Blundell Street, Foxhall, Blackpool ▪️Janine di Giovanni: "I've reported 18 wars over 35 years.
I've been shot at, kidnapped, threatened, nearly raped. I've lost friends from Sarajevo to Syria. I thought l'd seen the worst of humanity. I was wrong. Nothing compares to Gaza — or the complicity letting it happen."
“Pioneers” by A.B. “Banjo” Paterson (1864-1941)
They came of bold and roving stock that would not fixed abide;
They were the sons of field and flock since e'er they learnt to ride,
We may not hope to see such men in these degenerate years
As those explorers of the bush -- the brave old pioneers.
'Twas they who rode the trackless bush in heat and storm and drought;
'Twas they who heard the master-word that called them farther out;
'Twas they who followed up the trail the mountain cattle made,
And pressed across the mighty range where now their bones are laid.
But now the times are dull and slow, the brave old days are dead
When hardy bushmen started out, and forced their way ahead
By tangled scrub and forests grim towards the unknown west,
And spied the far-off promised land from off the range's crest.
Oh! ye that sleep in lonely graves by far-off ridge and plain,
We drink to you in silence now as Christmas comes again,
To you who fought the wilderness through rough unsettled years --
The founders of our nation's life, the brave old pioneers.
Nice to see this old house on the ridge is still occupied.

The Polish government began planning a museum and memorial at Auschwitz almost immediately after the war ended. The Polish parliament passed an act creating the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum on July, 2, 1947. The first exhibition opened in that same year in Auschwitz I. The initial exhibit was expanded in 1950, and a new exhibition was installed in 1955. This latter exhibition is still on display today, though it has been modified and revised. The museum has undergone many changes marking sites in the camp to better illustrate the complexities of the victimization of Jews and others at Auschwitz.
The Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial, located today on the site of the former Birkenau death camp, was a difficult project.
The unveiling of the International Monument to the Victims of Fascism in Birkenau, as the memorial was originally called, occurred in 1967 with approximately 200,000 people in attendance. Polish state officials, prisoners' organizations from many countries, the Israeli welfare minister, the East German and Italian foreign ministers, and numerous ambassadors and journalists were present. The memorial, too, has changed throughout the years. The plaques indicating that "4 million people" were killed at Auschwitz were removed in 1990. They were replaced with plaques stating the more accurate figure of “one and a half million.”
Birkenau was the largest of the more than 40 camps and sub-camps that made up the Auschwitz complex. During its three years of operation, it had a range of functions. When construction began in October 1941, it was supposed to be a camp for 125 thousand prisoners of war. It opened as a branch of Auschwitz in March 1942, and served at the same time as a center for the extermination of the Jews. In its final phase, from 1944, it also became a place where prisoners were concentrated before being transferred to labor in German industry in the depths of the Third Reich.
The majority—probably about 90%—of the victims of Auschwitz Concentration Camp died in Birkenau. This means approximately a million people. The majority, more than nine out of every ten, were Jews. A large proportion of the more than 70 thousand Poles who died or were killed in the Auschwitz complex perished in Birkenau. So did approximately 20 thousand Roma and Sinti, in addition to Soviet POWs and prisoners of other nationalities.

