Kyler Zeleny has a particular way of seeing the world, or more specifically, seeing the Canadian prairie, that is both historical and theatrical, cinematic and apocalyptic.

His unique approach to combing text and image, vintage and contemporary photographs and ephemera, oral histories and community records, make Bury Me in the Back Forty a rich narrative of prairie life.

For a moment I was terrified. Then I remembered my camera. Looking through my telephoto lens, I saw exactly where I needed to be. Palms sweaty, heavy camera bags slung over my shoulder, I pushed through the crowd and entered a small clearing just in time to find an athlete bent down on one prosthetic knee. His girlfriend looked surprised and delighted. I watched every emotion wash over her face. I focused my lens and clicked the shutter. I got the shot.

Published with Hartmann Books, Ein Dorf (A Village) 1950–2022 is a photobook by Ute Mahler and Werner Mahler in posthumous collaboration with their late family member Ludwig Schirmer. It allows the viewer to travel through time yet stay in the same place – Berka, a small village in Thuringia, Germany – where in recent days the far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (AFD) has come top in a state election. In his review, Michael Grieve writes how photography projects that collaborate with the deceased have the potential to breathe new life and recontextualise how we understand the past, the present, and project with unease into an uncertain future.

Chernobyl, in Ukraine, is one such monument; the naval base at Sevastopol, which Russia has retained by annexing Crimea, is another. With regard to Baikonur, the Russians have largely squandered the incredible work done during the Soviet period

With the dog days of summer on our doorsteps. we thought we’d share three days of posts on dogs. Enjoy the last days of summer…and the dogs! I first learned of Txema Salvans’s work from an Instagram post recommending his book The Waiting Game III. Since the photographs included dogs, I was curious to see
As you see, my dog project, unlike most dog projects does not have an intention to show how much fun they are. My project is a much more critical look at the kind of relationship we have with them, but mostly I use the figure of the dog to understand the kind of relationship we have with our natural environment
