Sister Gertrude Morgan

She believed that God came to her and told her to start painting and that she was the bride of Jesus Christ. My favorite is the one of her and Jesus flying in an airplane.

"Poverty's grinding malevolence is fed in part by social choices and public
policy decisions that directly impact how many people are poor and how long
they remain that way. To acknowledge that is to own up to our role in the
misery of the poor--be it the politicians we vote for who cut programs aimed
at helping the economically vulnerable; the narrative of bootstrap individualism
we invoke to deflect the relevence of the considerable benefits we've received
while bitterly complaining of the few breaks the poor might get; the religious
myths we circulate that bring shame on the poor by chiding them for lacking the appropriate hunger to be prosperous; and the resentment of the alleged pathology
of poor blacks--fueled more by stereotypes than empirical support--that gives us license to dismiss or demonize them."

Photographs of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina by David Burnett





David Burnett's website

A graphic novel, A.D: New Orleans After the Deluge by Josh Neufeld was published this month. It depicts real life accounts of Hurricane Katrina survivors with beautiful illustrations. I would love to buy it, but I'm poor so I read a little bit of the webcomic and was very impressed. There are links next to a lot of the illustrations that take you to actual photographs and video footage.

Martha Cooper

How rare are pivotal women street photographers? She has been shooting New York graffiti culture since the 1970's. I love her photographs of children.
