Txema Salvans: The Waiting Game III – LENSCRATCH

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

“It’s really important that law enforcement distinguishes between journalists and protesters and does not charge journalists for engaging in newsgathering activities,” Katherine Jacobsen, the U.S. and Canada program coordinator at the Committee to Protect Journalists, tells VOA News.

Photographers on Photographers: Blake Andrews in Conversation with Rian Dundon – LENSCRATCH

When I first discovered the work of Rian Dundon, he was deep in the process of photographing the civil unrest in Portland following George Floyd’s murder. Beginning in May 2020, nightly protests engulfed the city for a period of several months. Dundon was there most evenings shooting photos. Occasionally, he ventured further afield to document

via LENSCRATCH: http://lenscratch.com/2024/08/photographers-on-photographers-blake-andrews-in-conversation-with-rian-dundon/

I don’t take a lot of photos. Certainly not everyday, and sometimes it feels like I’m actively avoiding doing so. Mainly I’m responding to the way things look in my immediate surroundings. It is absolutely visual, but it’s also about how connected I feel to something. There is always some level of intuition involved. But no, they rarely turn out how I expect, so I’ve learned not to have too many expectations when I’m pressing that button.

It is this issue of core versus experience. The core isn’t enough to be able to take great photographs – it is 50 something years of building on an aesthetic – you learn from this aesthetic. It helps you to create other aesthetics. If you don’t do the work, then you don’t go anywhere.

via LENSCRATCH: http://lenscratch.com/2024/08/photographers-on-photographers-drew-leventhal-in-conversation-with-carolyn-drake/

I have always found moments of frustration with photography and the desire to come at things from another angle. I feel like there are things photography can’t do or there are aspects of photography that I want to reject or rebel against. And you know, there’s also burnout. Posing another question for you: I would wonder if/how you experience similar frustrations and how you handle them?

The response to the podcast was immediate — so fast that it isn’t even possible that a majority of those who left comments and hit the dislike button could have listened to the whole podcast. Simply for setting foot in Adobe’s building, we were called shills as the hate flowed in. It feels very much like a “shoot the messenger” situation — one I’ve been in before, but that doesn’t make it any easier to come to terms with.
