Photographers around the world have been mourning the loss of legendary photojournalist and documentary photographer Mary Ellen Mark, who died Monday. There are many tributes you should go read, starting with The Washington Post’s In Sight blog celebration of her life.
- As NPR says, these portraits of wounded soldiers are meant to be stared at.
- You’ve probably heard lots of moaning over this reminder by Richard Prince that your Instagram photos aren’t really yours. One of the “artworks” in his exhibit is a $90,000 print of a photo by alt-porn site Suicide Girls, who responded cleverly by making posters of his prints and selling them for $90. Founder Missy Suicide followed it up by doing an IAMA on reddit, which immediately turned into a free-for-all of redditors demanding explanation for the company’s use of questionable non-compete clauses on contracts for its models and photographers in its early days (she eventually left a lengthy answer in her original post). That’s quite enough of everyone being terrible for this week, thanks.

Syrian photographer Khaled al-Hariri, who worked for Reuters for more than 20 years, has died aged 54 following a long illness. In more sad news, National Geographic photographer Cotton Coulson died on Wednesday after a scuba diving accident off the coast of Norway.

Women in Afghanistan can be incarcerated for shocking reasons. In the four years she spent visiting women’s prisons across the country, Gabriela Maj heard stories of women who’d suffered more than anyone she’d ever met. In her book, Almond Garden, Maj presents the stories of 50 of those women, alongside portraits she took after getting unprecedented access to the facilities where they live.

Mikhael Subotzky and Patrick Waterhouse have won the Deustche Börse photography prize for Ponte City, a study of an apartment block in Johannesburg.
