Throughout 2007, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle staff photographer Will Yurman’s goal was to document the stories of the more than 50 homicide victims in the Rochester area. “Every death is a tragedy. But when someone is murdered, it is an act of violence against the victim, their family, their friends and every one of us,” says Yurman. “Homicide victims are not just statistics. They are our neighbors and our family.”
Not Forgotten: Portraits of Life and Death in Rochester, an exhibition of Yurman’s yearlong project, has been added to the Museum’s winter 2008 offerings on the topic of loss and hope in photography.
“It is critical that we recognize violence as an epidemic, both in our society and worldwide. George Eastman House is taking a lead role in encouraging a dialogue about this issue and its effect on our lives,” says Museum Director Anthony Bannon. “By presenting LOSS/HOPE exhibitions and programs about seemingly disparate topics such as the civil rights movement, early 20th-century child welfare, conflicts in the Middle East, and others, we are showing that the photograph has been and continues to be a vehicle for both understanding and change.”

With "The Family of Dog", Michael Ruetz has created, over the last 50 years, a unique body of photographic work. Superficially, these images might appear to pay tribute to the established forms of animal photography. But a second, more focused view shows that the reverse is true. Ruetz' pictures are as far removed from those of the animal specialist...

Cela fait partie du travail du photographe de voir plus intensément que la plupart des gens. Il doit avoir et garder en lui quelque chose de la réceptivité de l'enfant qui regarde le monde pour la première fois ou du voyageur qui pénètre dans un pays étrange.
