Matteo Vergani's City of Kids: Images from the Future

An image taken by one of the children working in Matteo's project.

Here is a link to Matteo's blog

Matteo Vergani's poster was right across from mine this summer at IVSA in New York City.  We shared double-sided tape.  He had this great presentation on the computer with lots of graphics and images and sounds.  Matteo spent 3 months in favela Rocinha in Rio de Janeiro working with kids. He gave them cameras. They took photographs.  Matteo writes: "Kids themselves took the pictures using discardable cameras.  They used them to tell the story of their lives, of the faces they see everyday, of the spaces they inhabit, of their parents, their neighbors, their brothers and sisters."  Also see: Kids-with-cameras.org

Larry Volk's A Story of Roses

This is a short conversation I had with photography professor Larry Volk (Endicott College) about his project,  "A Story of Roses."  I remember talking to Larry about this project when I started putting together my dissertation site and thinking this is ALL about lost (loss) and found (discovery). 

You can view "A Story of Roses" on his portfolio site: www.larryvolk.com. A quote about Larry's project from his site: "A Story of Roses" uses a digital process to combine historical family imagery, documents and text into a complex narrative, which explores the nature of identity."   

There is much left to talk about.  I plan to conduct a much longer interview with Larry. If anyone has any questions you want me to ask, please pass them along: todd[at]lostandfoundphotos.org
