Alexandru Paul – Transported People

“I was looking for couples manifesting their love in buses or trams during night time. I followed them by car through the jammed traffic of Bucharest and hardly caught them. It was a fake paparazzo experience, following fake victims. Usually, I followed them until they noticed me. I wanted this to be an ambiguous experience for them too.”

Enigma Images – Even Though I’m Free I Am Not
Posted by oitzarisme on August 26th, 2010 | 1 Comment »
www.enigmaimages.net and their blog
“Though imprisoned they are everywhere with us. More than 2,190 political prisoners are currently incarcerated in the most horrendous of prison conditions in Burma’s notorious jails. Since the 1988 popular democracy movement inside Burma was crushed in a ruthless crackdown by the military regime, thousands of people have been arrested, tortured and given long prison sentences for their beliefs and political activities.
“Even Though I’m Free I Am Not” is a global documentary photography project about Burma’s political prisoners. Traveling across the world to South East Asia, Australia, Japan, Europe, USA, Canada as well as into Burma itself, hundreds of Burma’s former political prisoners who have fled the country and are now forced to live in exile often as stateless people, will be photographed, coming together to raise awareness of the tragic plight of their colleagues still detained in jail.
This simple symbolic gesture of the palm being shown in the Buddhist Abhaya Mudhra with the name of a colleague currently suffering silently in prison written on it, becomes a combined act of silent protest, remembrance and fearlessness. Qualities instilled in all of Burma’s political prisoners.”
Full details of the project can be found here on their Blog – with live reporting from wherever we are in the world and visit www.enigmaimages.net to see more than 160 former political prisoners that have been photographed for this project from countries all over the world.

Kurt Tong – 22 Steps to the Sea

www.kurttong.co.uk and his blog with an interesting fact about the project. You can preview the entire book on blurb.
“Humans have long been drawn to the sea. The ever-changing landscapes combined with the ever-changing lights seem to evoke emotion that’s unique. This project explores the relationships between the sea and those who choose to live by it.
On one hand, human seem to have the upper-hand, building roads that wind along the coast, stalking our claim to the very edge of land that we considered as rightfully ours. The desire to be close to the sea have drawn thousands of people to live there, spawning housing development after housing development. Motels and RV parks are built to accommodate the huge influx of tourists. Various industries have also taken advantage of the easy transport links and the easily accessed waste disposal.
But on the other hand, nature is dictating our every move. The very road that allows us to get close to the sea is shaped by nature herself. We try everything to stop her from claiming it back while constantly looking to expand. Houses have to be built to withstand the erosion and storms that come with living on the coast. Every year, many buildings are destroyed and abandoned.
The images are taken along the coastal roads on the Texas Gulf Coast. One of the fastest corroding coastlines, allegedly caused by the river diversions carried out by the oil refineries. The photographs in the series were taken towards land, from the viewpoint of the ocean, 22 steps from the sea.”
