Happy Kansas Day

Posted on January 29, 2016 by webdev

Missouri St parade 200 block c 1954
Herman K. sends me this photo, given to him today in celebration of something called “Kansas Day”, celebrating 155 years of Kansas statehood.  This description is given:

This photo, probably taken off the top of the Kinne & Kerans building, shows a parade in the downtown historic district of Alma, Kansas. I think this photo dates from about 1954 or 1955. In dating this photo one can notice that two lots to the south of the “Palenske Hall building”, seen at the far left in this view, the lot is empty. In 1956 Hasenbank Furniture constructed a building on this lot, and this photo was taken before that construction. Notice Alma Sundries occupies what is now the Wabaunsee County Museum, seen here at the far right edge of the photo.

Against Neutrality

Posted on January 16, 2016 by webdev

sheikh_reda_shata_NYTPhotojournalism, before my interests gravitated to something more like the realm of fine art pursuit, was my initial objective when I entered photography. And I soon learned that context was everything, when measuring the standards of truth and fairness projected by a photograph. How “real” a photograph is has been a dogged concern since the form’s 19th century inception, and continues to this day, particularly in an era of easy technical manipulation and easy means to juxtapose images with words.

Writing in the New York Times Magazine on January 14, 2016, photographer/author Teju Cole gives us this thoughtful piece: “Against Neutrality”.
