The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College presents "Family Forms," an exhibition that invites visitors to consider how families are made, remade, and represented. Bringing together contemporary art and vernacular photography, Family Forms looks closely at kinship, care, and the stories we tell about who we are to one another.Photographs, artists' books, collage, sculpture, and video provide visitors ways to explore the spaces between our ideas about “the family” and the lived experiences of families.
HT2472 - The YOU Who Photographs When I go out photographing, I often begin with the sense that I need to shift mental gears from everyday thought to artmaking thought. I feel the need to begin the process of "seeing aesthetically." What does that actually mean? How is my aesthetic Self different than my ordinary self? Is it possible that my aesthetic self is simply more in touch with the rules and conventions that define the medium throughout history? If so, is it possible that "shifting gears to art making mode" is actually a barrier to creativity?

A leak of documents, including photographs, from the regime of Bashir al Assad has laid bare the bloody inner workings of his regime.More than 33,000 photographs of detainees, mostly believed to have been taken in 2015-2024, show the extent of the degradation and torture inflicted on them by Assad's regime.For some families, the leak to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), finally gives the tragic answer to what happened to their loved ones.Assad presided over Syria during the country's 13-year civil war during which about half a million people were killed including more than 200,00 civilians at the hands of the regime and more than 160,000 were forcibly “disappeared”.Many of the bodies in the leaked photographs bear clear signs of torture. Nearly half are naked and most show signs of starvation.Irish Times Beirut-based reporter Sally Hayden worked with the ICIJ on the leak and she explains the importance of this evidence.She notes that as soon as the Irish Times became aware of the existence of the leaked photographs in October, it has advocated for consulting victims' families regarding their release.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Photographs preserve what daily life cannot—moments that would otherwise fade into obscurity. In today's show, we explore this topic through a nexus of American culture, popular folklore, and photographic archives in a chat with Alan Govenar and Adam Forgash, two photographers and visual historians who are passionate about unearthing and preserving forgotten stories. Coming from different backgrounds, Alan's formal training and experience with the non-profit Documentary Arts complements Adam's hands-on skills hunting for treasures and selling vintage photographica at New York's Chelsea Flea Market. A few of the points they discuss include: the central role of the community photographer in twentieth-century life, the cultural significance of Route 66 as a favored connection point, the painstaking process of resurrecting century-old portraits from damaged glass plates, and much more. As Adam notes about these rescued portraits now titled "Faces of the Mother Road," "I've had these kinds of collections over the last 30 years and kind of let them go, but this one, I knew there was something special about it. So, as soon as I realized what I was looking at, I stopped. I put it in climate control storage. I got archival paper to put it in. I started a numbering system. "It feels pretty good," he adds, "to get more serious about my craft, realizing that I am a photo historian, even though I don't have a degree." Guests: Alan Govenar & Adam Forgash Episode Timeline: 3:07: Alan Govenar's early connections to photography and his introduction to Stoney, the hunchbacked tattoo artist who jumpstarted his photo career. 8:33: The role various media has played in Alan's work as an interdisciplinary artist and how changes to media has influenced his storytelling. 11:37: Adam Forgash describes New York's Chelsea Flea Market and the treasure trove of 8,000 glass negatives he discovered there. 16:18: A peek into the Texas African American Photography Archive, and the era of the community photographer. 22:02: Storytelling within a historical context and a photographer's accountability in reverse engineering a story from vestiges of the past. 27:01: Adam's accidental discovery of a second half to SJ Tyler's archive and tracking down information about the photographer. 30:49: Connecting the story of SJ Tyler's portrait studio to an exhibit celebrating the centennial of Route 66. 32:28: Episode Break 33:47: Making distinctions between Alan's formal education in folklore and Adam's schooling at the hands of New York's Chelsea flea market crowd. 40:23: Adam's approach to beginning this project, and how SJ Tyler's collection differed from past archives he's worked on. 42:52: Connections between Tyler's photographs and the significance of travel on Route 66, plus Adam's relationship to Tulsa. 44:26: Placing photographic stories in a wider historical context and their connection to the communities being served. 49:54: Funding and sponsorship for large photographic projects and the benefits to working with a registered non-profit as a pass-through organization. Guest Bios: Alan Govenar is an acclaimed photographer, filmmaker, writer and folklorist. A 2010 Guggenheim Fellow and the author of more than 40 books, Alan is also founder and president of the organization Documentary Arts, which he created to spotlight marginalized voices and cultures, through projects such as the Texas African American Photography Archive. As a filmmaker, Alan has produced and directed documentaries in association with NOVA, ARTE, and PBS. And as a playwright, he has written and produced musicals that have been performed from New York City to major venues across Europe. This year marks some major milestones in Alan's career, with a photography retrospective at the Center for Photography at Woodstock, a new documentary film premiering at New York's Cinema Village, and the publication of three new books, including Kinship & Community, released by Aperture. Adam Forgash is a photographer, filmmaker, photo history specialist, and proud former Oklahoman. In 2023, while foraging for visual treasures at New York's famed Chelsea Flea Market, Adam happened upon the archive of the undiscovered portrait photographer Sidney J Tyler. From 1913 to 1943, Tyler operated a photo studio in Afton, Oklahoma, making portraits of everyday subjects as they passed through the region, during a break in their travels along Route 66, otherwise known as the "Mother Road". This once-lost visual history of northeast Oklahoma features working-class people of all races and communities, including the famed Tuskegee airmen. After two years of intensive research into Tyler's archive, Adam's project, now titled Faces of the Mother Road: The Lost Portraits of S.J. Tyler - A Route 66 Story, is poised to make a lasting impact on Oklahoma's visual and historical narrative, just in time for the centennial of Route 66 in 2026.

