Weekend Reading:
Surviving Suicide In Wyoming
Kenny drives lower back to his ranch from Bighorn National Forest. A field of 9mm cartridges in his truck.
I came across this story on Fivethirtyeight about the prevalence of suicides in middle-aged men living in the USA. Written byAnna Maria Barry-Jester with pictures byDaniella Zalcman, it uncovers how you can spiral into the darkness of depression, and how you can make it back to the light. It's a great read that addresses important issues around self-esteem, but also how societal 'norms' impact individuals. Daniella's images capture the isolation found in the landscape, and also the lifestyle, both of which can become insurmountable burdens.
"As a middle-age white man living in the mountains of the Western United States, Kenny (Michelena) is among the demographic of Americans most at risk for suicide in the country. With a suicide rate of 44 per 100,000, men in this age and geographical group have more than three times the risk of dying by suicide than the national average. In Wyoming, approximately 80 percent of suicides are men; a quarter are men ages 45-64." Read the full story on Fivethirtyeight
Can a photo grow to be right away iconic?
According to diverse publications, sure and under are a couple of articles approximately this photo. While I do not dispute its electricity, I'm no longer satisfied that the word 'iconic' is being used inside the proper context. We, as within the media, have a tendency to hurry to label snap shots and push a specific message. Again, I'm now not arguing the validity of the protest, I'm wondering the want to assert an iconic fame.
