In documenting his homeland, the British photographer captures its contradictions and ambiguities with a sense of humor."For the past 100 years, a box of never-before-seen negatives has been preserved in a block of ice in Antarctica. Recently, Conservators of the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust came across the 22 exposed, but unprocessed, cellulose nitrate negatives during an attempt to restore an old exploration hut.The negatives are believed to be from Ernest Shackleton’s 1914-1917 Ross Sea Party, a group that was stranded in the hut during a blizzard when their ship blew out to sea. They were eventually rescued, but the box remained buried until now." #Archive #History #Legacy #Photography #Storytelling mymodernmet.com/antarctica-conservators-discover-100-year-old-negatives/

A reluctant rock concert attendee, Bill Owens nevertheless photographed the disastrous 1969 music festival Altamont and the close of an era."We do know that women who labored in film-coloring workshops spent their long days peering into powerful magnifying glasses as they applied dye with brushes as fine as a single camel hair. Working on a tiny 35mm canvas required precision, particularly when an errant brushstroke could have ruined an entire frame. Some female colorists had developed their skills over years spent coloring postcards and lantern slides, work which required the same copious attention to detail." #Archive #History #Legacy #Photography #Storytelling #CriticalThinking #VisualLiteracy