HT2456 - The Most Memorable Photographs of our Age Time has a way of filtering out the unimportant. Think back 500 years ago. We don't remember local politics, but we do remember the great art from that era. What will people, 500 years from now, look back at our era and find most remarkable? I'll guarantee you it won't be your work or my work, nor even the photographs of the masters like Ansel Adams or Edward Weston. No, they will look back at the images the astronauts captured while on the moon, the Voyager, Cassini, and Juno expeditions to the distant planets, the Hubble and Webb telescope images of distant galaxies.

From X-Rays to Motion Pictures: Expanding the Photographic Medium — Anika Burgess — Burgess traces the expansion of photographic technology beyond conventional image capture. She examines Alice Austin's intimate and playful photographs documenting her social circle with candid authenticity. The discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Röntgen was rapidly branded as "the new photography" or "shadow photography," adopted swiftly for both entertainment and medical diagnostic applications despite practitioners possessing no understanding of severe radiation hazards. Burgess concludes with Paul Martin's candid street photography using concealed cameras hidden within top hats and Eadweard Muybridge's sequential motion studies, which directly enabled the invention of motion pictures. 1903 FRANCE
When gift-giving season comes around, photographers always get the same idea. Birthdays, Christmas, any big occasion, it seems perfect to give someone one of our photographs. It feels personal and meaningful. It feels like you're giving someone a piece of your creative vision, something you spent hours shaping. And since photographs can be customized, it feels more thoughtful than grabbing something off a store shelf. In our minds, the person opens the gift, loves it, hangs it on the wall, and keeps it there for years. That's the hope. The reality is usually a little different...

