BABY ON BOARD
While traveling through the
Philippines, Victor Ursabia
encounters a family of sea gypsies.
jpgmag.com/people/dancescape
When this family came alongside the ship

taking me to Cagayan de Oro in the southern
Philippines, crew members told me that they
were Bajau, an ethnic group native to the
region that survives on the ocean. Apparently
they come up to boats with tourists in hopes
of receiving money donations, so I threw a
few coins overboard. The father happily dove
deep down into the sea to retrieve them, and
when he surfaced, he showed them off as
encouragement for me to throw some more.
It isnt so much a persons ethnicity that
makes someone Bajau, but rather their
lifestyle. Bajau is a collective term used to
describe several closely related indigenous
groups that live in extreme poverty primarily
on small handmade boats. I hesitated taking
this picture because I felt sympathetic
towards the family, but realized that by doing
so I might bring attention to their situation.

EYEFUL OF POWER
Franklin Phams project about
soldiers who have died in war
catches the publics attention.
jpgmag.com/people/canaanproject
When I heard the news of an incident

in the Iraq War in July of 2004 that
killed numerous civilians and American
soldiers, I was struck by the possibility
that those who died in this event
would most likely remain anonymous.
This idea haunted me because I was
attending San Jose State University in
California and knew of several soldiers
who had died in the Middle East.
Inspired by the people who had lost
their lives while fighting in combat, I
decided to see how several anonymous
body bags would look in an urban
setting where war isnt taking place. I
recruited some friends on campus and
they stood covered with two garbage
bags the closest visual representation
of a body bag that I could find. I feel
that the result was successful, and it
inspired me to take the project all over
the world. The goal is to offer a visual
that is an act of curiosity in hopes that
viewers will connect emotionally with
those who have died in battle.
With the help of others, I have
been doing this project in as many
locations as possible because I feel
that people around the world have lost
so much due to war. When I traveled
back to my native France in the winter
of 2006, several of my friends asked
to participate. So we brought the idea
to Paris, where 15 individuals braved
the extreme cold for two days to help
deliver this message.
I believe that the young servicemen
and women who have died in war
deserve more recognition. I realize that
this war is a mess, and I know many
people want to forget about it as quickly
as possible. I also want to forget, but
at the same time, I hope this project
encourages us not to.

UNDER THE LEATHER

A stranger leads Andrea Gamba to one of the oldest tanneries in the world.

While walking through one of the worlds oldest medinas in

Fez, Morocco, I followed the distinct smell that was coming
from the tanneries. Suddenly I found myself in a bedlam of
people, near a long row of buildings that created a wall down
the narrow street. In an instant, a man grabbed me in the
02
particular way that only Moroccan dealers do and pushed me

into a workshop.
The ground floor of the building was full of colorful leather
products and frenetic people pressuring unsuspecting visitors to
buy something. I followed my guide to the top of a tiny staircase
where there was a panoramic view of the grounds. It was here
that I discovered that I was in one of several tanneries in Fez
that date back about 900 years.
Moroccans boast about how they create leather using
ancient natural techniques, a system that can be traced back to
centuries ago. The process begins by soaking different animals
hidesgoat, cow, donkey, or camelin vats of lime and water
for at least a day to remove any fat or hair. Next, the hides are
bathed in an ammonia solution in order to soften them. This
mixture sometimes includes urine or pigeon excrement, and is
what produces the tannerys famous acrid odor. The last step
involves using dried plants or spices to dye the leather. For
example, they use saffron for a yellow pigment, mint for green,
and henna for a brown coloring.
At the end of the tour, I am forced to look at the rich and
colorful assortment of leather products that they sell. Then I
stepped out the door of the tannery, and as the noise and smell
grew fainter, I found myself lost again inside the medina.

