New York Times Opinion” A Photographer’s American Road Trip An-My Lê October 27, 2020

Photographs and Text by An-My Lê
These past four years, I’ve been on a photographic road trip of the United States. It often seems that there are two Americas, left and right, looking at the same place from radically different and irreconcilable perspectives.
This week I found myself on the grounds of the White House. It was a drizzly, dreary morning. Dug up sections of the lawn adjacent to a lineup of broadcast tents appeared like graves. A theater of the real. I photographed Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, who is all about work, in his Capitol office. On his coffee table lay a biography of the “Silent General,” Ulysses S. Grant.
Ms. Lê was a 2012 MacArthur fellow, and a survey of her work is at the Carnegie Museum of Art, in Pittsburgh, through January. She teaches photography at Bard College.
There are many types of power and means of taking measure of the powerful. Many of my photographs are made out of a profound sense of powerlessness but also out of a desire to locate power and authority in unexpected places: in the natural world, in a solitary border patrol officer or in the intimacy and strength of a family under a bridge that connects the United States to Mexico. These images are reminders to me that our American landscape and the communities within it transcend this cultural and political moment.

New York Times Magazine The Disappearing Schools of Puerto Rico Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi September 15

The New York Times invited Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi to shoot a photo essay on the crumbling school system in Puerto Rico this past summer. Of course, she chose to drag an 8 x 10 along to capture all the excruciating detail. It’s a hard read from Jonathan M. Katz — and Diana’s images don’t pull any punches, either.
You can scroll a few pics here – though we certainly recommend reading the full story here .

In an unusual coincidence, we were lucky to have two of our customers shoot for The Row … both using our film processing and scanning services. One even went with conventional silver gelatin printing before scanning!