Ted Serios was not a man one would expect to find at the centre of a scientific mystery. He was small, restless, and fond of whiskey, a working-class drifter who stumbled into a discovery that seemed to defy every known law of physics. He called his process thoughtography, the art of imprinting one's imagination upon the camera's lens. And for nearly ten years, under the watchful eye of psychiatrist Dr. Jule Eisenbud, Serios produced hundreds of photographs that would puzzle scientists, fascinate believers, and provoke decades of debate.The photographs themselves were unlike anything seen before. Some were blank, others clouded or streaked with light. But then, every so often, an image would appear, a building, a monument, an object that had no connection to the place or time in which it was taken. A temple façade. A distant city skyline. A hotel still under construction. And all of it, Ted insisted, had come not from the camera but from his mind.Dr. Eisenbud, a thoughtful and cautious man, approached Serios's claims with scientific discipline. He invited witnesses from universities, engineers from Kodak, photographers, and magicians, and he documented every session with meticulous care. Cameras were inspected, film sealed and numbered, the settings controlled. Yet under these conditions, images continued to appear. Eisenbud's book, The World of Ted Serios, remains one of the most detailed studies of its kind, a record of a phenomenon that sits uneasily between art, science, and the supernatural.Our host revisits this extraordinary chapter of twentieth-century curiosity with a calm, open mind. He guides us through the strange partnership between Serios and Eisenbud, the atmosphere of those Denver hotel rooms thick with cigarette smoke and tension, and the peculiar ritual of concentration that preceded each photograph. He does not tell us what to believe. Instead, he asks us to listen — to the voices of those who were there, to the texture of an age when the limits of the human mind still seemed uncertain, and to the lingering question of what those photographs truly represent.Whether Ted Serios was a visionary or a trickster may never be known. But the mystery he left behind, those small, square Polaroids haunted by shadows and light, continues to whisper across the years. In this quiet, reflective episode, we look once more through the lens of the impossible, and ask: what if the camera really could capture a thought? https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Early Days of Photography: Insights from Anika Burgess Discover the fascinating stories behind early photography, from Anna Atkins' cyanotypes to the Daguerre‑Talbot rivalry, women's hidden studios, and the first surveillance photos of suffragettes—highlights from Anika Burgess' interview on the “10 Frames Per Second” podcast. The “10 Frames Per Second” podcast is a go‑to resource for anyone interested in photojournalism history, yet this particular episode dives deep into the origins of photography itself. If you're a photographer, educator, historian, or simply a curious visual storyteller, the episode offers insights and details from technical to social, on the rise of photography Meet Anika Burgess – Photo Historian & Author Title: Photo editor, writer, and author of Flashes of Brilliance: The Genius of Early Photography and How It Transformed Art, Science, and History (W.W. Norton). Background: History & Law degrees, early career at Penguin Books (Modern Classics), later freelance photo‑researcher. Passion: Uncovering hidden stories—especially of women, scientists, and “oddball” characters—in the birth of photography. From Law School to Photo Editing Anika's journey is a reminder that career pivots can lead to groundbreaking work: Law → Photo Editing: A short course in photo research opened the door to a role at Penguin's Modern Classics series. On‑the‑Job Learning: She describes freelance work as an “accelerated masterclass” in assigning, commissioning, and archival research. Teaching Lens: As a photo‑history instructor, Anika emphasizes the value of primary sources—old photo journals, newspapers, and diaries. Pioneers of Early Photography Anna Atkins & the First Photo Book Who: English botanist & cyanotype pioneer. Milestone: Created Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions (1843), the first photographic book—and made by a woman. Rediscovery: Mis‑attributed as “AA” until the 1970s when Larry Scharf revived her story. Women Photographers in the 1840s‑1850s Studio Advertisements: Journals show Miss Wigley and others openly marketing portrait studios. Color Tinting: Una Howard promoted women's employment in hand‑tinting photographs, even establishing a school for the craft. Editorial Debates: Early photo‑journals featured heated arguments