be patient : James D. Griffioen Photographer Tom Craig's best shot | Art and design I've been to 90 countries and the days when I can just enjoy a place on its own merits are long gone. I am constantly trying to join the dots, to figure out why we're eating croissant in the Congo, why that Inuit is so drunk, whether that marsupial can really be carnivorous. Every detail says something telling about the there and then. I first worked with the journalist AA Gill on a trip to Chad for a Médecins Sans Frontières book. I heard he had a reputation for not getting along with photographers, but we did, famously, and have been working together ever since. People are always quite surprised that neither of us know much about the places we visit. In this case we were in Albania for six days in 2006. I don't know whether these men were unemployed, had been thrown out of their houses by their wives or were just hanging out. It was a moment that seemed to capture the place, and set stories running in my mind. Born: 1974, Truro, Cornwall Studied: Biology at Edinburgh university
Erik Johansson Photo & Retouch PIETER HUGO - Photographer Artificial Owl Amy Stein | Photography | Blog Simon Høgsberg MATERIAL WORLD (in progress) : Photography by David Welch Material World takes influence from the Marxist concept “Objectification”. This concept marks a transformative relationship between humankind and nature where individuals manifest their activities into materially existing forms. To Marx, these forms serve as mirrors for self-understanding through contemplation and reflection, progressive steps towards our enhanced capacity as human beings. A rupture in this process occurs within our contemporary society, as many individuals do not own the means of their own objectification potential. But objects do have communicative abilities and we give them meaning, investing cultural significance, passing objects from a closed, silent existence to an oral state, like a system of language, where objects can communicate certain values. Material World is my response to our contemporary consumer milieu.
