picnic magazine, any proposals?
|
Hi,
I’m the photo editor from Picnic Magazine (www.picnic-mag.com) in Mexico city, every issue has a particular topic, and then we talk about all the points of views atound that topic (psicology, music, science, reportage) and it can be in a literal or as a methaphor (ex. Dead : we had a series of photos from Enrique Metinides who used to do crime scenes photos and we also did something about the orgasm le petit mort), we will start working in our next issue in a couple of weeks, the theme will be NOMADS, any proposals? let me know!

we seem to be a pretty nomadic bunch. how about doing a story on the photojournalist as a modern nomad. Riaz

I’m just about to start a project called professional homelesness in the Kansas City area. How people survive the cold and make a buck as a professional beggar. However, the angle of the story could change, which I suspect it might. Corey

Do economic refugees count as nomads? Over here we have one millions Haitians fleeing their country since the ouster of Aristide and swelling the Bateys. If you were to interpret the term loosely, you might get an interesting range of material, if you have space enough for it. sounds like a great magazine.

Latino nomads are becoming the first contirbutors to many central americans national income, they are trans-national workers aka illegal immigrant. I work on a long term project on remittances and immigration, I found out while doing a piece about working conditons’ of Latino Day Laborers in Oakland, that an interesting proportion of them have been repeatively been coming to the USA in the last 10 to 15 years, for 2 to 3 years period at the time. They used it as an opportunity to raise money very quickly for their family/projects back home, and have developed a taste for the constant moving and freedom side of it. It changed my initial focus that was to be solely on the harsh and exploiting working conditions they had to live through.

I ran into a lot of nomads in Paris. The Seine is filled with river boats, some are rented some are actual nomads. I drank some beers in a park by Notre Dame with five Ukranians and a Moldovian who lived in a small car and did odd jobs to survive. I hear there are nomads that roam the countryside in Ireland. And of course Mongolian. Here in DC I have been taking snapshot-stlye portraits of homeless people without U.S. Citizenship.

Carlos, I have a series about unrecognized Bedouin villages in Israel’s negev desert – Bedouin and nomadic lifestyle might sound like a cliche, but in case you’d like to take a look at what I’ve done on the subject, it’s on my website www.ahikamseri.com

hi there, I photographed a couple of circuses over almost two years and have lots of material, mainly about their daily lives, all the packing and moving as well, not only the show. guess they are a very obvious, but also very pretty example of nomads. you can see a little bit of it on: http://www.fotolog.net/carolsachs/?photo_id=7918254. they are a bit mixed up with other themes, but if you are interested I can email you a proper selection and the story, many thanks. cheers.

Ive created social documentary project about Internally displaced Kurdish people who have been living in Turkey and Kurdistan. What about people who became a refugee in their own homeland? All the best,

Hi Carlos, I’ve just finished shooting a two-year project in Canada on what people leave behind when they move, which I think illustrates the motive behind what forced, or persuaded them to move. Whether it was an inability to sustain a farm, or oil money forcing them from their property. Their is a large # of people being removed from agricultural work. The abandoned properties left behind demonstrate the range of how quickly the occupants picked up and left. Some of the houses have nothing but a few squatters blankets, others have television sets, school notebooks, cheque stubs, chairs, and kitchen cupboards still housing canned goods.
The images haven’t been showed anywhere as of yet. I’m in the middle of processing them, but I can post a contact sheet in the next few days. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Bryce.

Carlos:
For over two years I hitchhiked from the northeast U.S. to the heart of the Andes, photographing all along the way. The bulk of the work I did was in the Bolivian Andes, where I transformed from completely nomadic to somewhat adopted/adoptive by and to the culture and the people whom I documented.
You may view examples of this work in my profile here at lightstalkers. I would be happy to talk to you further about this project, as I will be returning to Bolivia in one week and certainly the project is not completed.

Hola Carlos, soy Dante Busquets. Que simáptico encontrarte por aqui. Te fui a ver hace ya varios meses y no volvimos a vernos. Te he enviado algunos mails con imágenes pero al parecer no ha habido nada que haya sido de tu interés. Específicamente para nómadas no creo tener nada, ya veo que aqui hay miles de propuestas de dónde puedes obtener muchas fotos. Solo te recuerdo que aqui ando y que sigo muy interesado en participar en PICNIC. Te mando un saludo.