about photography's purpose—art vs. science—with women actively contributing. Surprising Finds in the Archives Skin & Nail Prints: Some 19th‑century journals reported people printing photographs onto their own skin or fingernails. Psychic Photography: Experiments aimed to capture thoughts, dreams, or “effluvia”—the supposed visual aura of a soul. X‑Ray Curiosities: Early images of snakes, crayfish, and snowflakes (thanks to Wilson Bentley) showed how photography became a tool for scientific discovery. Early Photography: The Daguerre vs. Talbot Rivalry Aspect Louis Daguerre William Henry Fox Talbot Process Daguerreotype (metal‑silver plate) Calotype (paper negative → positive) Business Model Government‑funded French pension → free public release Aggressive patent enforcement, licensing fees Impact Dominated the first decade, especially in France and England Laid groundwork for modern negative/positive workflow, but hindered by patents Anika notes that Talbot's patents slowed adoption, while Daguerre's state‑backed release accelerated his method's popularity—an early example of how capitalism shapes technology diffusion. Early Photography Chemical Hazards & “You‑Tube‑Free” Learning Deadly Substances: Cyanide, mercury, and strong acids were common in darkrooms. No Antidotes: For cyanide, there was no effective remedy, underscoring the danger. Community Knowledge: Early photo clubs circulated “antidote tables”—precautions rather than cures. “There were no textbooks, no YouTube tutorials—just trial, error, and sometimes tragedy.” – Anika Science Meets Art: X‑Rays, Snowflakes & Psychic Photography X‑Ray Explorations (1890s): Photographs of snakes and crayfish revealed anatomy unseen by the naked eye. Wilson Bentley (Vermont): Captured over 5,000 snowflake images using a microscope—blending meteorology and artistry. Effluvia Photography: Early attempts to photograph the “spirit” of a person, predating modern AI‑generated ethereality. Early Surveillance: The Suffragette Photo‑Ops Arthur Barrett's Top‑Hat Camera (1908): Secretly photographed suffragists inside a London courtroom. He even coughed to mask the shutter sound. Government Commission: The British Home Office later hired Barrett to take long‑lens photographs of suffragists in Holloway Prison. Legacy: This marks one of the first documented uses of photography for covert surveillance—a precursor to today's CCTV debates. Lessons for Modern Photojournalists Transparency Matters: Early manipulators like Oskar Rieslander openly disclosed composite techniques—mirroring today's call for AI‑generated image labeling. Innovation Stems from Limits: Nadar's underground catacomb portraits show how technical constraints spark creative solutions. Community Sharing Wins: Photo clubs of the 19th century were the original knowledge‑exchange platforms—modern equivalents are online forums, workshops, and open‑source libraries. What's Next for Anika? After a seven‑year labor of love, Anika hints at a potential sequel covering 1910‑present—a period that includes modernist photography, wartime photojournalism, and the digital revolution. She's also considering shorter books focused on women pioneers and photographic chemistry. Quick Takeaways Anna Atkins wrote the first photographic book, and women have been key players since the 1840s. Daguerre's free release vs. Talbot's patents illustrates how policy shapes tech adoption. Early photographers faced real chemical dangers—no antidotes for cyanide, mercury, or acids. Surveillance photography began with suffragist courtroom shots, foreshadowing modern privacy concerns. Transparency in image manipulation is a historic constant, now relevant in the age of AI. Frequently Asked Questions Question Answer Where can I find Anna Atkins' cyanotype collection? The New York Public Library hosts a fully digitized archive online. Is the “top‑hat camera” video still available? Yes—search “suffragist reunion British Pathé” on YouTube. What was the first photo‑journalistic use of a hidden camera? Arthur Barrett's 1908 courtroom photos of suffragists. How did early photographers tint images? Women like Una Howard hand‑colored prints using water‑based pigments; later, labs introduced mechanical tinting. Can I listen to the full podcast episode? New episodes drop every Tuesday on 10fps.net and all major podcast platforms. Final Thoughts Anika Burgess' conversation on “10 Frames Per Second” proves that the early history of photography is far from a static timeline—it's a vibrant tapestry woven by inventors, women entrepreneurs, scientists, and activists. Understanding this past not only enriches our appreciation of current visual culture but also equips today's photojournalists with perspective on ethics, innovation, and the ever‑present tension between art and science.

