Another Place Mag has a post on Kevin Crooks’ excellent work on the M62. The work focuses on the length of the M62 traversing the Pennines.
JM Colberg has some thoughts on writing about your own photography.
With this approach, photographing becomes an iterative process: as you take more and more pictures, your careful looking at them guides you and helps you to develop the work. Whatever your project might be slowly takes shape, and you allow yourself to be guided by your own photographs. As you gain more and more clarity, expressing what the work is doing is a vital part of this process.
An interesting piece from Paper Arts on the discontinuing of a couple of classic papers.
The Outdoor Industry and the cycling industry at the time kept saying (and still is saying) why are there not more BIPOC folks in Outdoor Recreation. The fact is that they are out there in force and always have been, the industry just wasn’t committing to telling the real narrative. Again, as a straight White Male I also realized I was what BIPOC and LGBTQ folks feared and that I must build long term, trusting and lasting relationships with my subjects long before I even got to the idea of creating images of them in their play spaces outdoors.
Another great article via Lenscratch, William Boling discusses The Future of the Photo Festival in the Covid Age.
