Walking With The Beast
by Nick Glossop on March 24, 2013

The bear is the wild man’s close counterpart—in some legends the bear is his father. A beast that walks upright, the bear also hibernates in winter. The symbolic death and rebirth of hibernation herald the arrival of spring with all its plenty. For festival participants, says Fréger, “becoming a bear is a way to express the beast and a way to control the beast.”

Viewing Alberta’s Tar Sands: A Canadian Catastrophe
by Andrew Loewen on March 4, 2013
Business Insider commissioned photo journalist Robert Johnson to fly over the largest industrial mega-project on earth, Alberta’s Tar Sands, and document the process: from untrammeled boreal forest to strip mines, refineries, and tailing ponds. The results are spectacular and richly informative. A bird’s eye view of a made-in-Canada project. The scale of destruction and irrationality is staggering. Here’s part of a statement from Chief Adam (Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation) in …

There is no shortage of video footage of the meteor explosion over Chelyabinsk, Feb. 15, 2013. Marat Akhmetvaleev’s photographs may, however, be the only high quality stills. He was out that frosty morning capturing images of the sunrise in the south Urals from a favorite vantage point when the small asteroid appeared in the sky.
This shot shows the trails of two …

At least 3000 children died in Canadian church-run residential schools: new report
by Michelle Lovegrove Thomson on February 18, 2013
An estimated 150,000 First Nations children were abducted from their homes between 1870 and 1990– shorn, stripped, and shipped across the country. It has long been anecdotally acknowledged that many of these displaced children perished far from their loved ones, but for the first time a number has emerged.

New research authored by the Missing Children Project is shedding light on the …

Shopping in GZ: Haiyin Camera Area
by Malcolm Parker on January 23, 2013
My first camera was a Kodak Brownie I bought from a pawnshop for $5 when I was ten. I have since bought more used camera gear than new – much more. As it is with things for which you have an intense interest or passion, hunting and gathering through shops is a pleasure that can consume hours if not days. In Guangzhou, at the Haiyin camera area, it can take …

Don’t Watch This
by Nick Glossop on January 13, 2013
I am reposting this one with the debates being provoked by Idle No More in mind:
With captured images, eloquence and riveting emotion, Aaron Huey gives us a glimpse of the world as seen and understood by the Lakota Sioux of the Pine Ridge Reservation, the “poorest place in America,” and in so doing exposes an evil that most of us living in the new world would rather not …

Edmonton’s Mile Zero Dance – a Continuously Variable Physical Quantity
by Marc J Chalifoux on November 25, 2012
I have had the great privilege of photographing Edmonton’s innovative Mile Zero Dance company over the years. One of the most appealing aspects of this group of artists is the thoughtful, visually arresting ways in which they explore movement, both on the stage and in public spaces. When I , working as a film producer, dropped by the MZD studio to film an interview, I saw people chasing dancers around …