Since industrialization has yet to completely reach the Bolivian

Altiplano, it is quite common for people to use traditional and
innovative methods to complete tasks, like cleaning carrots.
These workers still employ a somewhat basic technique for
preparing the produce by wrapping their trousers in plastic
and then using rocks to form a dam in the cold river, where the
carrots are rinsed. Once clean, they are then taken to be sold in
La Paz, Bolivias capital city.

LETTER FROM THE GUEST CURATOR:

PATRICK SANSONE
While making music I often enjoy a form of synesthesia, where
the sounds that I hear I also experience with my other senses.
When this happens, I am able to see music as colors or feel the
textures of particular tones and the shadows of instruments. I
think we all go through our own versions of this when we hear
songs that inspire or challenge us. When the music breaks
free from the speakers and into our world, it can have many
dimensions beyond just the aural. As the guest curator for
the theme Inspired by a Song, I saw how photographers

experienced this and liberated different songs by interpreting
them visually. Each of these images further proved to me that
a piece of music can have many lives beyond its own.

PHOTO ESSAY INSPIRED BY A SONG
A Photographic
Journey
Patrick Sansone of the bands Wilco and
The Autumn Defense shares how his
music is a constant influence on the
photographs he takes while on tour.
jpgmag.com/stories/17092
Being a photographer is new territory for me: most of

my days are spent playing instruments, singing songs,
and making albums with my bands. Music is such a large
part of my life and mind that its hard for me to separate
anything else I do from it. So I feel that the photographs I
take are connected to my inner musical life in a way that I
cannot quite put into words. But then again, Ive never felt
that it was possible to completely describe a melody or a
quality of light either.
While I think of myself as a musician, I have always
been fascinated by cameras and by photographs. My father
used to take pictures with a medium format Rolleiflex,
which I consider to be a beautiful instrument. I have always thought of it as thatan instrumentbecause of the
musical quality it has. I can still hear clearly the rhythm of
the countdown as I posed with my sisters for family photos, followed by the sound of the shutter clicking, and then
the winding of the film. When I take pictures I typically use
my Polaroid SX-70, which I also feel is like an instrument
because using it involves rhythm and tone. And just as a
certain guitar feels right to me as others do not, I like the
way this camera feels in my hands. I think the fact that this
camera has a familiar quality that is similar to playing an
instrument makes me feel comfortable in losing myself in
the act of taking pictures.

It was a rainy day. I remember it storming like crazy that night.
The photographs in this story are from my book, 100 Polaroids, and were mostly taken as I explored unfamiliar towns
and landscapes while on tour with my bands. They represent
my attempt of having some silent moments of repose, when I
try to escape the routine of the loud nightly rock shows by going on quiet excursions and snapping images at the moment I
discover something that interests me. These explorations with
my camera are improvisations that are sometimes successful,
often frustrating, and occasionally exhilarating. I lose myself in
the picture-taking process, much like how I lose myself in the
first moments of discovering a new melody when writing a song.
I go completely by instinct on these excursions, and I often dont
realize what I have until I look at the images much later.
For a time I thought that taking pictures was an opportunity
to get away from music and thinking like a musician. But I now
realize that while perhaps this happens on a very superficial level, photography is really an extension of my musical life. When
I look at my pictures, I can see how there is some residue of my
musical thinking that seeped into the process of their creation.
In fact, I think the images I find the most exciting are the
ones that have a musical quality because they have a sense of
flow, tone, and mystery. Even though Ive been playing music
and writing songs for over 30 years, music is still very mysterious to me. Sometimes a particular chord progression evokes a
specific emotion in me that is very magical yet unexplainable. In
photography I feel the same way about color, light, and shadows. I hope that my photos suggest that there is a mystery that
exists in ordinary things and moments that is similar to how a
simple piece of music can be both familiar and otherworldly at
the same time.
Patrick Sansone is a musician from Meridian,

