Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

inothernews: timelightbox: Photographer Christine Osinski on her photographs of New York’s forgotten borough, Staten Island: “I generally look to photograph the supporting players and not the main characters,” she says. “I tend to look at the minor players and the overlooked places. A lot of my work is about the familiar so that it begins to take on a more unusual presence. It makes you question your assumptions about things you know. Right under your nose there might be something that you’re not familiar with. Maybe taking pictures is an opportunity to make someone look again.” See more of Osinski’s photographs here.

We don’t know about you, but now that it’s officially summertime, we want to spend as much time in our bathing suits as humanly possible, and so, it seems, did many of our favorite writers.

Horst Faas, War Photography

Earlier this month, Pulitzer prize winning conflict photographer Horst Faas passed away.

The German is best known for his Vietnam War photography with over a decade spent with the AP in Southeast Asia, and was responsible for publishing iconic work by his colleagues.

These include the “Napalm Girl” photograph by Nick Ut of then nine-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phuc running naked from a US bombing attack; and “Saigon Execution” by Eddie Adams of a prisoner being executed in the street by police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan.

Faas’ first Pulitzer in 1965 came for his Vietnam War coverage. He won his second in 1972 for his conflict coverage in Bangladesh.

Faas died from complications due to an infection he contracted during a 2005 correspondents’ reunion in Hanoi that eventually paralyzed him from the waist down.
