A couple of weeks ago, @crossroadskitchen sent an email sharing with its customers that things are tougher, that they would love to welcome many more of us back, that it will definitely help to overcome a tough moment. Crossroads is our happy place - that’s where we celebrate, indulge, hang and mostly eat too much amazing food. There’s no doubt as to where we’ll spent Mother’s Day, and it was wonderful to see so many other people had a similar thought. It was packed. They all showed up. We love supporting places that are inseparable from our LA journey. Zucchini blossoms forever #iykyk #veganlosangeles

@corinnebotz ’s recent book, Milk Factory, is a collection of anonymous portraits of nursing mothers in their workplace, focusing on their pumping set up. @saint_lucy_books So much of motherhood and parenthood is about the invisible labor that never finds its way to our public self representation, on social media or otherwise. This labor becomes part of our how we love people in our lives. If you’re celebrating the mothers in your lives today, wishing you a meaningful time spent together. With everything that’s constantly happening around us, I love it that we get a moment to pause and, in the words of the one and only @alinesmithson , celebrate all those who mother. Here’s to friends holding each other up, families that care for one and another, and the networks of mothers in all their forms, pushing everything forward. I spent time with this book at AIPAD, and I’m planning to write more about it in the weeks ahead. So more soon. I’m still processing how it felt like to see these portraits. Images 1-2 are from the book, beautifully designed by Caleb Cain Marcus @calebcainmarcus Image 3: when Roy used to bring Juno to my office every day to nurse for months. Dads are superstars 🫶🏻 @rregev Image 4: Juno and me on a day out in Ojai

The happiest Mother’s Day to the most awesome and beautiful mother around. Thank you for being the most inspiring powerhouse, while making sure we all feel the love every single second of the day. Juno and Elliott would say the same, they’re just too busy being awesome, smart, and brave to be on social media. We love you!

How does the era of contested relationship between truth and images further shift the role of the photojournalist? Do we still think of them as witnesses, or do we need their subjective truth? Thanks to the @viifoundation for inviting me to share more about these ideas. Full text available on Dispatches and #Bytesize @substack

I’m profoundly grateful to the entire team at @museo.arteallimite for their intense work, and to @la_centerofphoto for their participation in my latest curatorial project, “Ella en FOCO / Focus on Her.” This project features a dialog with a selection from the exhibition curated by @rotroz in LA, Reservoir: Photography, Loneliness and Well-Being. Guest artists from this collaboration include: Ada Zielinska – @alinesmithson @asiyaart @bootsyholler @cathy_cone @papekaren @lisamccord @sandra_klein_photography @valeriehorvath @jacquerupp Ella en Foco / Focus on Her curated by @marisacaichiolo The exhibition is more than art—it’s a political statement: a dialogue among women collectors, artists, curators, and models, across the board. While conflict rages and men wage war, women are uniting to sustain humanity and illuminate resilient stories. In this weave , the female gaze untwined relationships that transcend the isolated piece: artist and collector, photographer and model, context, work, and collection, which become conversation, bridge, and memory. We celebrate the power of the image and female collaboration, and the 25th anniversary of Ana María Mattei’s @anamariamatthei ARTE AL LÍMITE Project, @anamariamatthei , which has articulated editorial, collection, and, recently, the museum’s opening. Three guests art collectors: Maya Castro @maya_castro_de_westcott , Andrea Yarur @andrea_yarur , Geraldine Compton @gigincompton , and an international institution: Los Angeles Center of Photography. @la_centerofphoto #collaborations #lacemterofphotography #museoaal

There’s no substitute for community. So grateful I got to go to the other coast and have much needed in person time with LACP artists, members, mentors and friends, and connect with so many incredible new friends in the photo world. AIPAD was a blast, and the book section was 🔥. The events, meetings and quality time in and out of the Armory was eye opening. So proud of Reservoir artists for their beautiful signing event, and we also had the best time coming together around one table. What I heard repeatedly was how we all need this creative network, and how important it is to sustain it, in and outside of institutional settings. Promise it won’t be seven years until I come back next 🫣

Discovering #analogphotigraphy as #community, making new friends, and diving in to so many much needed conversations. The first #AnalogCon by @la_centerofphoto wasn’t just a blast, it was a powerful reminder to how much we need third spaces o inspire us. Huge thank you to all of our presenters and exhibitors and everyone who joined us! Featured here - @ajholmesphoto and @negative.supply at our Exhibitirs Roundtable, talks by #jasonlee and @tracylchandler , a walkthrough by @misterleroi , fun times with @jenniferpritchardstudio , @nickcarver , @calebknueven , @yourpalmarcus and the opening of the group show Fast Forward, which I juried with @alinesmithson 🙏🏼🫶🏻📷