Three women click into a Zoom. OMG. Why them? Why now? Why should anyone care? All it takes is one question -- the first question, “How are you?” -- and everything we think we knew about each other can suddenly change. Who are we? How do we come to be who we are? What's in a name? What's in a story? What happens when we openly speak our truths? Join me for this week's episode of "The Janus Adams Show" with my guests: authors Hasna Muhammad ("BREATHE IN THE SKY: Poems, Prayers and Photographs") and Gail Straub ("HOME INSIDE THE GLOBE: Embracing Our Human Family"). In this unstructured non-interview, three women click into a Zoom and the rest is a reflection of these tense times, our lives and, perhaps, something of your own: family legacy, the strength to endure amid societal upheaval, the journey of reclaiming identity, the art of holding space for complexity. Traveling the globe through our shared stories, we explore history (up close and personal), current events, justice, injustice, sorrow, and joy. Reading to and for each other, the conversation delivers a timely blueprint for courageous connection.

A key thing they found was this paradox of fully facing how bad It is and simultaneously, equally at the same time, knowing that they'll get through this. I'm wanting to do that. [But] it's not hope, because that's a complicated word." — Gail Straub [0:08:40] "I admit to feeling conflicted. I have a friends who are packing up to leave the country, something I completely understand. On the other hand, I'm the granddaughter of four immigrants, three of whom left relatively privileged circumstances to emigrate to America. Two came with their young children. Two met here.

Photography has always lived in that strange space between solitude and connection. This week on The Perceptive Photographer, we are exploring the delicate balance between the solitude that shapes our work and the community that completes it. We will look at why so many photographers thrive in the quiet, how loneliness creeps into the process, and why sharing your work, even when it feels imperfect or unfinished, might be one of the most generous things you can do for your own creative process. So much of the craft asks us to be alone: long walks with a camera, quiet hours in the car or the darkroom, early mornings before the world wakes up. Even when we are surrounded by people, the actual act of photographing is a solitary one. No one else can stand where you stand, feel what you feel, or decide when the moment is right. This gives us room to notice, really notice, the small shifts of light, the quiet gestures, the transitions and tensions that most people rush past. It is often in these moments that our best photographs show up. However, what starts as quiet can slide into loneliness. You make work for months without anyone seeing it. You wrestle with images you are not sure anyone will understand. You develop ideas in your head with no sense of how they land in the world. Without realizing it, isolation can distort your relationship with your own photographs. You begin to think they are either far better or far worse than they really are. This is where sharing becomes essential, not as a quest for validation but as the major step in the creative cycle. A photograph is communication. The moment someone else encounters your image, you can learn about what you intended and what the photograph actually communicates. You see what resonates. You discover what was invisible to you because you were too close to the making. Sharing builds connection. It builds the kind of community that reminds you that your way of seeing, the quiet and personal way you move through the world, has value. More importantly, sharing helps your work take up space outside the loneliness that created it. It allows your images to have a life beyond your hard drive and beyond your doubts. Photographs can comfort, challenge, surprise, or inspire people in ways you may never know. They can become part of someone else's story, not just your own. We might make the work alone, but we understand it together.
I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed curator, author, and expert in photography, Madga Keany. Currently the Head Curator of International Art at the National Gallery of Art, Canberra, Magda was most recently Curator at the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, and before that, Senior Curator, Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery London, where she lead the realisation of a major re-presentation of the Photographs Collection as part of the museum's rehaul. Keany has curated shows and published texts on Australian art, design and social history, photography that ranges from the Victorian period to fashion, conflict and portraiture, solo presentations of portraits by Irving Penn, among many others. She has written for the groundbreaking Know My Name project, that put women artists in Australia on a global stage as well as for Cindy Sherman, A World History of Women Photographers, and more. …but it was her exhibition last year that really grabbed my attention: Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream in', that brought together the two photographers working 100 years apart, from very different worlds, circumstances and contexts, but which showed how these pioneering women shaped the medium, with their dreamlike pictures imbued with beauty, symbolism, classicism, transformation and more… So today, I couldn't be more excited to delve into the life of the 19th century photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron, who, aged 49 in 1863, picked up a camera and, largely self-taught, crafted her distinct bohemian style pictures with that hazy sepia glow, that proved to not only be influential in Victorian Britain, but have a huge impact on photography at large. As Cameron once said: “My aspirations are to ennoble Photography and to secure for it the character and uses of High Art by combining the real & Ideal & sacrificing nothing of Truth by all possible devotion to poetry and beauty.” And I can't wait to find out more.

