Everyday there are lives at home and on the other side of the world that go unnoticed; lives that may matter little to the personal hustle of trying to pay rent, get children to do their homework or figure out how late to leave the couch and still make it to work on time; but everyday photojournalists celebrate these lives.

From children playing while 1,034-plus bodies are pulled from the rubble of a clothing factory in Lahore where shirts are sewn for wealthy westerners, to the tattered remains of an American flag on a still ravaged New Jersey coast line on the six month anniversary of Hurricane Sandy; these documentary images take us beyond a scrolling news flash on the bottom of a cable news show and ask us to look. To look and if we stop long enough to force us to stare for a moment; to question why.

After trying to capture a long exposure image of the stars while camping, Chris McCaw accidentally forgot to close the shutter before sunrise. The result was an image so overexposed that the film was physically changed.

Since then, Chris has perfected the process and compiled his work into a fantastic book.

DAY 16 - Denise Marie Myers

 

Our 16th post goes to Denise Marie Myers. A tender and universal project about Women of WWII and their partners and lovers out at war. Take a read below to hear from Myers herself. We hope to see a lot more great projects like this in the future from Myers.

DARWIN MAGAZINE

 

I wandered out

   into the meadow

   I buried my face

in the grass for

          a while

 

and wished the earth

              was you

 

 

 

‘All England Waits’ was made in response to love letters from WWII.  Written by women, the letters were sent to husbands, boyfriends and fiancees serving overseas. The work, which combines contemporary landscape photography and archive material purchased on Ebay, articulates something of the experience of women in wartime, yet also speaks about the universality of love and the fear of loss.

2014 will see the 70th anniversary of D-Day and this work offers the audience an imaginative and metaphorical journey into the past, whilst encouraging them to consider how modern conflicts still affect those left behind. - Denise Marie Myers

After the FBI announced that two brothers from southern Russia had bombed the Boston Marathon, the world’s attention quickly turned to where these brothers had come from — a lush strip of highlands called Dagestan. Photographer Dmitry Kostyukov reports from the Russian republic.
