ANIMAL’s original series I Should Have Shot That! asks photographers about that one shot that got away. This week, Brendan McInerney talks about a moment in Moldovian hospice care he just couldn’t shoot. I’m in a town called Taraclia in Moldova of the former USSR. I’m currently an English teacher.

She calls her project New York Underground “an update” to Walker Evans’ Many Are Called. Davis turned some of her work into this narrative short that plays out like a photo flip-book of interactions. Some sequences of nuances are fantastic. […]

With Obama’s drone war in full swing and expanded to include the killing of Americans, the Department of Defense will continue to purchase new UAVs, but what will the U.S. do with it’s older models? The burgeoning drone industry will need to find some new buyers. The most obvious place they’ll look is with police […]
