The Sterile Eye on Flickr

You may have noticed that I haven’t been writing all that much this year. The pace will hopefully pick up some time soon. In the meantime I have stepped up my photo sharing. Head over to my Flickr photostream to see lots of new and old photos. And although I look forward to writing more again, writing about music photography is a bit like dancing about architecture.

Wilhelm, a set on Flickr.
This is a photo series I shot of Wilhelm, a Norwegian Romani. The photos were taken in 2011 outside Oslo prison, where he was locked up for some time as a youth.
A strong and wise man.
The photos were taken for a project called Romanimanus rakrar avri! – The Romani People’s Own Stories.

The National Museum of Health and Medicine (run by the US Army) are making a selection of their vast archive of military medical photos available on Flickr. Almost 800 photos are currenly uploaded, all with a Creative Commons License.
Head archivist Mike Rhode revealed the museum’s excellent policy in this statement to Wire:
“You pay taxes. These are your pictures,” Rhode said. “You should be able to see them”.
