Photography

Steam, sweat and silver: pictures from the last public baths in town

Before the building is sold, one photographer spent a winter documenting the regulars who have met in the same tiled room for forty years.

These disposable-camera diaries are the truest record of a scene

Blissful frames of friends reuniting after a decade apart

The photographer shooting only in the ninety seconds after last call

A series made entirely of pictures taken by accident

The darkroom collective developing film in a converted bus

Remembering the magazine that ran nothing but reader submissions

Why the best photo book this year is a stack of gas-station prints

Portraits of the night-shift workers who keep the city lit

The archive of images no one remembers taking

How a light leak became somebody's entire visual language

A year of the same window, photographed at the same hour

The kids documenting their own block before it's gone

Found film from a camera bought at an estate sale

An interview with the photographer who never shows faces

The disposable-camera wedding that became a cult photo zine

Pictures from the parking lot where everyone ends up eventually

The last roll: a photographer says goodbye to a shuttered lab

Why blurry, badly-lit and honest beats sharp and staged

A weekend inside the print swap that trades in mistakes
