“A lot photographers have said the most interesting place they like to photograph are the area’s just outside of a city, where the zoning system starts to fray, where the environment and area starts to encroach on our very, very careful manicured lawns, and our well maintained streets. And I guess that’s where literally the battle zone is, isn’t it?” – Hin Chua
MDM has put together an impressive mixed-media project which will debut at the Opal Gallery in Atlanta on Nov. 1st and run through Nov. 7th, included will be an Election Night Party. Also on Nov. 4th, a limited edition print will be released on 20×200 at 2 pm EST.
I missed this when I was browsing through the site the first time but it’s pretty interesting. I think it’s the type of work we’ll be seeing more of from photojournalists. They might not be able to capture enough killer images to make an essay, but when you use good editing, sound and timeliness you can convey a strong message with impact.
“Visual narration, despite all of the new uncertainties, remains a feasible form of understanding and documenting the world. But photojournalism will only survive if it becomes radically subjective, radically daring and distanced, or radically ambiguous. It has to give up petrified attitudes and must become as agile as a cursor.” – Urs Stahel, from ‘Well, What Is Photography’
