People Love Photos
18 Dec
I had no idea that there had been a recent documentary about Tanyth Berkeley, Traci and Ashley, and Elinor Carucci, but Amadelio, a recently established production company, has made People * Love * Photos.

(“Don’t keep hamsters if you can’t remember to feed them”?) It is the blog version of saying, “I’ve really let myself go.” Supposing that I have, it seems that [...]

the byline
This is what Hans Rosling says of global development in the documentary I linked to earlier. I want to dig a little deeper into this issue. I’d say that most of the photo world has done a fairly terrible job of making this point. All the images of development are somehow read as “look at [...]
