Molly Landreth's Tender Vintage Portraits of Modern Queer Life. By Maria Popova What Victorian photography has to do with a watershed moment for modern democracy and human rights. Late last Friday, the New York State Senate passed a marriage equality act , making New York the sixth and largest state to legalize same-sex marriage — a momentous occasion Mayor Bloomberg called “a historic triumph for equality and freedom.” To celebrate the occasion — though it’s utterly embarrassing we’re just doing that in 2011 — here’s a look at the wonderful work of photographer Molly Landreth , profiled in Etsy’s lovely Handmade Portraits series.
For the past five years, Landreth has been documenting queer and transgendered life using a vintage 4×5 large-format camera. Her tender, poetic portraits aim to redefine what it means to be queer today, exposing her subjects’ most vulnerable and human sides. Real strength and real tenderness at the same time, in one frame, is something that I go back to a lot. Cooper, Oakland, CA, 2009 Rory and His Uncles, Brighton England.

City of Shadows - Sydney Police Photographs 1912-1948 Peter Doyle with Caleb Williams Hardback Thames & Hudson ISBN: 978-1-876991-1-20-3 THE BULK of the glass plate negatives and other photographic records had been created by the police as a ‘visual’ forensic evidence, common enough today, but still an embryonic science just before the Great War. The images are themselves an unemotional study of the criminal fringes of Sydney society, and it is a regret that the police notations that accompanied them, referenced by index numbers scratched onto the plates, have long since vanished.
