"In 2020, we’re immersed in an image-based culture, where we can engage with photographs of various types constantly. Images that may have once been relegated to a gallery or museum show, a photo book, or a magazine can now largely be accessed online and via Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and other social media platforms. Within this context, as the spaces where photographs can be presented and shared are constantly evolving—and becoming increasingly digital—photographers of a new generation are learning that artistic versatility is one of their greatest strengths.

A new exhibition titled “Just Pictures,” on view at projects+gallery in St. Louis, Missouri, from September 10th to November 21st, explores the work of eight young artists creating work across photographic genres, from commercial and editorial work to conceptual art. “Just Pictures” is curated by New York–based writer and critic Antwaun Sargent, whose work is often centered around reimagining the existing parameters of visual culture." #VisualLiteracy #CriticalThinking #Photography #Storytelling ...

"One surprise of the show, particularly if you mainly know Maier as a street photographer, is how on colour film she shows herself capable of much more. To be sure, the pictures are undeniably her: there’s the same sly, sometimes macabre taste for the strangeness and delight of the American city, and the same warmly sympathetic images of children (hardly surprising, given her day job). You also find the same mischievous eye for people who don’t quite fit in – another theme that may have had personal resonance. One frame shows a woman in Milwaukee in 1967, splendidly attired in fur stole, sunglasses and bonnet like a Hollywood star from the silent era. She seems to be living in a different reality – a far grander and nobler one – than the humdrum urban scene that surrounds her." #VisualLiteracy #CriticalThinking #Photography #Photojournalism #Storytelling ...

Very excited about the opening of Photoville, our PhotoWings Education Partner, which is going to be extraordinary! There's a ton of programming. We will be in two different videos during the opening. One is a quick one as part of a compilation and then a 2-minute one we made about our partnership. Photoville will be well worth your while. Thank you Laura Roumanos, Sam Barzilay, and Dave Shelley for everything you do for the world. #Photovillenyc #Photoville #Photography #Storytelling ...