My uncle just passed away a week ago and he was a journalist and well known historian in the Netherlands. I am receiving articles about him and the one mentioned him as a "gentleman journalist". This scene today at the Remembrance Day Ceremony made me think of him. There is a fine line between recording events as a journalist and respecting the significance of the moment. This soldier was doing his best to reflect on the moment ahead of him while behind him the media was making sure others who could not make it to the cenotaph, could see it on tv or read about it in the paper. I wonder how my uncle would have handled this moment knowing that the Canadian soldiers helped give his family freedom in the Netherlands.
Arnold Henry Savage Landor (June 2, 1865 - December 26, 1924) - abandoned pavilion and soldier just outside Seoul (1891) - oil on wood - Exhibition "Painting Asia from life" - MAO, Museum of Oriental Art, Turin
Artista, antropologo, esploratore, avventuriero, scrittore, fotografo, giornalista e inventore: Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1865-1924) è una figura poliedrica estremamente interessante, che ha goduto di grande successo in vita e che, per motivi non del tutto chiari, è caduta totalmente nell’oblio dopo la sua morte. Savage Landor nacque a Firenze da padre inglese e madre italiana. Visse la sua adolescenza in un ambiente colto, in cui letteratura e arte erano passioni quotidiane. Tra i suoi maestri vi fu Stefano Ussi (1822-1901), che intuì le capacità del giovane e suggerì alla famiglia di lasciare che si dedicasse alla pittura. Partito presto alla scoperta del mondo, il giovane Henry visitò prima alcuni paesi dell’Africa settentrionale e dell’America, per muoversi poi alla volta dell’Asia: Giappone, Corea, Cina, dove dipinse centinaia di opere dal vero in uno stile 'impressionistico-macchiaiolo' di rapida esecuzione.
L'unicità documentaria delle sue creazioni appare evidente: in un periodo in cui ci si affidava già all'immediatezza della fotografia, Savage Landor ha persistito a lungo nel dipingere en-plein-air, prendendo però nettamente le distanze dalle visioni fantasiose e dallo stile minuziosamente classico della pittura di genere Orientalista per immergersi invece nel mondo asiatico reale, restituendone i vari aspetti con i tratti espressivi della modernità. Lo stile dell’artista anglo-fiorentino, rapido e conciso, si rivela infatti estremamente efficace nel 'fotografare' con immediatezza luoghi e persone che di lì a qualche decennio sarebbero completamente cambiati per conseguenza dell'incipiente globalizzazione.
Explorer, adventurer, writer, photographer, journalist and inventor: Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1865-1924) is an extremely interesting figure, who had great success in life and, for still unclear reasons, fell into oblivion after his death.
Savage Landor was born in Florence to an English father and an Italian mother. He spent his childhood and adolescence in very lively intellectual circles, where literature and art were daily passions. Among his teachers was Stefano Ussi (1822-1901), who sensed the young man's skills and suggested his family to let him devote to painting. Leaving home to discover the world, young Henry first visited some countries in North Africa and America, then moved to Asia: Japan, Korea, China, where he made hundreds of paintings in real life.
The documentary uniqueness of his creations is evident: at a time when the immediacy of photography was already being exploited, he long insisted on painting en plein air.
Although he was well aware of Orientalist painting, he stayed strictly away from its edulcorated, fantastical visions and from its meticulously classic style, preferring to plunge into the real world of Asia and portray it in a modern artistic manner.
The style of the Anglo-Florentine artist, quick and concise, proves to be extremely effective in "photographing" places and people who would have completely changed after a few decades as a result of the incipient globalization.

Further Information - Biography
Claude McKay (1889 - 1948)
Portrait of poet, novelist and journalist, Claude McKay. He was born Festus Claudius McKay in Sunny Ville, Clarendon, Jamaica. He was the son of farmers, Thomas Francis McKay and Hannah Anne Elizabeth Edwards. The youngest of eleven children, he was sent to live with his brother, a school teacher, to receive the best education possible.
McKay began writing poetry at the age of ten years. In 1907, he met and was mentored by Mr. Walter Jekyl, an English gentleman living in Jamaica, who encouraged him to write dialect verse. By 1912, when he emigrated to the United States, McKay had published two volumes of poetry – Songs of Jamaica (1912), the first poems to be published in patois, and Constab Ballads (1912), based on his experiences as a police officer in Jamaica.
McKay married his childhood sweetheart, Eulalie Imelda Lewar, in New York in 1914. The marriage lasted 6 months and Eulalie returned to Jamaica with their daughter Hope, – who was later to say “...he was impossible but he was my father.”
Claude McKay never returned to his homeland. The sequel to his autobiography, A Long Way Home (1937) was called My Green Hills of Jamaica and was published posthumously in 1979. As she accepted his posthumous award for the Order of Jamaica in LA, California, 1978, the daughter that he had never seen, Hope Virtue McKay declared “… He wandered far but his heart forever dwelt in the Clarendon Hills”

As a photojournalist, Sam Hood provided photos for newspapers including the Sydney Mail, Australasian, Daily Guardian, Sun and Sydney Morning Herald. He covered many of Australia’s landmark events, but on this occasion Hood captured a more personal moment. While covering a polo match, he photographed a man — perhaps a fellow journalist — asleep at the wheel of a car. Hood’s composition leaves the match in the background hanging like a ‘dream bubble’ over his head. PXE 789 (v.50) collection.sl.nsw.gov.au/record/nQRq2gd1/PaDqvXpLqwgL2

