INTIMACY
•intimacy• [noun]
close familiarity or friendship; closeness
Something of a personal or private nature
It is my belief that on this journey through life the Universe often presents us with an opportunity to redefine beliefs and ideas we maybe once had drawn a very concrete definition for. These ideas must be reconsidered for the purpose of growth and maturation.
Personally, I am never too fixed on an idea, or particular theory as I believe most things are fluid in their ability to be redefined or change. However, like many people, I suffer from the human urge to become complacent within my behavior pertaining to ideas and concepts that suit my current self. As the applied action of intimacy was no longer serving my current self, I was suddenly traversing through yet another existential crisis which was now assisting with a new cycle of growth and maturation it was time for me to adjust to.
Within this generation, we have seemingly managed to take sacred action such as intimacy between two or more people, and trivialize it to only be applied to romantic or sexual intimacy. Doing so neglects the beauty of intimacy required to sustain relationships with our close family and friends. For reasons only a licensed mental health practitioner is qualified to handle, my frustration with the current state of intimacy within my sexual and romantic relationships currently made me cringe from the lack thereof.
I often incorporate the help of my spirituality to assist in this processing of emotions when going through an existential crisis of such depth. This time the need to manifest more attention to my personal relationships was requested; I believe I needed to be more appreciative of said relationships and moreover how to be better at sustaining these intimate relationships.
As with most things within my path of growth this request of attentiveness to personal intimacy has been presenting itself to me throughout the month of May. After a period of deep introspection and silent observation, I welcomed the May Day event as a moment to experience the sweetness of closeness within my community.
For quite some time I had been brooding- particularly in response to the betrayal and abuse I had experienced with those with whom I thought were my community members aiming for similar objectives. It had been quite some time since I felt safe and comfortable in the same group that I had shared activism space with. During this time I was realizing I was feeling a similar feeling pertaining to my romantic relationships; again things that a licensed mental health practitioner is certified to handle.
As usual, along with my photojournalism images of the May Day event, I took the opportunity to capture some B-Sides of the day's activities.
•I N T I M A C Y•
I looked around in the circle of people that occupied a corner of the lawn within Maria Hernandez Park, people I had only known for a little over 2 years, and yet many of whom I have shared many close and deeply private moments collectively and individually. It was in that moment that the idea of restructuring this idea of intimacy presented itself; the whole moment within itself was deeply intimate. JP a comrade and fellow photojournalist arrived and the electricity of shared intimacy grew as someone we all loved deeply surprised us after being away for so long. Something in that moment was like a bolt of lightning hitting me as a reminder that I have been surrounded by the intimacy of my community this whole time.
Although the conclusion to this path I'm walking within this shift in the idea of intimacy hasn't yet presented itself. I look into my archives of B-Sides and remember I have been documenting the art of intimacy this whole time.

Okay, it's one thing to catch up to me and politely ask me to delete a photo the person who's asking is in. Whether they're camera shy, or just generally don't like having their photos taken, especially by some stranger out on the street-- I'll happily oblige. I'll even show them the process of me deleting the picture out of my camera.
It's a completely different thing when you start shouting at me, threatening that you're gonna break my camera. Nope. My response to you is to not respond at all. Just ignore and walk away. And if you're gonna be like this guy, and start throwing out racial slurs, even though you're in fucking Chinatown, surrounded by the fucking Chinese, which he assumed I was, yeah, I'm keeping the fucking photo. It's a shitty ass photo, but I'm gonna keep it. Out of spite.
This is something I've noticed, starting roughly 2 years ago. I can understand the general dislike of cameras, but man, some people in Chinatown seem to REALLY hate cameras. To the group of photographer friends who were getting yelled at by some random lunatic for taking pictures of... each other, (what the fuck, I don't know why), just keep at it, I guess.
Going back to how people react to cameras: at least, in my own personal experience, there's a definite behavioral correlation, albeit by a huge difference, when your picture's taken by a small, bright point-and-shoot, or even with a smartphone, compared to a bigger, black camera. In the case of the former, I can come off as a tourist. As for the latter, do I look like a photojounalist, prowling for a story? That's a crude generalization, but you get the idea. People do indeed react in certain ways when they spot certain kinds of cameras.
I feel so off right now, and so does this post.

