After Hiroshima 

Elin O'Hara Slavick's documentation of the after effects lingering in Hiroshima after the A-bomb hit are visually poetic. She is capturing chemicals that cannot be seen but through photography can convey how they have impacted Hiroshima and its people.

She has created work using traditional photography, cyanotypes, and rubbings through her four years staying in Hiroshima.

Her book and images from After Hiroshima will be shown at the Daylight Project Space in North Carolina until June 21st.

The Gritty, Beautiful World of Ace Morgan 

Ace Morgan

Bay Area photographer Ace Morgan's full frame film shots honestly and unabashedly portray the world that surrounds him. From the Bay Area punk scene, to LGBTQ rallies, to drug addicts and serial killers, from San Francisco to Detroit and beyond, Morgan's approach lacks pretense and artifice - the grit is almost palpable in his frames.

 

His first New York solo show, which opens tonight at Strange Loop Gallery offers a panoply of pictures from over twenty-six years of documentary work. 

 

I had a chance to ask Ace a few questions via email the other day about his work, Kickstarter, punk and community. 

 

JL: Where are you from originally?
