TRIBULATIONS

Spurred by the rapid disappearance of the world's indigenous peoples and their oral traditions, Phil Borges abandoned his dentistry practice to pursue his first love, photography. For the past 25 years, he has traveled to the farthest reaches of the globe to meet with persecuted Tibetan monks engaged in nonviolent struggle and embattled tribespeople of the Ecuadorian Amazon who must defend their way of life by any means necessary. Through interviews and portraiture, Borges documents his subjects and their tribulations with dignity, and conveys their rarely heard stories.

CHARCOAL PHOTOGRAPHS

Dirk Dzimirsky’s works are quite amazing. Dzimirsky’s works are in many private collections around the world, including USA, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and France. Most of Dzimirsky’s works are in pencil or charcoal on paper, with added highlights in white.

CHILDISH CREEP

I came across this photographer Anna Hurtig on Onexposure, and I really loved her creepy/moody child portraits. Too many photographs of children are cutesy and boring, so I like seeing a photographer be a little more creative with their subject matter.

ASHES AND SNOW

Gregory Colbert's Ashes and Snow is an ongoing project that weaves together photographic works, 35mm films, art installations and a novel in letters. With profound patience and an enduring commitment to the expressive and artistic nature of animals, he has captured extraordinary interactions between humans and animals.
