In Perfect Day, Txema Salvans photographs Spain’s holiday-makers in unexpected corners of the postindustrial landscape. Sunbathers congregate in car parks, swimming pools are nestled between encroaching buildings, and cranes and cooling towers loom over beaches. In these surreal, banal and humorous scenes, Salvans reveals how the pursuit of leisure persists in spite of the ominous pressures of the built environment, expressing a deeply human determination to adapt, and find repose, against the odds.

I first visited Ukrainian prisons in 2009, while working on a project for Doctors Without Borders. I remember seeing the conjugal rooms and being struck by how no two rooms were alike.

Opinion | To Be Hungry in the Middle of the Pandemic

In the neighborhoods most devastated by the coronavirus, food insecurity has emerged as a major concern.

Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/04/opinion/coronavirus-food-banks-hunger.html

In the best of times, life in New York City can be unforgiving. It was hard enough, working full tilt, to cover rent, child care and food before the pandemic. Now, in the neighborhoods most devastated by the coronavirus, life has become more precarious. And the most elemental human need — food — has become a pressing, urgent concern.

Japanese photographer Takamoto Yamauchi’s latest series was created during several journeys within Japan and overseas and is a dark trip into the depths of the human psyche. Selected from over 30,000 photographs, Yamauchi’s “Vortex” slowly came into being during the author’s year-long correspondence with Daido Moriyama. The result is a dizzying series of photographs that transcends genres and engages in metaphors and narrative subtlety to explore Yamauchi’s interests in the black parts of the human psyche.

via Medium: https://witness.worldpressphoto.org/the-gold-we-inherited-the-gold-of-our-dreams-9ef637dc6280

I originally envisioned bright photographs for this project, to mimic the sun-like quality of gold. But I ended up being drawn to the darkness surrounding gold’s glow, that hints at the mystery, greed, and violence associated with it over time. That, too, is part of Peru’s gold legacy. The glimpse of flickering light in the darkness, the promise of wealth for anyone willing to grasp at it.