My beautiful new friends Lena Yel (meant “spruce”, and her account address in our native social network, vk, is fucked__up__world, on the right) and Nastya (address is just yablochk and at insta - frogytraveler, on the left) stayed at my home on those hitchhike ways, which included abandoned rural Russia. We drank rather good South African wine, smoked a lot, listened music, were out on the roof, dug the fire till 3 a. m., which was a lot on their part, considering, that they planned to get up at 9 a. m. and hitchhike further. Which they did. And I managed to get up about 20 minutes before this, just to not to look excessively spooky after that wonderful night. And we talked a lot. About this war, of course. About the government (in Russia it called “the system”, as well as Russian hippie movement, we got used to this double meaning): Nastya worked for it many times ago on the very base level and Lena studied for this working and I was, maybe, the last of the free journalist in the region (recently I saw this photo with the banner: “First they came for the journalists. What happened next, we don’t know”.) About an art and the rules and freedom and love and travelling and Russian cinema. We played music a little. There wasn’t single bored moment. I walked them to the 1st lift. Before they got it, I made some photos. This is a good one, I suppose. I miss them, but hope, that we’ll meet again.
(I've changed the name of the image and consequently removed the 1st paragraph. Maybe I'll use both later.)

Male journalist, at a factory, somewhere in Worcester, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom. Date unknown, but circa 1992-94.
About the photograph.
This is a local newspaper journalist, the one seen here with the camera, attending an event at a local factory.
The factory is one of those companies that makes either the majority of the parts or even an engine, for an open wheeled single seat racing car, like a Formula One car, which you can see in the right side of the photo. The factory allowed a group of school children to attend a tour, to talk about engineering works on stuff like that, possibly to let those kids think about their future.
Because of this, the local newspaper sent us, that’s him and me, to attend and report about it. I’ll explain why I’m there in the next section below.
What is this all about?
I am a deaf person, I attended a deaf school ran by hearing teachers, and in my last year (1985-86) at school, my class were learning about jobs and work. The teacher and the visiting career advisor were to tell us about jobs, like difference between part-time and full-time, and stuff like that. They also talk to us about what kind of jobs and future we wanted to have, and also to see what needs to be done after school. Like to see if arrangements can be set up for some to get a job after leaving school, or if some of us need to attend college.
I admit my first choice was to become a diver, but my teacher dismissed it as something I can’t do because of my being deaf. I had at least 3 or 4 other ideas, but all were shot down. It is easy to look back and realised that was discrimination.
My next idea was to become a photographer. I really wanted to, I want to be a photographer, and wanted to study photography. Again, he dismissed it, but I decided to put my foot down, and stick with it. I keep trying to ask for a college course in photography, they keep asking me to rethink my options.
As time was running out, they all agreed to make arrangements for me to attend a one-year college course, which is really more of a further education course. Once again, I keep asking for a college course in photography after that course.
Finally they got me a two year college course, but it was more of training course. I had three days on-the-job training, working for a professional photographer, and two days at college, studying graphic design.
After leaving college, I struggled with trying to get a job in photography, because during those days, the early 1990s, there were still discrimination against disabled people.
I think maybe around 1993, the Job Centre got me a short term training course, in helping improve my job seeking chances, and I managed to ask if I could have a volunteer work in photography, and somehow got a placement with a local newspaper’s photography department.
I was there, familiarise myself with how photojournalist work, and learn the ropes. I was told to go with this journalist to attend this event, and while he was taking photographs for the newspaper, I was taking photographs of him for myself.
It was only a few weeks, but enough for me to want to push harder, and try to get into photography as careers, even if I still face discrimination.

Last night members from the United States 75th Ranger Regiment located and liberated captured photojournalist reporter Jake March. March was captured by Mujahideen forces in northern Afghanistan last September.
March has been embedded with Marines, Army, and even the elusive Special Forces groups including Green Berets and accompanying Navy SEALs on several missions throughout Iraq, Afghanistan, and locations in Africa.
While missing his fellow reporters tapped every local contact they had in the attempt to locate him ultimately resulting in several leads which led to his rescue.
March says he now plans to take some time at home before re-embedding with American forces on the front lines.
