look like. I even kidded myself thinking I would go to Provincetown and work on the street, because it was busy, but smaller, I thought it was manageable. I hardly made any pictures on the street. Everything else seemed to call to me. And I believe these things are related in part to the instrument we choose to work with. An 8 x 10 camera isn’t for horse races. You do what it tells you to do.

“I try to be a photographer. I cannot talk. I am not interested in talking. If I have anything to say, it may be found in my images. I am not interested in talking about things, explaining about the whys and the hows. I do not mind showing my images, but not so much my contact sheets. I mainly work from small test prints. I often look at them, sometimes for a long time. I pin them to the wall, I compare them to make up my mind, be sure of my choices. I let others tell me what they mean. [To Robert Delpire] My photographs, you know them. You have published them, you have exhibited them, then you can tell whether they mean something or not.”