Mississippi, and now lives in Chicago, Illinois.
He plays in the bands Wilco and The Autumn
Defense. He also loves to take pictures with

they are a connection to their culture and the past. Each tradition
is a reminder of what they deem to be important to their identity,
regardless of whether it serves a distinct purpose or if the reason
behind it is no longer relevant. By documenting different
traditions as they were being carried out, our contributors

Baila!
Glass painting in Indonesia began during the 1920s, with

artists typically featuring characters from the shadow puppet
theater called Wayang Kulit. Over the years, the art form has
evolved and now the most common style is more abstract.
Unfortunately, there is no longer a high demand for glass
paintings, and most of the ones created today are for private
residences. A business commissioned artist Amrus Natalsya
from West Java to do this particular piece, even though the
style they desired diverged from his own.

Face Value
After many centuries, the tradition of tattooing young
womens faces has come to an end in Myanmar. According
to legend, women from the villages in Chin State were once
taken away by neighboring kingdoms and tribes because of
their renowned beauty. The practice of tattooing their faces,
payae, was adopted in order to taint young girls beauty and
help prevent them from being stolen. But over time payae
became a tradition for all young women in the area, even after
this threat was no longer a concern. Creating the tattoos was
a painful process because they were typically made using
thorns and needles, along with soot and sap for color. This
custom was outlawed in the 1960s and it is no longer
performed, so today only a few women with tattooed faces
from older generations remain.

Bushmeat
While exploring the country of Gabon in western Africa, I came across
this scene, though it was not the first sight of bushmeat I saw during
my trip. Bush hunting is incorporated into the history and customs of
the people there, and a number of conditions help it thrive. With about
85 percent of the land covered with an extensive system of rainforests,
bushmeat is abundant. And because a third of the population lives in
extreme poverty, many depend on this food source in order to survive.
However, the affluent in the area are also quite fond of bushmeat,
which encourages poachers to continue hunting the wide variety of
wild animals that thrive in the diversity of the rainforests.

Finger Paint
In the small town of Bundi, India, women will gather
before a wedding to adorn the groom and each other with
intricate henna designs. Because the older women will

completely dyed from erasing henna. This tradition gives
luck and blessings to the couple, and helps make everyone
feel beautiful. It also brings the women in the community
together, and since the process can take an entire day or

laughter is the best medicine
the captain (previous page)
My daughter, Isabella, was born about five weeks premature

in 2009 with a number of defects including three holes in her
heart, partial blindness in her left eye, partial deafness in her
left ear, underdeveloped lungs, a hip displacement, and a
thyroid condition. My wife and I questioned what had gone
wrong with the pregnancy, blamed each other, and eventually
fell into a state of depression. We relied on countless doctors
to tell us what to expect of our daughters future, while slowly
giving up the dream of what we had envisioned for her life.
But as we came apart, Isabella came together.
Despite the pain she endured, her medical issues, and the
challenges she faces, Isabella literally laughs through it all.
Whether its a waiting room or a grocery store, her infectious
laugh turns heads wherever she goes. This ultimately helped
us realize there isnt anything wrong with hershes simply
unique.
By never acknowledging her disabilities and instead smiling
through them, Isabella restored our confidence about life and
family. This lesson is something that my wife and I have both
benefited from, and today we are expecting our second child.
While my daughter looks up to me to learn about life, the truth
is that I look to her to teach me the same. She is my hero.
New York Yankees fans all over the country believe

that every time Derek Jeter steps onto the field, the
team will win. As the team captain and shortstop, he
has been the face of the franchise since the 1990s
and has led them during five World Series titles. To
me a hero is someone who makes a positive impact
on those around him and someone you can always
believe in. Time and time again, Derek Jeter has led
the Yankees to victory in a game that many thought
was lost, so he gives fans hope that the team will win
regardless of the score. Both on and off the field, he
exudes class and confidence, something that I think
is hard to come by these days.

