Here are 5 things I was looking at and loving this week:
“When Henri Cartier-Bresson was sent to London to photograph the coronation of King George VI, he turned his back and photographed the crowds instead.” This is how you do it. I love these photos. They’re so wonderfully subversive.
The Pulitzer Prizes were announced this week. ICYMI, Los Angeles Times photographer Christina House won a Pulitzer for feature photography for “an intimate look into the life of a pregnant 22-year-old woman living on the street in a tent” and the Associated Press staff won for news photography for their harrowing and powerful coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Also of note for my fellow readers are the book winners: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver and Trust by Hernan Diaz won for fiction and His Name Is George Floyd: One Man’s Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice by Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa won for nonfiction. Stay True by Hua Hsu won for memoir. and because I’m a great big nerd, of course, I have a spreadsheet of past winners.
