I also saw Margaret LeJeune at SPE and felt very connected to her work. We are both documenting women who we both had prior opinions about but are trying to go in with an open mind to better understand who they are. Check out The Modern Day Diana project in which she photographs women hunters.
This project hopes that by sharing the faces of queer individuals it will be harder to discriminate against them. I think it is a nice gesture and a nice idea but I don’t have much faith in it. What do you think? Do you think a project like this can help?
This guy was at SPE and I was riveted by his work. Check it.
It’s amazing sometimes how much a single photo can create so much outrage. Recently “Mom 2 Mom” (a breastfeeding support group) put out a picture that involved two women in military uniform feeding their babies. Negative responses immediately began to pour out saying it was a “disgrace.” What do you think?
