Yannick Vallet photographies - deux ou trois choses - photographs - two or three things. DANNY LYON: “DOCUMERICA” (1970′s. John White: Portrait of Black Chicago The following essay is adapted from a longer article by Bruce I. Bustard, the curator of Portrait of Black Chicago. The DOCUMERICA Project, 1971-77 If I were to begin describing to you a collection of photographs in the National Archives, taken in the early and mid-1970s by photographers on contract with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you would probably not get too enthusiastic. And if I would then say that these photographs document “subjects of environmental concern,” you would probably assume, as I did, that this collection consists of images of smog, clear-cut timber, traffic congestion, sewerage plants, and oil spills.

You would be in for a pleasant surprise. You would be surprised because, while the images I am discussing–the records of the EPA`s DOCUMERICA Project–do, in fact, contain scenes of environmental blight, they also include many images that go well beyond any narrow definition of “environmental concern.” By Bruce I. Beth Dow. Irina Werning. I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… Two years ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.. Now its time for KOREA, TAIWAN AND TOKYO.
