"The series, which includes participants from countries as diverse as Brazil, Greece and the United Kingdom, was initiated in South Africa, the photographer's country of origin. "The idea started with an earlier body of work titled 'Margin'," Pieter explains. 'Margin' dealt with people living on the peripheries of modern South African society, and included a portrait of an orphaned albino boy stood next to a birdbath outside his orphanage. "I kept returning to this picture," says Pieter. "Something about it captivated me, the role albinism plays in South African society."" READ MORE...

Diane Arbus would have turned 89 yesterday. A huge influence on my work, I wanted to take a moment to post some of my favorite photographs of hers...

Farewell to the Monkey House

The Monkey House at the Bronx Zoo closed last month after 111 years, as the thinking on animal exhibits has evolved.

Two articles on the closing of the Monkey House at the Bronx Zoo in the New York Times:

"All zoos, from the major accredited to the ramshackle roadside, ultimately pivot around and profit from that bittersweet blend of awe and loneliness we humans feel over being the only animal who can look back at all the others and capture them: not just behind bars, but with names.
