Robert Doisneau, one of France’s great 20th-century #photographers, illuminated the humanity of Parisians struggling to resume their everyday lives in the aftermath of #WW2. He preferred taking photos of objects rather than people. Eventually, he turned this to his advantage, using the invisibility of the photographer to uncover the poetry of the streets, a lifelong subject.
I believe this photo, "Boulangerie à Belleville pendant l'occupation", was taken in 1944
The Associated Press was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography in recognition of 15 searing images that rendered in real-time the devastating human toll of the war in Ukraine.
AP #photographers stood witness to the profound courage of soldiers and ordinary people.

@Mrfunkedude#Today I want to thank nature #photographers here, who mention in their posts species names of animals in their photos. If I want to draw some of these animals I know what to search for when I need some references.
I am a white man nearing his 50's (shhh), with an Irish heritage (Slainte), living as a coloniser on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I am grateful for my position in this life.
I will uplift minority voices and women, over white cis-het straight men of a certain wealth and standing. Grumble somewhere else if this hurts your feelings.
I'm looking for upbeat people (Australian?), fellow rainbow community members (I'm trans masc, bi, queer), photographers (particularly landscape), artists, gallery managers to collaborate with, neurodivergent individuals etc...
All those things describe me, plus I love hiking and camping and [queer] film (oh my).
I use and appreciate content "wrappers"/warnings so I can pick and choose when to engage. I also use and appreciate alt text (either Pascal Case or camel Case) due to my cognitive disability.
I would freaking love to read your own introductions in the comments to this post.
I do not follow journalists, politicians, most "celebrities", or companies. I loathe AI "art", noisy invasive drones, and cyclists who peddle on the footpath and expect me to move out of their way.
