Description
The author drove almost 15,000 miles in ten South-Central Indiana counties, stopping to photograph machinery, buildings, vehicles, and man-made structures that were decaying, worn-out, or abandoned. The photographs were shot over a three and a half year period between 2000 and 2003. No specific locations are listed for the photographs, which seek only to record the spirit that has been left behind by the day-to-day lives of ordinary people.

Technology is moving so rapidly in quantum leaps...
I cannot even catch my breath following it
We get blindfolded when so entangled with the trivial
Do we ever stop for a bit and wonder, what kind of illusion we are living in...?
A new hybrid species is evolving among us...
Smoothly numbing us...
Making us dependable
Less and less indispensable
A.I. is catching up with us
Are we ready? Scary but true
Siri ends up being my best friend.

En el mundo contemporáneo las apariencias han sustituido a la realidad. No obstante, la fotografía, una tecnología históricamente al servicio de la verdad, sigue ejerciendo una función de mecanismo ortopédico de la conciencia moderna: la cámara no miente, toda fotografía es una evidencia. A partir de vivencias personales, el autor crítica esta creencia y reflexiona sobre aspectos fundamentales de la creación y de la cultura actual.

En la primera década del siglo XXI, una premiada imagen del fotoperiodista Javier Bauluz y otra de Clemente Bernad protagonizaron dos sonadas polémicas. Sin entrar en el fondo del debate, Joan Fontcuberta interpreta las razones esgrimidas, camufladas bajo un manto de indiferencias cruzadas. ¿Es la cámara indiferente al suceso fotografiado? ¿Se puede fotografiar la indiferencia? ¿Pueden fotógrafo y modelo mantenerse indiferentes? ¿Es la fotografía...

To Texans, barbecue is elemental. Succulent, savory, perfumed with smoke and spice, it transcends the term "comfort food." It's downright heavenly, and it's also a staff of Texas life. Like a dust storm or a downpour, barbecue is a force of Texas nature, a stalwart tie to the state's cultural and culinary history. Though the word is often shortened to "BBQ," the tradition of barbecue stands Texas-tall. Photographer Wyatt McSpadden has spent some twenty...

Throughout his sixty-year career as folklorist, ethnographer, criminologist, filmmaker, and journalist, Bruce Jackson has taken photographs of family, friends, people he worked with, people he studied, and people he encountered. Ways...
