I can't believe the high standard attained but I particularly love the polar bear story - thank you very much for bringing these to us. A very Merry Christmas to all from NZ.
4:22 Majid Hojjat's landscape photo reminds me of Hashem Shakeri's award-winning series "Cast Out Of Heaven". The following image is reminiscent of some "New Topographics" photographs, specifically the one by Stephen Shore “U.S. 97, south of Klamath Falls, Oregon, July 21, 1973.” with a billboard.
Thanks for featuring a Ukrainian photographer Yelena Yemchuk and her book ODESA. Her photographs look like Rineke Dijkstra's portraits of youth some of which were taken in the city of Odesa, at the Black Sea in Ukraine.
Thanks Graeme. I can’t wait for your Saul Leiter talk…a favorite of mine. Three books I picked up this year were Alec Soth’s “A Pound of Pictures”, Irina Rozovsky’s “In Plain Sight” and “Brooklyn” by Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb.
Yes, Saul Leiter is a real original. I just googled Irina's work - such a good idea and very nicely done. Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb make such a good team - their photographs really work well together. Thanks.
🇺🇦 Bucha photo (3:42) is very dramatic especially given the context: war crimes and atrocities that Russians committed there against civilians (rape of children, women, executions, looting)
