Phil Klaunzer ‘Mungo’ opening 15th of May

These images were made from two expeditions to Lake Mungo in Outback New South Wales in June 2008 and July 2009. After each rain, freshly exposed bones of man and beast clearly depict the cycle of life.

“I’ve always been fascinated with human history, life-cycles and the passage of time; nowhere is this better illustrated than at Lake Mungo where you literally have the footprint of man in the landscape dating back millennia. Ice age human footprints, 20000 years old, have been uncovered here.”

I was drawn to Lake Mungo by the story of Mungo Man and Mungo Woman, the site of the oldest ritual cremation in human history. As a photographer I was drawn to graphic nature of the landscape, which ultimately influenced my decision to print in black and white.

In the digital darkroom I used Silver FX software, which allowed me to evoke an ephemeral mood simulating the traditional black and white printing process by adding film grain, tonality, contrast and toning.

Mary Ellen Mark’s four year documentation of proms across America is fascinating, to say the least.

anythingphotography explains:

Over the course of four years Mark took portraits at 13 high school proms held across the country using one of only five existing 20×24 inch Polaroid Land Cameras. The results are exquisite, formal, and composed portraits illustrating a wide diversity of couples (and solos). Emo kids. The young-rich-fashionable. Survivors. Charming geeks.

The project was published in the book Prom and documented by her filmmaker husband Martin Bell as interviews on camera. Mark’s work is currently on view at New York’s Janet Borden gallery until January 19; see some of our favorite shots of kids these days below in our slideshow.
