"For me, these photographs explore the effects of the conflicts and collisions that are gradually and chaotically reshaping the spaces around us, played out in slow motion with unpredictable, often disturbing results. This silent hand-over, the transformation of one environment into another, may speak to something deeper within our collective memories: the alteration of places we once knew, an inexorable reminder of the inevitability of change… a farewell to personal Edens"–Hin Chua

Re-Enactors at KLOMPCHING

"London-based photographer Jim Naughten donned flack jacket and camouflage gear to enter the ranks of the world of war re-enactors: simulated battle and bully beef events attended by 20,000-odd UK individuals for whom tin soldiers were never quite enough. “I’d been looking for a large photographic project for a while” he explains. “When I came across the re-enactors I felt utterly compelled to capture them. I saw it as an opportunity to create my version of Avedon’s ‘In the American West’, a book I had loved since college”. Naughten admits to being fascinated as a child by the stories told by his desert rat grandfather and Spitfire pilot uncle; “I built model aircraft, tanks, soldiers and dioramas”. Once embedded with the re-enactors, he felt “an extraordinary sense of recognition…really seeing all my childhood toys full-sized for the first time”... read more here"

Becker is a modern day explorer, no less a pioneer than his famous "pole fever" predecessors, from Carsten Borchgrevink, the first Norwegian explorer to set foot in Antarctica, to Ernest Shackleton's well-known Endurance expedition. Between 2003 and 2006, Becker traveled a total of 2,500 miles up and down the coast of Greenland in a rigid inflatable boat...One hundred years from now his photographs may be all that's left to view of this extraordinary world. — From Elizabeth Avedon's photo-eye Review of Above Zero

Have You Read...Ptolemy Tompkins, The Divine Life of Animals: One Man's Quest to Discover Whether the Souls of Animals Live On. He received both a New York Times Book Review and an excerpt in The New York Times newspaper on the same day! In his Huffington Post Interview, Do Our Pets Go To Heaven, "Tompkins undertakes an exploration into the myths and beliefs across time that have defined animals' place in the metaphysical scheme of things". Ptolemy, the son of 1970s guru and best-selling New-Age cult author, Peter Tompkins (The Secret Life of Plants, Secrets of the Great Pyramid, and Mysteries of the Mexican Pyramids), is himself the author of four critically praised books, The Beaten Path: Field Notes on Getting Wise in a Wisdom-Crazy World, Paradise Fever: Growing Up in the Shadow of the New Age, The Monkey in Art, and This Tree Grows Out of Hell, a spiritual history of Mesoamerica.

Photographer and part-time educator, Kevin Miyazaki, has created THE BIG LIST [567 & GROWING] OF PHOTOGRAPHER AND PHOTO INDUSTRY INTERVIEWS on MIAD-FA382. It's a fantastic Resource - a must-see-and-read for anyone interested in Photography!

You can read HOME: KNOWN AND UNKNOWN by curator Karin Higa, Japanese American National Museum, about Miyazaki's series Camp Home (on his website under Personal/Camp Home). He has been documenting the reuse of buildings from the * Tule Lake Internment Camp, where his father's family was placed during World War II. Because photography was forbidden by internees, very few photographs of the home-life were made by the families. "My pictures act as evidence, though many years later, of a domestication rarely recorded during the initial life of the structures."

Kevin Miyazaki: Website
The Big List: MIAD-FA382

* Tule Lake was the largest and most controversial of the ten War Relocation Authority WRA camps used to carry out the government’s system of exclusion and detention of persons of Japanese descent, mandated by Executive Order 9066. Two-thirds of the 120,000 persons of Japanese descent incarcerated in American concentration camps were American citizens, an act that culminated decades of anti-Japanese violence, discrimination and propaganda.
