ZEKE THE MAGAZINE OF GLOBAL DOCUMENTARY Published by Social Documentary Network Dear ZEKE Readers: Welcome to the tenth issue of ZEKE magazine! What keeps us going is 1) our love of the photographic image, and 2) our belief in the ability of photographs to communicate important information about our world, especially at a time when our experiences are more visual than ever. To lay out a greater case for the documentary image, I hope you will take a few minutes to read the essay I wrote on page 40 of this issue about the aesthetics of documentary photography and why good photos of bad things matter. I believe, more than anything, this describes why documentary photography matters to me. In this issue of ZEKE, we are proud to feature the work of the winners of the first ZEKE Award for Documentary Photography, Toby Binder (Germany) and Rory Doyle (US), in addition to features on Rising Tides with photographers Lauren Owens Lambert and Michael O. Snyder (both from the US), and Sean Gallagher (based in Hong Kong); and finally a feature on teen pregnancy in Rwanda by UK-based photographer Carol Allen-Storey. As a prelude to the next issue of ZEKE, we have an interview by Caterina Clerici with Lekgetho Makola, Head of the Market Photo Workshop in Johannesburg, South Africa. What we learned from this interview is there is a remarkable photo community in Africa, which we know little about here. We look forward to exploring this vibrant community in the next issue of ZEKE which will be a special issue on photography in Africa, guest-edited by Makola. At the time I am writing this letter, the US is reeling from two mass shootings—in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. The first by an avowed white supremacist espousing racial hatred and the second by a mentally ill person just filled with hate. What these two shooters have in common is that they are white, male, and have unfettered access to semi-automatic high powered weapons. While I wouldn’t suggest putting any restrictions on the first two qualities (some may disagree with this position), it is long overdue that we question whether highly dangerous and lethal weapons should be freely available to anyone. We don’t allow access to automatic weapons or certain classes of explosives; we enforce speed limits; we heavily regulate food, children’s toys, medicines, automobiles and many other aspects of our society. It is about time we outlaw these weapons. But the connection I see between photography and mass shootings in the US is not the obvious one—it is not to shine light on the shooters or the massacres. Rather it is to shine light on the sanctity of the lives of everyone else—me, you, our families, friends, coworkers, fellow citizens in these united states of America, and to make a case why these lives need to take precedent over the dubious right to own weapons of mass destruction. What photography does so well is to describe individual people and to help us see both our common humanity and our common diversity, all deserving of equal love and protection.