We've long made the assumption that photography is, in itself, an art. And in a general sense, that is true, the same way that painting is an art or that writing is an art. But I think we need a bit more specificity about precisely what the art of photography is. Surveys from 2014 showed that 1.8 billion photographs were uploaded online each day. Now imagine how many photos are taken every day, most of which will never be uploaded. Are all of these images art? Of course not —just as not every written word is considered art, either. Even within my own collection of images, the external hard drives with gigabytes upon gigabytes of image files. Is each and every one of those files something that should be considered art? I don't think so. To me, those files are simply assets. They are a tool that I could use to create art but in and of themselves, they are not actually art. It is similar to the painter who goes to the art store to buy the paints, brushes, and canvas they will need. These three things are the assets that the painter will use, not the art itself. In that same way, image files are not necessarily art. Just an element that can become art. I realize that this must sound confusing, so let me explain my thought process a little more. Photographs, photography, is potential. I'll show you some of the things I think need to be done for those assets to realize their potential...

7. The Iconic Earthrise Photo and the Genesis Reading Broadcast. Bob Zimmerman discusses how while orbiting the moon, the crew captured the now-iconic "Earthrise" photographs. A dispute over who took the famous color picture was resolved by transcript analysis: Frank Borman quickly took a black-and-white image, and Bill Anders subsequently captured the celebrated color image after scrambling to change the film. For their Christmas Eve television broadcast, Frank Borman sought guidance for a message that would match the "majesty and the significance" of the moment, as NASA's public relations chief refused to dictate the content. Borman's friend, Joe Leighton, struggled to find suitable, non-sectarian text. Leighton's wife suggested starting at the beginning of the Old Testament. Leighton realized the opening verses of Genesis were perfect, as they were fundamental to the world's major religions and fit the theme of beginning a new era of exploration. Anders, Lovell, and Borman read the verses, surprising the world, concluding with Borman wishing "God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth." 1790 GREEENWICH

Ever found yourself wondering, "Do I love photography or do I love photographs?" It might seem like a subtle distinction, but there's a significant difference between the two. Photography is the process – the act of capturing moments, exploring locations, and crafting images. Photographs, on the other hand, are the final product – the tangible results that we share and connect over. Understanding where your true passion lies can help you clarify your focus and how you approach your activities in this art form...

On May 29, 2025, MoCP presented a series of conversations exploring authorship, representation, and the dissemination of information as they relate to the past, present, and future of photography. This special edition of Focal Point Extras captures a discussion between photographer Susan Meiselas and writer, critic, and photographer Teju Cole on the topic “What Does It Mean to Look at These Photographs?” The two consider three bodies of work by Meiselas spanning several decades to examine the politics of looking at photographs—especially when those images depict stories of human struggle, suffering, and conflict.
Photographs of Edgar Allan Poe are incredibly rare. The famed writer sat for portraits only a few times, resulting in eight unique images, known as daguerreotypes. When one appeared on the TV show in Omaha, NE it seemed too good to be true. Then the FBI called. It's a tale never shared before on TV. And but for this podcast may be shared nevermore.

