What does it mean to be alone? To be isolated from the people and things we hold dearest? Since the pandemic, it seems like we all have an answer to this very question. Some people embraced the mandatory isolation while others struggled being forced to be
Artist William Mark Sommer explores what it meant to be truly alone in his project, The Loneliest Highway. Taking a road trip along the Lincoln Highway in Nevada, Sommers documented spaces that felt barren and empty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in an effort to capture this new way of living — closed off and separated from one another
Given that geolocations can be time-consuming, researchers are always on the lookout for tools which can ease or automate parts of the process. That’s where new AI tools come in – particularly chatbots, with their impressive ability to find and process information.

As a British artist living and working in Ukraine, Mark Neville shares an account of his experiences in a country that has now been under siege for more than 500 days. Known for his long-term, immersive documentary projects in various places, from Glasgow to Helmand Province, Neville reflects on reconciling the urge to document what is happening in his adopted home with the waves of grief, fear and horror felt as the war has unfolded in real time.
“We plan to focus even more directly on distinctive, high-impact news and enterprise journalism about how sports intersect with money, power, culture, politics and society at large,” the editors wrote in an email to The Times’s newsroom on Monday morning. “At the same time, we will scale back the newsroom’s coverage of games, players, teams and leagues.”
This week we are featuring projects seen at the Medium Photo Portfolio Reviews. If a future anthropologist were to go back in time to 2020 and look for clues to a world wide pandemic, the masks and gloves and hand sanitizers would be deep into landfills,
Artist Ari Salomon has created a project of unique typologies that reflect the symbols created to assist us in staying covid-free. As the world returns to some new form of normalcy, these remnants become part of our histories, paint and tape etched into sidewalks and floors. In viewing a collection of this new language, Solomon moves these humble gestures into a new artform of street art. The work is expanded by a zine and unique installations.

Patterson’s photographs served as plainspoken time capsules of the community. In a 2008 documentary called “Captured,” which chronicles his life on the Lower East Side, he says, “Looking out on the street is like being in an aquarium, and when I look out on the street I see this activity all day long.”
All through the weekend, as I passed by, there were different people, different characters. I photographed them whenever I saw someone different. When I got the film back, I looked at the faces, and there were fourteen different people. So, I put together a zine. I printed something like twenty copies, and slipped fourteen of them into the mailbox for Gary. When I went to the barbershop next to get my hair cut—this is pre-pandemic—they said, “Gary brought in the book that you made for him.” He had brought it in to show to them. Now all the guys, when I see them, they’re like, Oh, you made that book for us! That exchange is part of my practice.

Opening Kibbitz & Nosh: When We All Met at Dubrow’s Cafeteria is like stepping through the revolving doors of that now-defunct establishment, into the world of New York’s vanished cafeteria culture. Marcia Bricker Halperin’s evocative black and white photographs transport us there with the same wonder she felt when she first entered Dubrow’s on a cold morning in 1975
Jana Ašenbrennerová is a Czech photojournalist currently based in San Francisco. Her specialties include social documentary and environmental portraiture. She dedicates her time to international reporting, pursuing independent projects primarily in Africa
Connecting with all kinds of people is the biggest gift I get from my work. If I ever have to choose only one thing I can photograph for the rest of my life there would be no doubt what I would choose. There is nothing I’m drawn to more than people.

Taylor Galloway’s newest publication, I Can Feel You Dreaming from Deadbeat Club invites the viewer along for what seems like an American road trip with the cozy familiars of train crossings and prairie bison. But linger a bit longer and you may feel the stir of a fever dream. We are on this train barreling full speed through metaphor and archetype.
Doused in bright sunlight, friends and strangers are immortalized in front of Nico Froehlich’s lens, coming together to form “South of the River” — a fond portrait of the area of London where he grew up

In Jonas Kulikauskas’s black and white photographs, the peaceful streets of Vilnius, Lithuania, hide a dark secret. The cobblestones trace the footprint of the Vilna Ghetto, where nearly 40,000 Jews lived during the Holocaust
The book Ukraine: A War Crime brings together the work of 93 photographers who covered the first year of the war in Ukraine, documenting the fighting, its effects on the population, and the visual evidence of war crimes.
20 Days in Mariupol by Mstyslav Chernov traces the Russian siege of the port in harrowing detail. Here, he discusses his documentary with a fellow war reporter
It is a brave, visceral, merciless masterpiece. I’ll stake a claim, for what it’s worth: after decades of war reporting, and watching hundreds of films about war, there are few, if any, like this. Chernov’s film documents Russia’s shocking war crimes against Mariupol on a vast, epic scale, in counterpoint to detail so intimate it borders on unbearable, as it should.
Family pictures have changed a lot over the years. We used to go to the mall with our families, all dressed up, to pose for a formal portrait. But now, family pictures look more like a magazine shoot. You’re in a field somewhere, laughing, walking, playin
Jill McNamara began as a photojournalist, but, when she had kids, she began doing family photography — the kinds in fields with very carefully chosen, not-quite-matching family outfits.
