André Cypriano Shoots The Other Venezuela
Posted by bruce in Conflict, Documentary Photography, Photography That Matters, Photojournalism, South America, Street Photography on December 9, 2011
From Shantytown by André Cypriano-©2011
André Cypriano takes us into the forbidden hills of Caracas Venezuela. He takes us into a strange land of oddly shaped houses, winding streets carved out of the hills, into a land so odd and so foreign that it must be myth but can only be reality. He notices, as all greart documnentarey phtography does, that ordinary reality, in some cases, is always more intense and mind-boggling than any fiction can be,
Cypriano takes us to Rochinha.
How he got there, who gave him access and what he encounters is worth serious viewing time. In the New York times Lens Blog post, below, wander with André.
He will take you on a journey you well not forget.

El Paso —-
Bruce shoots Juárez. Reluctantly and with remorse.
Since 2008 the photographer has been documenting the aftermath of violence in the troubled northern Mexico city. His interest is in the effect of the Cartel War on the population of the city, particularly the effect on the children of the city who have grown up knowing little else.
His current work is in a mental institution in the city, what he refers to as “The House Of The Abandoned.”.
The body of work -The Other Truth- will appear on this site on November 18th.

Exhibit looks at Houston through Marvin Zindler’s lens

Marvin Zindler, early 1950s
BAYOU CITY NOIR
His name was Marvin Zindler, and he wanted everyone in Houston to know it — but it was the early ’50s, and not everyone did yet. If someone called him “the Night Hawk,” he didn’t mind.
By day, Zindler was still selling ladies’ lingerie at his dad’s department store. But at night, he lead-footed his red Mercury through the Bayou City’s dark streets, listening to the police chatter on the radio, looking for mayhem.
On a good night, he reached the carnage before the cops did. Read the rest of this entry »
