I believe whiteness can enable you to act in accordance with racial scripts you might be unaware of.
In my study of street photography, many white photographers knowingly trespass, prioritizing their right to gaze over anything else.
Mark Cohen’s audacity still shocks me.
Need affordable art? Here are just two of my $20 high quality, fine art prints! I have tons of fairly priced prints of my handmade collage work & photography in my @miiriya1 print shop. I ship next day & almost always include a free extra with each order! https://t.co/DrudqINPoj
Pic 3: Large, shiny, square window with ad for guitars and reflection of photographer taking the pic
Pic 4: Sunny sidewalk shot with large tree on the left and restaurant on the right
I have to do better at adding descriptions/alt text and I didn’t for these pics but I thought I’d add the info here:
Pic 1: Large mural of a library on side of a building in broad daylight
Pic 2: Large window with reflection of the closed street for outdoor dining
TAKE. PICTURES. OF. EVERYTHING. i hate people who act snobby about taking pictures like it’s a weird thing to do?? take pictures with ur friends of ur friends or everything constantly it’s so fun and when u look back at them u will love them so much
The Alabama Senate approved a law that makes gender affirming treatment for trans youth a FELONY. We need to be talking about this. Criminalizing being trans is so beyond unacceptable, and such a massive and dangerous step backwards.
WOW. FUCK YOU @MagnumPhotos
Does your institution understand, like, at all THAT CHILDREN ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN PHOTOS?!
These children were already victims. Way to go victimizing them again. Hope you’re ground down to dust with this 🤬
I was surprised to learn that @500px has open DMs by default after a spammer contacted me. I asked to turn it off and was told “maybe the site isn’t for you”. Another example of photo communities being unwelcome and dismissive to women and POC
