Our Photo Resolutions of 2022
📸For Your 👀 Only: DeSean McClinton-Holland
"I'm surprised at how difficult it was for me to answer this question. With COVID spreading and businesses changing how they operate once again, it's hard to see a year that could be as productive or life-changing as this year was for me. Then a friend showed me Hello Future by Farah Al-Qasimi. That changed everything. Not only did it remind me of how much fun it is to make work with the people and objects around me, it also made me think of all the amazing work and books created during the height of the pandemic. With that in mind, I'm now inspired and hopeful that no matter what 2022 brings, anything is possible as long as I'm focused (and fearless)." Sinna Nasseri
"Mainly, I'm getting the itch to hit the road again. After a manic 2020 where I was constantly on the move, 2021 was a lot more stable. I only drove across the country once this year! I miss the feeling of being in motion, forced to make something happen every day. So I guess my main resolution is to put myself into more uncomfortable situations. And also I think it's time for a long trip to Turkey and Iran to find out about my ancestral homeland." Devin Yalkin
"I'd love to have two books finished by the end of next year with a plane ticket to Paris Photo booked in tandem. The first book being the vampire book I've been working on and then Alone Together, which is a body of work I've been working on since March of last year.
I would love to have a solo exhibition in the making somewhere in Los Angeles, where I'll be moving to next month. Also to find an agent to get bigger commercial jobs so I can have more time in between to work on personal projects." Jamie Lee Taete
"I'm a pretty anxious and pessimistic person, but I'm going to make an optimistic resolution to try to put some good energy into the universe. My resolution is to take more intimate photos of people and places. I've spent the last couple of years photographing people either outside or indoors under extremely limited conditions (and always while having a low-level panic attack, thinking that I might be infecting people with COVID). I want to take the kinds of photos that you can only get by being close to someone for a prolonged period of time. The kinds that are only possible if COVID goes away. (I'm sure I will look back at this resolution and laugh on Jan. 1, 2023, as I'm changing into a full hazmat suit to go out and take photos amid the virus's 100th extra strength mutation.)" 17 OF OUR BEST PHOTO STORIES FROM 2021 Tyrell Hampton Kevin Winter
THINGS WE LOVED THIS WEEK 1. The Washington Post spoke with a wedding photographer about his crazy, overbooked, overwhelming 2021.
2. A truly insane Twitter thread on things that smugglers hid drugs in ... it's like everything is actually cake, but worse.
3. Get thee to a diner! A thank you to Leah Frances for sharing this decade-old video of the since-closed Prime Burger Restaurant in Midtown Manhattan.
4. It turns out I only need one cookie recipe in my life from now on, and it's this one.
5. I for one am loving all of the roundups and photo dumps from everyone's camera roll on Instagram. Keep 'em coming.
