Belle Glade, FL is where “Big Sugar” got its start… by draining huge portions of the northern Everglades and planting sugar in the silt that took thousands of years to accumulate.
No photo from any of the master photographers has as much influence on me as these 3.
Photo by Wilhelm Brasse | Auschwitz concentration camp
Czeslawa Kwoka, age 14, appears in a prisoner identity photo provided by the Auschwitz Museum. Czeslawa was a Polish Catholic girl, from Wolka Zlojecka, Poland, who was sent to Auschwitz with her mother in December of 1942. Within three months, both were dead.
Photographer (and fellow prisoner) Brasse recalled photographing Czeslawa in a 2005 documentary: “She was so young and so terrified. The girl didn’t understand why she was there and she couldn’t understand what was being said to her. So this woman Kapo (a prisoner overseer) took a stick and beat her about the face. This German woman was just taking out her anger on the girl. Such a beautiful young girl, so innocent. She cried but she could do nothing. Before the photograph was taken, the girl dried her tears and the blood from the cut on her lip. To tell you the truth, I felt as if I was being hit myself but I couldn’t interfere. It would have been fatal for me.”
I started this so that NYC based photographers can seek office shares, sell gear, ask questions, look for roommates, or whatever you might need or want. I will be curating this in order to avoid it becoming a Craigslist style free for all shit show. I take zero responsibility for anything…