I'm so excited to say that my guest on the Great Women Artist Podcast is one of the world's most renowned photographers working today, Sally Mann. Hailed for her images of nature in the remote American south – full of deeply layered memories and rivers that become characters of their own – and intimate portrayals of her children Jesse, Emmett and Virginia, Sally Mann creates photographs full of beauty. Beauty being something that is tied up with ephemerality, that is alive, that is in motion, something that we have to catch. As she aptly wrote in her 2015 memoir, Hold Still, “there cannot be any real beauty without the indolic whiff of decay.” Mann's photographs are therefore both painterly and fleeting. They capture people on the cusp of something else, whether that be illness or an increasingly decaying body, but she also captures the land, connecting us to the ancient and the natural worlds. Using an eight by 10 bellows camera and 19th century photographic techniques, her black and white aesthetic - that can be both dreamlike and hazy - chimes with her interest in memory and decay. Born in 1951 in Lexington, Virginia, Mann began her artistic career as a poet, but a deep dive in photography in the late 1960s whilst attending the Ansel Adams Gallery Yosemite Workshops was one of the catalysts for her photographic career. Words have always also taken center stage - she studied literature at Hollins College in Virginia in 1974 and completed an MA in creative writing the following year. She is the author of Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs and was the subject of two documentaries, Blood Ties in 1994, and What Remains in 2006. However, this year she also released the New York Times bestselling book, Art Work: The Creative Life, a part memoir, part insight into her creative life, which is a strange and lonely one; one that is so personal and insular, and one that we can often take for granted and get angry at. Yet it was reading this that really reminded me about why so many of us do what we do… Books mentioned: Sally Mann - Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs: https://www.waterstones.com/book/hold-still/sally-mann/9780241699287 Sally Mann - Art Work: The Creative Life: https://www.waterstones.com/book/art-work/sally-mann/9780241774540 Artists mentioned: Ansel Adams (1902–1984) Edward Weston (1886–1958) Cy Twombly (1928–2011) Bill Brandt (1904–1983) Robert Capa (1913–1954) Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879) Mary Ellen Mark (1940–2015) Joseph Szabo (b.1944) Lady Clementina Hawarden (1822–1865) Imogen Cunningham (1883–1976) Artworks mentioned: Sally Mann, The Perfect Tomato (1990): https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/10396 Sally Mann, Immediate Family series (1984–1992) Sally Mann, Dead Duck (1988): https://observer.co.uk/culture/photography/article/sally-mann-my-quest-to-take-the-perfect-photograph-memoir Sally Mann, Marital Trust series (1990s to the early 2000s, to be exhibited at Gagosian in 2027) The Family of Man, a 1955 exhibition at MoMA, organised by Edward Steichen: https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/2429 -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Nada Smiljanic Music by Ben Wetherfield

Have you ever wondered how a professional photographer tackles the overwhelming task of decluttering a lifetime of memories and equipment? What strategies can help you transform your most chaotic spaces from 'Room of Doom' to organised sanctuary? How do you honour sentimental family treasures whilst creating a clutter-free home that truly serves your current lifestyle?
In this episode, we're heading deep into the muggy heart of Florida — into the swamps, forests, and backroads most people only see from the safety of an airboat. Out here, under the cover of night and cypress moss, something moves through the shadows. Something big. Something that hundreds of people claim to have seen over the last two centuries — but science still refuses to acknowledge.We're talking about the Florida Skunk Ape — the Sunshine State's answer to Bigfoot, and one of the most unsettling mysteries still hiding in America's wilderness.You might think Florida's too developed for anything unknown to stay hidden. But across generations, the reports haven't stopped. Law enforcement officers, hunters, families, and veterans have all described seeing the same thing: a massive, hair-covered figure with glowing red eyes and a smell so strong it made their stomachs turn.These aren't campfire tales — they're official reports, eyewitness accounts, and in some cases, physical evidence collected by people who had everything to lose and nothing to gain by speaking up.We'll explore nearly 200 years of sightings and encounters, from frontier settlers in the early 1800s who described “man-sized monkeys” raiding fishing camps, to the terrifying 1929 incident at the Perky Bat Tower, where something powerful enough to shake a thirty-foot structure drove out every bat inside. We'll look at the case of two Palm Beach County deputies in the 1970s — both seasoned outdoorsmen — who came face to face with a seven-foot creature while investigating livestock attacks. They even recovered hair samples caught on a barbed wire fence. You'll also hear about the Vietnam veteran who, in 1977, watched an eight-foot creature emerge from the mangroves behind his home and was so shaken that he cleared thirty feet of brush from around his property just to sleep at night. And then there are the photographs. In 2000, an elderly woman in Sarasota County sent two chilling images to the sheriff's office, showing what appeared to be a reddish-brown, ape-like creature crouched behind her backyard. The so-called Myakka Photos are still being analyzed and debated over two decades later.We'll talk about Dave Shealy, the man who's dedicated his life to proving the Skunk Ape exists — running his Skunk Ape Research Headquarters in the heart of the Everglades. His 2000 video footage of a creature running through the swamp is still one of the most-watched cryptid videos online. But this episode goes deeper than the sightings.We're asking why so many people — trained law enforcement officers, hunters, and locals — believe they've seen something that modern science says shouldn't exist. We'll dive into the psychology, the skepticism, the cultural roots of the legend, and even the Seminole people's stories of Esti Capcaki, the “tall hairy man” that predates European settlement by centuries.By the end of this episode, you'll feel the humid air, hear the buzz of the swamp at night, and maybe understand why so many Floridians won't step foot into certain parts of the wilderness after dark. This isn't just another campfire tale. This is a journey through real encounters, credible witnesses, and the enduring mystery of something hiding out there in the heart of Florida's wild places.Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode might just make you slow down a little the next time you're driving through the backroads of the Everglades after sunset — especially if you see a pair of glowing eyes staring back at you from the tree line.This is the episode the swamp doesn't want you to hear.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

