“Avi”* used to go to the field every day, with his R18*, ‘The car of the year’ said the sticker on the back of the car. Many years had passed, so many that he was now old along with the car too. Every day he got up and religiously followed his usual routine. He ate almond milk with cereal, dressed and went to the garage, where before, there had been pigs and horses, and now was his son’s field van and his R18 that he had used so much.

Juxtapoz Magazine – FloodZone: An Unsettling View of Impending Sea Level Rise in Miami

“FloodZone” is Miami-based Russian photographer Anastasia Samoylova’s account of life on the knife-edge of the Southern United States: in Florida, whe…

Link: https://www.juxtapoz.com/news/photography/floodzone-an-unsettling-view-of-impending-sea-level-rise-in-miami/

The color palette is tropical: lush greens, azure blues, pastel pinks. But the mood is pensive and melancholy. As new luxury high-rises soar, their foundations are in water. Crumbling walls carry images of tourist paradise. Manatees appear in odd places, sensitive to environmental change. Water is everywhere and water is the problem. Mixing lyric documentary, gently staged photos and epic aerial vistas, FloodZone crosses boundaries to express the deep contradictions of the place. The carefully paced sequence of photographs, arranged as interlocking chapters, make no judgment: they simply show.

On March 10, COVID-19 knocked me out. After weeks of labored breathing and a wide range of seemingly unrelated symptoms, I recovered, yearning to create portraits. The experience of photographing housemates, friends, and over 500 hundred New Yorkers, with each subject’s, or parent’s, permission, in a public place and using a telephoto lens to remain socially distanced, often at Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ+ rallies, has been deeply moving, and led to this project, Masked NYC:

Don’t Lie to Me – Photographs by Paulo Coqueiro | Essay by Amy Parrish | LensCulture

Through layers of mind-bending work, Brazilian artist Paulo Coqueiro weaves a photo-based approach to writing — revealing mysteries and mistruths surrounding the disappearance of photojournalist Tito Ferraz

via LensCulture: https://www.lensculture.com/articles/paulo-coqueiro-don-t-lie-to-me

“Remember, I am lying to you.” Politically-entrenched photojournalist Tito Ferraz went missing from his home in December, 2016. Over the course of several months, the outspoken photographer communicated across his network of 5000 Facebook friends, dropping breadcrumbs which would ultimately end in his sudden and dramatic disappearance. A threatening letter arrives. His apartment is broken into. Hard drives are destroyed. Evidence is collected. Everything gets documented through forensic-style photographs. Flyers go up through his community in Bahia, Brazil demanding answers and justice. What happened to Tito Ferraz?

Matt Stuart’s Into the Fire documents the daily lives of people who live in Slab City, an off-grid community based on a former military base in the Sonoran desert, just north of the Mexican border. It is home to travellers, dog lovers, thieves, military veterans, artists and inventors. Its population numbers thousands throughout the winter, in the summer, when temperatures can exceed 120°F (49°C) it dwindles into the low hundreds. True ‘Slabbers’ are the people who have managed to survive two summers. These are the people Matt befriended and photographed.

In the 1980s when Virgil DiBiase was in medical school studying neurology, there were 500,000 people with dementia in this country. In just four decades, that number has skyrocketed to nearly 6 million people, with projections of 300% growth by mid-century. If we make it to old age, an estimated one in three people will fall victim to the disease.