The Best Lenses For The Canon 5D Mark IV –
Canon's 5D Mark IV is their new workhorse DSLR for professional photographers (lets be real, those who actually need a 1D series body is pretty minimal). This is a solid choice for wedding photographers, photojounalists, sports photographers and more. But what are the best lenses to pair with this camera? Here are our picks...

CONTEXTUAL STUDIES 5
AFRICAN AND STUDIO
Annegret Soltau - evidence of how arts, materials, craft are all becoming even more a part of photography
Richard Mosse: Incoming - 3 screen projection, massive spectacle, used inferred light, showing how you can use technology in presenting your work
Discourse Analysis:
Analysis of how we communicate in wrriten, spoken and visual forms
Knowledge is socially constructed, it is built by social institutions and the roles we play in them
We are socialised to believe in the same ‘objective universe’ - shared behaviours uphold this universe as do universal held myths
Norman Fairclough (Language and Power) examined how language is used to uphold power structures
Language is power, knowedlge is power - has an effect on what you believe and what you see
Joan Fontcuberta:
Joan Fontcuberta makes work that demonstrates how language and presentational strategies are used to evoke power
Had a background in advertising
Brought up in Franco’s Spain - facist dictatorship, manipulating truth experienced on a basic level
Has direct experience
Uses language of the documentary, the archive and the museum - make his audience question when you believe in what you see
Herbarium:
Used typological language of photography
Referenced Karl Blossfeldt - shoots them in the same way
Invented absurd examples of flowers and plants - but did it with a ‘straight face’
Using typology is the photographic document/musuem, everyone immediately assumes they are real and believes they are photographic truth
“in my work there is always a reference to art history and Blossfeldt is an impressive reference because he was the aesthetic model for new objectivity. This was the movement that generated the language of photography as truth. It has the documentary approach with the clear background and the strong graphic elements”
“im also fascinated by the way Blossfeldt saw himself. He regarded himself as a sculpture and he made his pictures to use as a pedagogic tool. Today his sculptures are completely forgotten and this is a very important lesson. When we want to be artists and we become pretentious we fail, but when we have happy accidents we succeed”
Dr. Ameisenhaufen’s Fauna
- vitrines
- ‘discovered new species in different areas’ - character
- staged photographs
- letters and documents
- a variety of photographic genres
- the character of Dr Amesenhaufen provided a narrative
- makes it believable
- uses everything from the way the images are framed to make it all believable - explores the idea of what people believe and why we believe them
“im interested in the authority of museums in general. When they deal with science they impose filters on how we see the world. It’s an authoritarian way of imposing a particular kind of knowledge on people and photography is used to add pressure to that knowledge”
“my work has pedagogic sense. Its a prophylactic approach that creates doubt in people’s minds. It questions people’s credibility in photographic culture”
“I was influenced by Marshall McCluhan when he said that the Medium is the Message”
Orogenesis
Creates fictional landscape using computer software
“I’m interested in fakes and fictions. I think there are 3 levels of fictions: criticism, parody and pastiche. I use fiction to create a critical discourse of how information is trans pitted and filtered through academic and cultural institutions” - Foncuberta
Masao Yamamoto - prints presented in glass frames, compliments prints - uses language of the material to present work
Cristina de Middel
Used to be a photojounalist
In the Afronauts created her own fictional world
Use migrants in Spain to be her Afronauts
Used found consutrctuons to be her spaceship
Published as a beautifully made photobook
referenced Zambian idea to launch Africans into space in the late 1960s
De Middel says that with the Afronauts she wants us to think why we think the idea of Africans going into space is so absurd
Josh Oppenheimer: The Act of Killing
Used a variety of techniques to both reflect on the documentary medium and to get subjects talking
Expository
Observational
Participatory
Performative
Reflexive
Uses the language of the musical and pretends he’s making a kind of Bollywood film
The Four Images Repertoires:
the portrait photograph is a closed field of forces. Four images repertoires intersect here, oppose and distort each other. In front of the lens, I am at the same time:
The one I think I am
The one I want others to think I am
The one the photographer thinks I am
The one he makes use of to exhibit his art
Erwin Blumenfeld
Born in Berlin in 1897
Fashion photographer who have images that are made interesting not by the clothes themselves, but by his creates and his talent/art
Overlap between gender and identity and dress and art
