    3 days ago

    Ikko Narahara was an influential Japanese photographer known for his distinct monochrome photography that captured the essence of post-war Japan and explored themes of isolation and space. Born on November 3, 1931, in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, Narahara initially pursued law at Chuo University but eventually shifted his focus to the arts. He later earned a degree in art history from Waseda University.

    Narahara’s journey into photography began in the 1950s, and he quickly became a key figure in the avant-garde photography scene. He was a founding member of the Vivo collective alongside other notable photographers like Shomei Tomatsu and Eikoh Hosoe. This group was instrumental in redefining photographic expression in Japan during that era.

    His work is characterized by a deep exploration of existential themes, often depicting solitary figures against vast, empty spaces. One of his notable series, “Domains” (1958), features intimate portrayals of a Trappist monastery and a women’s prison, capturing the dual themes of freedom and confinement. Another significant work, “Where Time Has Stopped” (1967), documented the cityscapes of Europe with a surreal and timeless quality.

    Narahara’s photographs are not just images but are imbued with a narrative quality that invites viewers to ponder broader social and philosophical questions. Over the years, he published numerous photobooks and held exhibitions worldwide, cementing his legacy as a master of visual storytelling.

    Ikko Narahara passed away on January 19, 2020, but his work continues to inspire photographers and art enthusiasts around the world. His ability to convey complex emotions and themes through stark black-and-white imagery remains highly regarded in the world of contemporary photography.

    Child slavery is an abhorrent violation of human rights that continues to plague our world, despite global efforts to eradicate it. My stance on this issue is unequivocal: child slavery is fundamentally wrong and must be combated with unwavering resolve.

    First and foremost, children are entitled to their childhoods, characterized by education, play, and a nurturing environment. When subjected to slavery, they are stripped of these basic rights and thrust into situations that can cause irreversible psychological and physical harm. The exploitation of children in forced labor, sexual exploitation, and domestic servitude robs them of their innocence and potential, perpetuating cycles of poverty and abuse.

    Furthermore, child slavery undermines the development of communities and nations. A society that allows or turns a blind eye to such egregious violations cannot hope to progress sustainably. Education, which is the cornerstone of any thriving society, is frequently denied to enslaved children, thus crippling the future workforce and impeding economic development.

    Combatting child slavery requires a multifaceted approach, including stringent enforcement of laws, international cooperation, and grassroots initiatives to educate and empower vulnerable populations. As global citizens, we must advocate for policies and practices that protect children, ensuring they can grow up in environments that foster their well-being and potential. Child slavery is a grave injustice, and it is our collective responsibility to work tirelessly for its abolition.

    Declining to be photographed in a polite and respectful manner is important to maintain good relationships with your classmates or colleagues. Here are a few options you can consider:

    1. Address it in the moment:

      • “Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I’m not comfortable being in photos. Could you please avoid including me in any group pictures? Thanks!”

    2. Catching the photographer before the photo is taken:

      • “Excuse me, would it be alright if I’m not in the picture? I’d rather not be photographed. Thank you for understanding.”

    3. After the photo is taken, but before it’s shared:

      • “Hi [Photographer’s Name], I’m not really comfortable with having my photos shared. Could you crop me out or just not include the ones with me in them? Thanks!”

    4. Consider addressing it in the group chat:

      • “Hey everyone, I noticed some photos were shared in the chat. I’d prefer not to have my photos shared publicly. Can you guys keep group pics without me out of the chat? Appreciate it!”

    5. Speak privately with the person who took the photo:

      • “Hey [Photographer’s Name], can I have a quick word? I’m not very comfortable with having my photos shared in the group chat. Could you kindly not share the ones with me?”

    Remember to acknowledge their understanding and cooperation to keep the atmosphere friendly. Most people will understand and respect your wishes if you communicate your boundaries clearly and politely.