She talks about the importance of not just preserving photographs, but also interpreting them and bringing them to life for the public.We explore the creation of the book 100 Photographs from the Collections of the National Trust, how she chose the images, and why some of the most powerful photographs come from unknown or amateur photographers. Anna also discusses her own personal photography journey, including a creative project based in her local park using large-format film and cyanotypes to reconnect with her own photographic voice.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in photography, storytelling, or curatorial work. It offers a fascinating look behind the scenes at how the National Trust is working to make its photographic collection more accessible and engaging, and how images from the past continue to shape our understanding of the world today.TakeawaysCuratorial work is deeply collaborative – it involves engaging with colleagues, researchers, and the public to bring stories to life.Historical photography offers timeless inspiration – images from the past can still shape how we see and photograph today.Photography projects thrive on consistency – regular practice builds both confidence and creative vision.Editing is as important as capturing – selecting the right images helps define the message and narrative.Material qualities matter – original prints, negatives and contact sheets all tell different parts of a story.Curation connects past and present – showcasing historical images can make them meaningful to contemporary audiences.Connect with AnnaInstagramLinkedInNational Trust CollectionsNational Trust100 Photographs from the Collections of the National TrustCEWEThis episode is brought to you by CEWE - Europe's leading photo printing company and their hero product, the CEWE Photobook that is the proud recipient of the Which?

He is representing himself and is seeking spousal support. Denise Richards filed for an ex parte temporary restraining order from Aaron Phypers. Photographs of a black eye were submitted as evidence and she explained that her laptop and phone were stolen. Denise accuses Aaron of disseminating private nude photographs and text messages from her stolen laptop to various news organizations, including the Daily Mail, even after the TTRO was issued. Denise moved out of their shared Calabasas home in 2023 due to marital issues and has since been renting three separate townhouses. Aaron, along with his parents, is still living in the Calabasas rental. On August 8th, a court hearing is scheduled to address the temporary restraining order. The purpose of this hearing is to determine if a more permanent restraining order needs to be issued, or if the existing temporary order should be extended. Alec Baldwin's malicious prosecution lawsuit against the prosecutor and Kari Morrissey, related to the "Rust" prosecution, was dismissed by the judge on July 29, 2025, because no significant action had been taken in 180 or more days. Baldwin's attorneys stated to Law 360 that they have been in good faith settlement discussions and will refile the lawsuit if these talks are not favorably resolved.