Started out making art and collage
1929 arrested in Holland for letting a strap of a swimsuit slip
Mainly known for fashion, but used collage for political images
Fashion images about visual interest, concealment
Hides what is obvious, making things go beneath the surface
Makes beautiful, colourful and interesting images but at the same time makes much more conceptual images with depth and meaning - even within fashion - not often seen
Cristina de Middel
Used to be a photojounalist
In the Afronauts created her own fictional world
Use migrants in Spain to be her Afronauts
Used found consutrctuons to be her spaceship
Published as a beautifully made photobook
referenced Zambian idea to launch Africans into space in the late 1960s
De Middel says that with the Afronauts she wants us to think why we think the idea of Africans going into space is so absurd
2014: Zun Lee’s Father Figure, tired of stereotyping of African American males - dealers, pimps and baby daddies
- searched for his own identity
- started as a search for the ‘right kind’ of black father
- progressed from this idea and different view, going against the negative stereotype
Eugenics
- the best form of civilisation in respect to the improvement of the face … where the pride of race was encouraged, where the weak could find a welcome and a refuge in celibate monasteries or sisterhood, and lastly where the better sort of emigrants and refugees form other lands where invented and welcomed, and their descendants naturalised
1846, Agassiz said he believed that blacks and whites were different species and blacks had a different mental age, tried to prove this using images (proved nothing, just his own prejudice)

The killing Fields – Review prep notes
Summary
Based on real events in 1970
USA invaded Cambodia as a result/side effect of the Vietnam war
Follows the lives of Sydney Schanberg and Dith Pran during the Cambodian Civil War
Schanberg – A New York Times journalist
Pran – A local journalist/ translator/ assistant and friend
Khmer Rouge overthrow the government and began to take over the counrty
USA pulled out their troops when the country began to down fall
All journalists and photojournalists were starting to evacuate
Schanberg stays with a group of other journalists and photojournalists – he convices prn to also stay behind and leave his family as they leave with the US troops
The group are arrested by the rebels
Pran saves them by convincing the guards they’re all french journalists
They find refuge in the french embassy – all Cambodians are forced to leave
The group are unsuccessful in forging Pran a passport due to the lack of photographic paper
Pran is forced to leave & is left behind while the others evacuate
Pran is captured by the Khmer Rouge and forced into their labor camps where he is continiously tortured by them for 4 years.
Eventually escapes and finds a charity camp who help him get to the USA where he is then reunited with Sydney and his family.
Journalists vs Photojounalists
Journalists are very out spoken and very forward – when Sydney talks down to the army – shows no respect to them, almost acts as if he is superior
Journalists run away from the war zone to follow a story of who is doing what
Photojournalists run towards the war zone to photograph the real horrors – when the bomb goes off next to them at the beginning of the film he runs into the fire and chaos
Filmmaking
Not the average story layout – doesn’t have anything at the beginning to build up the tension – jumps straight into the war
The film as a whole is very captivating
includes real footage from the Cambodian civil war – Adds more of an emotional and realistic side to the story knowing that everything that happened is an adaptation of real events
Filmed as more of a documentary on the Cambodian civil war rather than an story with camera tricks
Each scene is tied together with the next one – no huge jumps in time
Own Thoughts
Without a doubt one of the most powerful films I have ever watched
Eye opening/ educational
Powerful and Emotional
The killing fields – fields of rotting corpses
A huge betrayal of humanity and life – disgusting, alarming, upsetting
Along with the holocaust is one of the most devastating and horrific crimes of the 21st Century
Brings light to something I did not learn about in school – something I believe everyone should learn about or be made aware of
The film is extremely well produced – it acts as a sort of history lesson to me – made me want to learn more and research into the Cambodian war.
Incredible story of how strong friendship can be – Really tests their friendship – even through the horrors of war.
Although the film is extremely realistic I know that it will never be able to fully portray the real horrors of the Cambodian Civil War.
Final song – Imagine by John Lennon
Paired perfectly with the final scene where the two reunite after 5 years
A nice way to end such a heart breaking and devastating film
The lyrics of the song – Lennon was asking for a world where nobody was divided – no war, no fighting – the world would be a better place – the song fits perfectly as they hope to put an end to the fighting in Cambodia.
