  See Inside a Butterfly Chrysalis

  Just like everyone else, you learned about how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly (or moth) inside a chrysalis (or cocoon) and you desperately tried to envision what happens inside and what it looks like. Scientists who’ve opened a lot of chrysalises will tell you the caterpillar turns to goop and then a butterfly, but that’s not completely accurate, and the process of opening one destroys the structure anyway.

  visa application photography guide

  it always intrigues me to find institutional guidelines for photography, i immediately want to think about the application of this in other contexts.  or things i might find on one of these lists someday, like guidelines for facial expression.  i got to see the intake mugshot space at a police station once and they had these homemade plywood lighting boxes mounted to the wall that ensured every photograph came out flat and evenly lit without variation.  maybe ill make some bullet points about what to include/not include in the photographs i take

  Short film about Simon Norfolk’s Burke+Norfolk.

  “But when I watched the short documentary film, I was struck by his words, and his willingness to put his politics where his photographers were. He spoke with surprising honesty not just about what he thought of the work being produced by embedded photographers, but also about the entire war and its objectives. This is very rare to hear when it comes to working photojournalists. Most professionals prefer to hide their personal politics and opinions behind vague statements about ‘bearing witness’ or ‘asking only questions, and not offering answers’ and other such obfuscations that hide their fear of being marginalized in the rather small, cliquish and deeply conservative editorial world that is photojournalism.”

  - Asim Rafiqui writes about Norfolk and his project in a post called “Against Whispering” on his blog A Spinning Head.
