Over the years, he’s covered plenty of high-profile events, including three Olympics and five Super Bowls.
Last fall, I marked my 25th anniversary with The Post-Crescent. It’s incredible how quickly time passes. I’ve spent close to half my life documenting the Fox Cities, Wisconsin and beyond. This journey has given me the privilege to tell the stories of so many.

What began as an initial desire by Eli Durst to photograph the insides of church basements quickly expanded into a much broader series examining the fundamental search for community in America. The activities depicted in his series “The Community” range from Boy Scout meetings to New Age spiritual practices to corporate team-building exercises and were all made in multipurpose community spaces that are ubiquitous throughout the United States. “I became intrigued by the way one activity bleeds into another,” writes Durst, “creating a symbolic space of communal introspection. Put simply, these photographs are about the search for purpose and meaning in a world that both demands and resists interpretation.”

With her project Woman Go No´Gree Gloria Oyarzabal asks, “Can we assume social relations in all societies are organized around biological sexual differences?” Oyarzabal tackles this question by exploring colonialism and white feminism in West Africa through the use of found imagery, archives, and her own photography. Inspired by the texts of Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí and Ifi Amadiume, Oyarzabal raises questions about the effects of the Western framework of gender and feminism, but not without addressing her own whiteness and privilege—implicating herself in bold green text on the front cover.

Last summer, the photojournalist and animal rights activist Konrad Lozinski went undercover to document life inside an integrated pig fattening barn in Poland. “This photo was taken during the daytime, in the early morning, but only bits of light could get through the little windows of the farm’s building,” he tells me.

It’s apt that in a year of so much turmoil, angst and chaotic worry that we end 2020 on a street corner in the Bronx, NYC. The year took an interesting turn for Radio Juxtapoz in NYC this past March, as suddenly the pandemic gripped the city while co-hosts Doug Gillen and Evan Pricco were producing podcasts for Armory Week. For what NYC and the world has endured since those early months, to be here talking to Steven Sweatpants as he was finishing up a photoshoot with the NY Knicks feels like an incredible full circle odyssey.

In 1963 a group of Black photographers based in New York came together in the spirit of friendship and exchange and chose the name Kamoinge—meaning “a group of people acting together” in Gikuyu, the language of the Kikuyu people of Kenya—to reflect the essential ideal of the collective. This November, the Whitney opened Working Together: The Photographers of the Kamoinge Workshop, a groundbreaking exhibition featuring over 150 photographs by fourteen early members of the Kamoinge Workshop, nine of whom are living and working today.

When I drive through the streets of Los Angeles, I am overwhelmed by the homeless encampments that are literally everywhere–in door ways, under freeway over passes, in every park in the city–clusters of tents are now a ubiquitous part of the landscape. Covid has only increased the population and the daily consideration of people in need. In addition to the street encampments, a host of families and individuals that have found homes in RV’s and buses that line the avenues and beaches. Documentary photographer, Dotan Saguy has produced a poignant and profound project, Nowhere to go but Anywhere, following one Mormon family from Brazil as they navigate the terrain of finding home, wherever they park their bus. This year long effort is now a book, under the same title, published by Kehrer Verlag. The book starts on the day the family arrives in Los Angeles, and over the months, Dotan shares intimate and authentic portraits of the beauty and chaos of unconventional family life. The book has accompanying interviews that he conducted with the family discussing topics such as immigration, modern parenting, the stigma of homelessness, and questioning one’s religious identity. The book is a testament to being human. Nowhere to go but Anywhere is available now on Amazon. A limited number of signed first edition copies are still available on Dotan’s website.

Anglo-Moroccan artist Hassan Hajjaj blends artistic themes and genres from the diverse range of his influences. The universe he creates is whimsical and eccentric, initiating a dialogue between tradition and modernity, between culture and pop culture. Known for his highly colorful portraits teetering between documentary and fashion photography, Hajjaj also integrates African prints and fabrics, canned products and manipulated logos into his compositions. He thus develops a kind of visual re-appropriation of global consumer products and presents a critical interpretation of oriental exoticism.

Today we present the work of Tito Mouraz, a Portuguese photographer from the interior north of the country. He too, enjoys to photographically approach the themes of landscape, memory, myth and nature. The first major work in Tito Mouraz’s career was Open Space Office, about the exploration of nature’s possibilities by humans, and the radical transformation it operates in the landscape. Developed in Portugal’s marble quarries during three years, it reveals a paradox, in the sense that while human interventions in nature can lead to unprecedented destruction, they can also create beautiful images. A comforting idea, that it is still possible to find poetry in destruction. He approaches many of the primordial elements that are apparently constitutive of a particular gaze from the region. In Open Space Office, I am particularly drawn to the image where one can notice a crack in one of the walls. Not coincidentally, a few years later the collapse of a marble quarry in Portugal raised questions on the safety of such places.