Dr. Juliana Otieno

When I met Dr. Juliana Otieno, she
was the only pediatrician in the city
of Kisumu, Kenya, and families would
walk for days just to see her. During
that time she was working 12 hours a
day at the local hospital, a site that had
very little equipment, meager supplies,
and no running water. After her shift,
she returned to her modest home,
where she established an after-hours
clinic for families from out of town.
Dr. Otieno grew up in a society that
in many ways doesnt value women
and limits their opportunities, so she
has had to overcome many obstacles
to achieve her dream of becoming
a a physician. By doing so she has
been able to improve the lives of the
impoverished in the area that she
was raisedwhere one of every five
children will die before they are 5 years
oldand many other children around
the world.
Due to her extensive work within
the community, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC,
asked her to help assess the healthcare needs of eastern Kenya. By sharing her knowledge and insights with
the CDC, Dr. Otieno has impacted not
only the health of children in her area,
but also those in many other developing countries outside of Africa.
Today she is the director of the
same hospital I photographed her at
years ago, Nyanza Provincial General.
To be elevated to this position is quite
rare for a woman; but clearly her passion and the quality of her work could
not be overlooked.

Grandma
My grandmother was one of the most courageous women
I have ever known. During Vietnams darkest days, she
organized and captained a fishing boat for 87 people to
cross the Pacific Ocean, and also represented over 3,000
people in a Malaysian refugee camp. In her lifetime she
cared for an elderly woman, a wheelchair-bound man,
in addition to raising 6 children, 5 dogs, chickens, ducks,
and pigs. And through it all she always remembered to
see how all of her children, in-laws, and grandchildren
were doing every week.
I took this picture in February of 2009, which ended up
being a few weeks before my grandmother was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. She passed away about
15 months later, although the doctors estimated that she
only had 6 months to live.
My grandmother is my hero because regardless of
her situation, whether it be fleeing her native country
or battling a terminal case of cancer, she always put
her loved ones first. Even when she was sick, she still
routinely called all of her children to make sure they and
her grandchildren were doing all right. She never brought
attention to herself, regardless of the pain or suffering she was going through. I have never seen so much
strength, compassion, love, and resilience in any other
human being.

My father, Chuck, has been teaching me to be patient

ever since I was young. Sometimes I forget what it feels
like to not be in a hurry, but whenever I visit him I am
pleasantly reminded. He is likable, personable, and one
of the most honest people I have ever known. When I
was growing up, everyone used to always tell me, I love
your dad, everywhere I went. I guess when I got older,
I wanted people to say the same thing about me.
Today, my father is 60 and retired. He currently runs
a miniature horse farm in Plant City, Florida, where he
cares for the horses as well as trains them for shows

Nathan Perkel meets five deaf

athletes whose success is
nothing to keep quiet about.
I definitely developed a greater appreciation for
deaf and hearing impaired people after witnessing firsthand how five deaf athletes have adjusted
their lives in order for them to be successful in
their respective sport. I traveled to five cities
across the United States to photograph them, and
it was at the last location, Gallaudet University,
where I really felt the weight of the story I was
trying to illustrate. Gallaudet is the only higher
education institution specifically designed to accommodate deaf and hard of hearing students, so
my experience there was different from the other
locations in that I was able to see many athletes
with hearing impairments working together.
Having reached the practice fields on the campus as the sun began to set, I noticed that each
of them was occupied by a deaf football or soccer
team. It was amazing to watch all of the athletes
communicate to one another using sign language,
translators, and some speech. Everyone was
seamlessly gesturing to each other, and playing
extremely well. It was truly humbling to see how
all of them had adapted to their individual circumstances in order to compete at such a high level.
Curtis enjoyed an 11-season career

in the major leagues, playing for
the Expos, Tigers, Red Sox, Braves,
Yankees, and Angels. He now helps
other deaf baseball players succeed
at Gallaudet University.
Raised in the warm suburbs of Californias Bay Area,

