Notes
-
Through the photobook Gandras: Land of the White Stork, we enter an oddly shaped corridor along the Lithuanian–Belarusian border and see how a national boundary has shaped the identities and daily lives of its few remaining residents.
-
Looking back at the 1960s through Pop, Minimalism, and Conceptual art, this essay considers the “afterimages” left by consumer culture, war, civil rights, and new materials—and their continuing influence on contemporary consciousness.
-
Placing Ansel Adams’s classic images of nature alongside work by his predecessors and contemporary photographers, the exhibition reexamines his environmental advocacy, social documentation, and the legacy of the American West’s visual tradition.
-
SFMOMA’s Sightlines brings together more than two hundred photographs, organizing them not chronologically but around ways of seeing, photographic processes, and themes of belonging, empathy, and innovation.
-
After missing the St. Patrick’s Day parade, I happened upon Toronto’s fan convention and watched from outside as cosplayers moved between assumed identities, imagined worlds, and everyday reality.
-
By running and taking photographs around a five-hundred-metre pond near home, I discovered endless variation in seemingly familiar trees, weather, and light—and the rewards of returning to the same place over time.
-
An unusually mild winter left the Yorkville ice sculptures melting—and some even collapsing—so the camera turned instead to children, passersby, and the surrounding architecture, capturing a neighbourhood crowded once again after the pandemic.
-
At Serena Gundy Park, simple portraits and candid scenes preserve the easygoing moments of a LOHAS group gathering outdoors in early summer.
-
Beginning with a bicycle outside a café in Busan, I look back through years of photographs taken in different countries, observing how a means of transport can become decoration, recreation, and a symbol of urban culture.
-
A visit to Toronto’s Jin Art Centre, moving through its classrooms, studios, student work, paints, props, and lounges to document the everyday life inside an art school.
