As a Canadian, thank you for introducing us to to a wonderful Canadian photographer. I would have never discovered his work if it hadn't been for your wonderful channel.
Thank you, Tatiana; I've been passionate about photography for a few years now, and I appreciate this channel as a valuable resource for learning, especially as it often feels like the focus has shifted too much to gear rather than honing our skills.
Thank you so much for watching, definitely look up for sure, his work is really outstanding in my eyes, my favourite works and I would recommend would be on the Mennonites and From My Front Porch!
Hopper, you did it. Thank you. Speaking for the forgotten voiceless victims of our comfortable complacency is the most important work an artist can do. The more so because the artist is our society's thought leader. Towell photos are essays, poems, treatises. Thank you. ❤
Wow. Towell's images are stunning. Love the composition, often stark black and white, the sense of space and balance between human/nature, the deep focus. Just wow. Also, very much into that new back ground. Three movie posters and a classic album cover. Perfect, the way the 4 posters center, frame, and emphasize your face. Like the softer light and white background. All make you and the mic the focus.
Thanks for another compelling video on a photographer I know nothing about! A video on his Ruins: Afghanistan or a deeper dive of The World from my Front Porch book would be intriguing to see! Looking forward to more content as always.
What schedule? I’m not holding you to any schedule. It might take me months (or forever) to prepare a comparable video, so you remain ahead of the game to me. Thanks.
This is really great, Tatiana. It's so interesting to see into those radioactive places, and just in general, I've been so moved lately by people who are documenting places and moments in time and life captured. I mean, I know that's what we do, but through your videos, I get such a better perspective on "why" photography. You know what I mean? I'm not a pro. I'm a hobbyist. But I am (our could be) another person documenting the life and world around us. We all are (can be). Great video. I loved hearing this.
This reminds me of the Amish this election in 2024. They never voted, but they felt their very lifestyle was in jeopardy. They came out with their horse and buggy in caravans to vote in communities in several states. Our current government drove these quiet people out into the public eye because they were terrified the never-ending attack on what they cherish would be wiped out.
photography possesses this power to readily highlight the immense suffering of people in the distant lands that have become the playground of the military industrial powers of the world. Yet to achieve this, it has to be seen and understood by a wide audience. This is not happening any longer. Much the same as the phrase social conscience has been made a taboo, so has sympathy for those people who have been labelled terrorists or undesirable by the very www. media who has the primary responsibility of being impartial and fact based reporting. I hope that it changes, but I don't see it. Not in my lifetime.
Huh? Not happening any longer? Are your eyes wide shut? The world is now reported via the internet by Freelance/Citizen journalists on the ground everyday. The internet bypasses the stranglehold the MSM and Governments had on such things and has the power to expose any such taboos to millions around the world instantly. If you're not seeing it then you're probably not looking in the right places. If you want the truth then turn off your biased, agenda driven legacy MSM TV. The internet is where it's now at anyways.
It still happens, although more silently. LFI documents such work a lot. Just remember one photographer last year documenting the East Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union. After documenting the West Ukraine a month before through the lens of another photographer. Without judging. Absurd that a magazine published by a manufacturer of premium cameras tells us more about the world we live in than our hopefully dying mainstream media. Photography is much more alive than journalism.
@@dirkpehrke9909 Absolutely brilliant reply. I am of the opinion that this censorship of events in other parts of the world is much more by design than coincidence. Our governments no longer want us to know exactly what is going on and being done in our name or worse. In any case you are 100% correct about the media. I am not clever enough to come up with a solution to this, but to quote the great line from Hamlet "there is something rotten in the state of Denmark".

No, no, no, only Atget can do that. There’s Atget, and then there’s all of us.
This isn't photography