Nathan Perkel experimented with photography at

During my time with Derrick, he was constantly asking me questions about my process because he, too, has an affinity for
photography. He told me he had recently acquired a camera and had taken it with him snowboarding. I was shocked not only
because hes into photography, but also at the fact that he snowboards, because anyone his size would have to be really fast!
He was extremely patient throughout the shoot and allowed me to go way over the allotted time, which highly aggravated his
coach. We ended up doing four different setups, and after he did his Heisman poses for the last one, I agreed to answer any
and all photography questions he may have in the future.

by Giuseppe Arcimboldo.

paintings of giuseppe arcimboldo.
jpgmag.com/people/klausgerdes
I wanted to do a project using leaves to construct portraits or

masks, but while doing research for it I discovered that, as
usual, someone somewhere had already done something along
these lines. In this case it was the artist Arcimboldo, who made
paintings with this concept in mind over 400 years ago. So I
decided to recreate his work, and I hope to eventually create my
own images with his paintings as inspiration.
Making each photograph takes about three days and is a
bit of an emotional roller coaster. I recruited sculptor Julian
Calderon to help me, and together we assemble a sculpture by
placing and rearranging the individual pieces. There is a lot of
pressure to complete each one within certain time constraints
because we work with perishable items. The process is quite
complex, so when everything begins to come together, its very
encouraging.
Much has been said about how the subjects in Arcimboldos
paintings are proportionally correct; but every single one of
those items is imaginary, and I think he stretched them beyond

reality in some instances. For example, in his painting Vortumnus, the nose is a small yet perfectly shaped pear. When a suitable match couldnt be found, we decided to substitute the pear
with a small sweet potato. After making these types of changes,
our sculpture finally starts to resemble Arcimboldos original.
When the sculpture is completed, I photograph it only to find
out later there are one or two imperfections that went undetected by the human eye. While Im tempted to correct these
in Photoshop, I never do because I like having them in there.
Ultimately I feel that they speak to the nature the work.
Although most people recognize the images immediately as
portraits, there are many who do not. At first they only see the
specific parts of the sculpture and it takes a while before they
realize that its also an image of a person. To see that thought
process being played out in real time is very satisfying to me
because it mimics the thinking behind the art: when individual
things come together they often create something more
meaningful.

NICE TO MEET YOU
Merry Me
in a turkish village, basak buyukcelen learns
the story of how one woman met her match.
jpgmag.com/people/basakb
While on a trip in Turkey, I found myself in a tiny village after
I had gotten lost near the city of Balikesir. As I was walking
around, a lovely young woman and her son saw me through
their window. She called me the tourist and asked if I needed
any help, then she was kind enough to guide me through town.
Although she was bashful and didnt tell me much about herself, I did discover that her name was Aysel and that she was
23 years old. Luckily, I was able to find out more about her after
spending the entire day with other villagers.
Aysel had come from a very poor family in Azerbaijan, and
wanted to emigrate to Turkey so that she could help them
financially. After hearing about a matchmaking service, Aysel
signed up hoping to marry a man in Turkey in exchange for a
drahomaa gift to her family typically in the form of money,
property, or even livestock.
Meanwhile, a Turkish man named Omer found that there
were no available young girls left in his village to marry after

Introduce us to someone interesting at: jpgmag.com/themes/3
they had all migrated to big cities, so he signed up with the

matchmaking service too. He got paired with Aysel, and after
they exchanged photographs of each other, they agreed to be
married. As a result, a large amount of money was given to her
family as the drahoma.
So at the age of 18, Aysel left her family and homeland to
move to this village and marry Omer. She got pregnant right
away and had a son, Yusuf, who is now 4 years old and just as
bashful as his mother.
Aysels background struck me as sad at first, but she
seemed to be very happy and comfortable, and it was obvious
that she loved her new family deeply. However, her story isnt
the last of its kind. As I left, locals told me that history was
about to repeat itself: another girl was waiting to turn 18 so
that she also could come to the village and be married.
