Heartbreak & Destruction in Photos from Gaza and Israel
After years of relative calm, tensions between Palestinians and Israelis has escalated in recent days through a series of provocations that have been answered with escalating violence. On the ground, photojournalists have been photographing scenes of chaos, destruction, and heartbreak under the incredibly difficult conditions.
On this episode of the PhotoShelter podcast, Vision Slightly Blurred, Sarah and Allen discuss how on-the-ground reporting helps bring clarity to the conflict.
Also on the show: Stephen Voss photographs the first 100 days of the Biden presidency for Politico, photographer and former public school teacher Meryl Meisler publishes a new book about Bushwick Era Disco, and did you know you can make a full-time living as an astrophotographer?

Hello
Your comments are almost objective, but not there yet.
Start looking at History since beyond 1938, regarding the Jewish people.
Images with comments exempt of the whole contest are creating a huge bias, and that is extremely far from fair.
On a different note, Allen, please consult the dictionary, the way you did read the etc, is more than wrong. Remember is from Latin, if you didn’t know that till now.
Regards,
Theo.
Dear Allen and Sarah-
It is such a pleasant surprise and honor that you talked about my work & new book “New York PARADISE LOST Disco Era Bushwick” on Vision Slightly Blurred.
My exhibit will be at Clampart June 3 – July 9. The opening reception & book signing is Saturday June 4, 2 – 7. If you can stop by then or another time it would be my delight to say hello and thank you in person.

I have a slight case of astigmatism. The name of your podcast “vision slightly blurred” makes me smile.
Thank you!
Meryl
