I’ve done quite A LOT of work over the past week, and today is an absolutely gorgeous day outside. I spent the entire morning in the sun, both walking and meeting up with friends. I’ve started to put together this weekend’s SCR, but I am a bit drained and do not want to half-ass the rest. It will be out tomorrow (I promise!). I’ve also had some grappa with my friends, so I am not functioning with a totally clear mind. I have the second part of the big War in Ukraine essay to publish next week, as well as the next edition in the series on the Spanish Civil War. Lots to do.
Please use this thread to discuss anything that you want, ask questions, make recommendations, post criticisms, and so on. In the meantime, here are some random photographs that I have taken. Anna K keeps telling me to do a “photo of the day” thing here (she insists that I have a good eye), but I don’t know if you guys would like it.
For some strange reason I had to go back and edit this one for an "image not found" thing right at the beginning of the entry.. Apologies for this.

SCR will be out tomorrow!
Nice photos. Good subjects with good composition, they are evocative.
The best one is the mural of Daniele Geniale, because it also has narrative. All the great photographs are essentially propaganda. The mural photo is technically the worst photo, but the narrative of the partisan hero atop the discarded trash bags, tells a powerful story making it the strongest image.
