Word Press Photo @ Southbank Centre

I really like the movement and excitement shown in this picture taken by Antonio Gibotta, as men attacking others with flour and eggs can look silly and preposterous. Instead, they look quite serious, professional and engaged in battle.

The eggs look like hand grenades.

It reminds me of Pandaman, a character. I like the juxtaposition of the cuddly, innocent image of pandas, and this ominous, disturbing appearance of the panda outfit the caretaker is wearing.

The caretakers look like terrorists.

I really appreciate the paradox of pandas being endangered, "pure" and rare, and here pandas as mating instinctive creatures. Pandas are after all animals, even though reproduction is the main challenge of their species. Here the pandas do not have white fur, but instead brownish, dirty fur coats. The image forms a powerful narrative with the pandas and the contemplating man behind metal bars: as if this is the actual daily life of pandas in zoos, instead of cuddly, silly and child-like clean pandas behind a veil of glass. Also, why does the diagonal stick look like it connects to the picture above...?

Levitating sportsperson.

Amputees can be as macho as everyone else!

They look miserable and tortured, like objects leaning against the wall.

This series of photographs has a mythical Scandinavian quality to them.

The high B&W contrast reflects the harsh reality of the Zika virus. Photography captures reality in convincing ways for the audience to internalize what has happened.
